2025 MINI Cooper S (ICE) To Get Power Upgrade
The 2025 MINI Cooper S will have an even 200hp coupled exclusively to MINI’s revised dual clutch transmission. With a likely increase in torque, this will move the Cooper S closer to the (unchanged) 231 hp from the JCW.
Interestingly MINI is upping the power in the Countryman S to 214hp with the same B48 four cylinder. It would seem that a simple difference in programming could push the new 2025 MINI Cooper S even further upwards with that 214hp tune.
The Manual Is Dead
Pour one out for the manual transmission as MINI has killed one of our favorite options. In its place MINI will be offering a revised version of the familiar seven-speed dual clutch transmission across all MINI Cooper models. The revised dual clutch transmission is just like the one offered in current Cooper and Cooper S models combining two partial transmissions in a single housing to create smooth and quick shifts.
Also gone is the traditional gear selector we’ve become used to. MINI is moving all controls for the F66 (like all of its new models) too the dash just below the the large OLED screen.
