4 new models for MINI Malaysia: Petrol power, open-air thrills & a shock of electric speed

Just nine months after the launch of the new MINI Family in Malaysia, they are back with a fresh injection of style, performance, and electrification. The brand now welcomes four more additions to its next-generation portfolio: the petrol-powered new MINI John Cooper Works, the All-Electric MINI JCW, the All-Electric MINI JCW Aceman, and the MINI Cooper Convertible.

This expansion not only celebrates the legacy of the iconic JCW nameplate, born from motorsport triumphs at Monte Carlo, but also redefines how performance meets innovation—electrified or otherwise.

The price for the Mini JCW is RM331,088 with Mini’s warranty and service package included.

All-Electric MINI JCW – The legacy goes electric

Making its debut, the first-ever All-Electric J01 MINI JCW electrifies the JCW experience without compromising performance or personality.

All-Electric MINI JCW Aceman – A bold new shape for JCW

The third addition is the first-ever All-Electric MINI JCW Aceman, a performance-oriented crossover that offers a new dimension to the JCW legacy.
