Rounding off the current MINI family with its unique “Always Open” features, the all-new generation of the MINI Cooper Convertible ($285,888) is here to provide fun-loving drivers with pure freedom and go-kart thrills.
Featuring compact proportions, short overhands, and a now bigger 18-inch diameter wheels, you’ll be getting plenty of agility and manoeuvrability for maximum driving fun. Newly designed exterior details also enhance the appearance of the car, which is already unique in the premium small car range.
Accompanying the car’s exterior are the standard LED headlights with light signatures that are available in three versions and the vertically aligned LED rear lights, as well as a specially orchestrated ‘welcome’ and ‘goodbye’ animation with the MINI logo projections on the floor for all doors.
Protecting you and your passengers from all weathers is the high-quality soft top folding roof, which can be fully opened in 18 seconds, even at speeds of up to 30km/h. While your folding roof opens, the window bars and side windows are lowered at the same time to provide a completely unobstructed view of your surroundings.
When the soft top is open, you don’t have to worry about luggage space as the all-new MINI Cooper Convertible has a luggage compartment volume of 160 litres, thanks to its space-saving folding system for the soft top.
You can even maximise the loading height of the luggage compartment by simply raising two locking handles in the storage area behind the rear seats.
Interior Design
With a focus on minimalist details and textile surfaces, three key elements structure the cockpit; namely the sporty steering wheel, central OLED display, and the newly designed toggle switch bar.
The OLED display, which is the new central instrument in the cockpit, is a high-quality 240mm diameter glass surface that allows you to operate all vehicle functions by touch or voice.
Even in bright sunlight, the advanced OLED technology make contents of the display easy-to-see, and includes a speed display that opens to a large full-screen speedometer for you to focus on your driving experience.
As a staple for all MINI cars, the toggle switch bar now comes in a new design with five individually designed toggle switches that provide direct access to the convertible’s most important driving functions, namely the parking brake, gear selector, start/stop button, Experience Mode toggle, and volume control.
This essentially eliminates any additional gear selector, and trading it in for more stowage space in the centre console.
If you seek a more immersive driving experience, the new MINI Cooper Convertible has seven MINI Experience Modes for you to change the interior ambience and highlight different aspects of the vehicle.
For example, Go-Kart Mode showcases a highly dynamic focus on MINI’s racing DNA featuring a display dominated by anthracite and red with specific analogue displays, while a Personal Mode offers you a more personalised cockpit design where you can use a personal photo as your display background.
Four-Cylinder Petrol Engine
An advanced two-litre four-cylinder petrol engine is now available for the all-new MINI Cooper Convertible, giving you more fuel for open-air excursions. This means that the convertible has a power output of 150kW/204hp and is able to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 6.9 seconds with a maximum torque of 300Nm.
