New MINI Cooper Convertible

New MINI Cooper Convertible

With clean surfaces, a fully automatic soft top roof and a minimalist yet innovative interior, the MINI Cooper Convertible offers drivers an added dose of spontaneity, with the ability to drop in the roof in seconds.

The new MINI Cooper Convertible is offered with a choice of two advanced petrol engines. The MINI Cooper Convertible C (combined fuel consumption:: 6.6 – 6.5 l/62 miles; CO2 emissions combined: 150 – 147 g/km according to WLTP; CO2 class: E) has a power output of 120 kW/163 hp, a maximum torque of 250 Nm (221 lb/ft) and accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 8.2 seconds, with a top speed of 137 mph.

The performance-enhanced MINI Cooper Convertible S (fuel consumption combined: 6.6 – 6.5 l/62 miles; CO2 emissions combined: 150 – 148 g/km according to WLTP; CO2 class: E) has a power output of 150 kW/204 hp, accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.9 seconds, has a maximum torque of 300 Nm (221 lb/ft), and a top speed of 150 mph.

With its iconic round headlights, newly designed front grille and circular LED headlights – availably optionally with three customisable light signatures – the body of the MINI Cooper Convertible remains unmistakable. Characterised by short overhangs and a long wheelbase, the body is given a generous appearance despite its small exterior dimensions of just 3,879 mm in length, 1,431 mm in height and 1,744 mm in width.

The new MINI Cooper Convertible offers a fully automatic soft top roof, and with its extremely quiet drive, the folding roof can be fully opened in just 18 seconds while travelling at up to 19 mph. At the same time, the window bars and side windows are lowered to provide a completely unobstructed view of the surroundings. The roof can also be opened to just 40cm, providing a sunroof, while the full roof closes in just 15 seconds at the touch of a button.

When the soft top is open, the MINI Cooper Convertible has a luggage compartment volume of 160 litres, while when the soft top is closed this expands to 215 litres. To assist with loading, the tailgate opens downwards and the wind deflector behind the driver and passenger seats reduces wind noise and unwanted air turbulence when driving.

Concealed behind the headrests at the rear of the MINI Cooper Convertible, the integrated rollover protection system is activated automatically as soon as the central safety electronics detect a risk of rollover.

The MINI Cooper Convertible is available in three trims: Classic, Exclusive and Sport, with each trim offering a choice of interior and exterior options. Classic trim features a back-trimmed front grille, 16” 4 Square Spoke Alloy wheels on Cooper C or 17” U-Spoke Dark Grey Alloy wheels on Cooper S, Melting Silver exterior body colour and Black/Blue Vescin cloth combination seats and dashboard knit as standard.

Exclusive trim offers a Vibrant Silver front grille and MINI logos on the front and rear of the vehicle, 17” U Spoke Grey Alloy wheels, British Racing Green exterior body colour, Nightshade Blue Vescin seats and a Light Beige/Grey Dash dashboard knit.

Finally, Sport trim offers a performance inspired appearance with a distinctive front and rear design. A high gloss hexagonal patterned front grille surround, front and rear apron, and Black brake callipers with JCW badging are all offered as standard. 18” JCW Lap Spoke 2-Tone Alloy Wheels and Chili Red exterior body colour complete the exterior design.

Inside the cabin, Sport trim offers JCW Black Vescin/cord combination seats, a JCW black/red dashboard knit, partially perforated steering wheel with red accents and a decorative strap in black/red knit and finally shift paddles on the steering wheel, highlighting the performance inspired nature of this trim.

The interior design of the new MINI Cooper Convertible focuses on fewer components, clever design, and high-quality workmanship. Three key elements structure the cockpit: a sporty steering wheel, the central OLED display, and the newly designed toggle switch bar.

The textile surfaces in the cockpit are based on a newly developed knitted material which is made from recycled polyester, while the optional Head-Up Display projects all relevant information into the drivers’ field of vision, resulting in a cleaner, more streamlined dashboard.

The new MINI Cooper Convertible will be built at MINI Plant Oxford, with first deliveries taking place in early 2025. Available in three trim levels, the new MINI Cooper Convertible is priced from £26,200 RRP.
