The Mini John Cooper Works Buggy is a car from Mini, built from 2017 to 2022, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: 3.0 L B57 I6 turbo.

The background

The Mini John Cooper Works Buggy is an off-road competition car, built by X-raid under the Mini marque. The car won the 2019 FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies and the 2020 and 2021 Dakar Rallies. The German racing team X-raid has been using the car since 2018.

The engineering

Power comes from 3.0 L B57 I6 turbo. It weighs 1675 kg. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Where it sits

Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Mini John Cooper Works Rally. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Tesla Model 3, the Chevrolet Bolt, the Ferrari 488 — show what else the money bought that year. Its Mini stablemates include the MINI Beachcomber and the Mini (3rd Generation).

What it costs now

The money question first: $7,300–$32,900 is the typical asking range today, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $3,150–$6,145 a year. Insurance sits around $1,050–$2,290 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
