In this in-depth review, we explore everything from the design evolution to real-world performance. Despite staying on the older FAAR platform, the 2025 JCW introduces a sharper, wider stance, new tech like a 9.4-inch OLED display, and an upgraded 280 lb-ft of torque from its 2.0-liter B48 engine. It’s smoother and more responsive thanks to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, though we still long for the days of a manual gearbox.
Inside, the cabin gets the biggest overhaul in MINI’s recent history, blending premium features with quirky MINI charm. There’s also adaptive suspension, wider tires, and an overall more composed ride. But with downgraded brakes and quieter exhaust notes, does it still stir the soul like JCWs of the past?
Join me as I take the F66 JCW through the scenic streets of Savannah to find out if this grown-up MINI still delivers the thrills. Spoiler: It’s still a blast.
We cover:
