Mini John Cooper Works GP Reliability Rating

2021 John Cooper Works GP Safety

There is no NHTSA safety rating for the 2021 JCW GP yet, although the IIHS did review the standard three-door Cooper last year and awarded it a spread of Good ratings for all major crashworthiness tests. This bodes well for the GP's safety levels. However, the Cooper's headlights were only rated as Acceptable at best.

2021 John Cooper Works GP Key Safety Features

To handle its increased power, the GP comes with a sports braking system comprising four-piston fixed-caliper disc brakes in front and single-piston floating-caliper brakes at the back. Traction is enhanced with the standard mechanical differential lock and operates together with the dynamic stability control system. Although a rearview camera, brake assist, daytime running lights, and airbags (including front and side airbags) are fitted, the GP is less about the latest safety features and more about maximum performance.
