The 2018 Mini John Cooper Works Countryman is a twee performance crossover

Look at this little guy!

OK, maybe Mini's largest model isn't exactly little, but it's still...Mini!

...I'll see myself out.

This is the John Cooper Works Countryman, a performance variant of the regular ol' Countryman.

Power comes from a 2.0-liter, turbocharged I4.

Output is rated at 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.

It'll hit 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, which is 0.8 second quicker than the Cooper S Countryman.

All-wheel drive is standard.

So are Brembo brakes, a performance suspension system and new 18-inch alloys.

You still get all the standard equipment from the regular Countryman, too, including rear parking sensors, a panoramic moonroof and keyless entry.

The JCW Countryman goes on sale in April. Keep on scrolling to check out even more pictures of Mini's latest pocket rocket.
