Mini’s SUV can now be had with John Cooper Works power, but can it really feel more special over the Cooper S model? The engine and gearbox featuring in the JCW Countryman are no other than the 231hp 2.0-litre petrol-turbo and eight-speed automatic. That said, can the JCW Countryman really justify its near-1 million baht price premium over the 192hp Cooper S? But even if the JCW enjoys the same rate with the Cooper S, the performance discrepancy is still small. That said, the Countryman in Cooper S form is a sounder deal because it’s still quick and fun enough yet far lower in price.
