2020 MINI pricing is here including a full look at pricing for the revised JCW Clubman and Countryman. The 2020 model year is poised to be a big one for MINI USA as it launches two vehicles that represent both ends of the spectrum of the brand – the all electric MINI Cooper S E and the fastest MINI ever – the all new MINI JCW GP. While details of those two cars will have to wait we have the full rundown of pricing and equipment changes to the rest of the 2020 MINI range.
Most significantly, the 2020 John Cooper Works Clubman ALL4 and 2020 John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4 both gain a new generation engine that produces more than 300 hp, allowing each model to reach 60 mph in 4.9 and 5.1 seconds, respectively (over a second faster for each). How much does that performance cost? As it turns out not as much as we expected. The JCW Clubman and Countryman are now $39,400 and $41,400 (up $3,500 and $3,600 respectively). Compared to the equivalent X2 M35i at $46,450, that’s a fair value in our eyes.
MINI has also upped the standard equipment and base MSRPs across the board. Reading between the lines MINI seems to be playing to what customers want and how they spec their cars giving them more for less but making base MINI cost more. For instance MINI’s Active Driving Assistant option (which at one time cost almost $2,000) is now standard across all models. Let’s take a look at the details.
New MINI John Cooper Works Countryman and Clubman
The 2020 John Cooper Works Clubman ALL4 and 2020 John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4 gain a new generation engine that puts out 301 hp. The new MINI John Cooper Works Clubman turns in an acceleration of 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 4.9 seconds, with the new MINI John Cooper Works Countryman achieving the same in 5.1 seconds – 1.4 and 1.5 seconds faster than in the respective previous models.
Both of these high-performance variants will also feature lower sports suspensions by 10mm, larger exhaust pipes by 10mm, four-piston brake calipers with 14.2-inch front brake rotors, and 13-inch rear brake rotors, and can reach top speeds of 155 mph.
2020 MINI Clubman – Refresh
For the 2020 model year the MINI Clubman gets a model refresh that includes the following enhancements.
– Introduction of two new colors: Coral Red Metallic and MINI Yours Enigmatic Black Metallic
– Redesigned front end featuring redesigned grill, piano black exterior trim, new headlight design, and redesigned LED fog lights
– New exterior mirror cap design for improved aerodynamics
– New MINI Yours interior style – Frozen Blue
– LED fog lights and rear lights in Union Jack design
Two new exterior paint colors.
The extensive range of exterior paint colors available for the new MINI Clubman now adds two variants: Coral Red Metallic and MINI Yours Enigmatic Black Metallic.
Rear lights in Union Jack design.
The rear lights also feature a new design in conjunction with standard LED headlights. As a reference to the brand’s British DNA, the upright light units at the rear of the new MINI Clubman now adopt the Union Jack design that appears on the MINI Hardtop 2 Door, the MINI Hardtop 4 Door and the MINI Convertible.
The flag motif is recreated in the structure of the light functions. The turn indicators are horizontally arranged, and the brake lights have a vertical and horizontal element with the taillight additionally representing the diagonal lines of the British flag. In order to ensure a harmonious lighting effect, all light sources forming the Union Jack graphic are LEDs.

2020 MINI USA Pricing
Finally here’s the full rundown on 2020 MINI pricing for all MINI USA models with the exception of the electric MINI Cooper S E and the JCW GP. Look for those figures to come early this fall.
<p>“New exterior mirror cap design for improved aerodynamics”
Does that mean only the cap is changing, not the mounting points? As in, can this be a plug-n-play retrofit for existing owners?</p>
<p>I know it’s just mirror caps, but improved aerodynamics suggests lower wind noise as well; might be worth it for more than just style points.</p>
<p>Yes it’s just the cap. It can easily be retrofitted.</p>
<p>I believe on previous recent models of the Countryman & perhaps other models, doing a sunroof ‘delete’ was available (although there was no reduction in cost). Will that delete still be possible on the 2020 F60 across the board? Will the 2020 F60 JCW have the Union Jack taillights and/or any exterior refresh over the 2019? That F60 JCW MSRP pricing is somewhat less than I expected. My interest in that model has just risen!</p>
<p>The sunroof does not add significant weight to a car of such weight</p>
<p>When do US orders begin f0r 2020?</p>
July 1 officially.
<p>Have just checked miniusa.com and the F60 JCW does not yet show the 2020 undated build for that 301 hp model! When is that expected on that site?</p>
<p>In the next Month.</p>
<p>Thanks, Gabe. I’m in a 50/50 possibility I may opt for the 2020 JCW F60 to replace my 2017 F60 S All4 which has been a great ride after 36K miles so far.</p>
<p>As requested earlier….will the moonroof ‘delete’ be still available on the 2020? Would certainly reduce weight a bit if a delete were possible. Any exterior refresh for the F60 like the F54…even partially like the UnionJack taillights? Will watch miniusa.com for the 2020 update.</p>
<p>Something not adding up. Per the info list above, 2Dr S Cooper Hardtop 2019 MSRP is $25,900. Yet if you go to MINI USA configurator it shows 2Dr S Cooper Classic trim – MSRP is 26,400. That’s a difference of $500. Is the MSRP shown in this article for 2-Dr S Cooper incorrect? Appears to be if you go by the Configurator.</p>
<p>Next: “Reading between the lines MINI seems to be playing to what customers want and how they spec their cars giving them more for less but making base MINI cost more.” The “what customers want and how they spec their cars” is interesting.</p>
<p>I know of quite a few people who don’t want Pano-roofs. I want Autodim mirrors. Currently the only way to get Autodim mirrors is you have to chose the Iconic Trim. I’d hope MINI USA would make this a stand alone option for all trims. At least starting at the Signature trim level.</p>
<p>Finally, I’m no fan of Dual Clutch’s. Let’s hope the one MINI is using won’t have problems like the CVT they used did.</p>
<p>I just wish leatherette seats weren’t the standard, or that I could opt for cloth without having to pay a premium.</p>
<p>It’s hot and humid nearly year-round here, and I’ve never been a fan of leather.</p>
<p>Interesting (and disappointing) that the 2020 Countryman will be the only segment of the MINI brand lineup not to have the tail lights with the updated UnionJack design now that the refreshed Clubman includes those taillights for 2020 models.</p>
