So, what makes the MINI Convertible the most free-spirited MINI? It starts with its versatile and spritely design. MINI engineers took to the drawing board and created a fun-sized vehicle perfect for joyrides, beach cruises, and backroad adventures. Every detail and feature were carefully selected—soft-top roof, dazzling lighting, and bold colorways included—to make every experience easy and breezy.
The MINI Convertible demands the spotlight. Its exterior oozes star quality. Delivering its first impression is its ocular LED headlights that have cornering functionality and an auto-leveling system, which adjusts the light’s angle to the road. Its eye-like headlights boost its happy-go-lucky personality. The rear of the MINI Convertible is just as eye-catching. Signature Union Jack taillights signify MINI’s English heritage.
And now for the star of the show: the electronically powered soft top. It folds back quietly and smoothly in just 18 seconds! You can flex this feature’s skill at stoplights or while on the move, which is helpful when gray skies replace the warm sunshine. The soft top also has a sunroof mode, allowing you to open it just above the first row.
The MINI Convertible is available in three open-air trim levels:
Each trim level has a unique powertrain, giving you a range of power and motion. Any of these trims can wear timeless or eccentric hues, though. You’ll have up to nine colorways, including classics like Nanuq White, Melting Silver III, or Midnight Black II. Drivers with eccentric flare can choose any of these bold paints:
Whether you choose a sunset hue, a jewel-toned shade, or a grayscale paint, you and your MINI Convertible will be the talk of the town.
The MINI Convertible is fun-sized in more ways than one. Sure, its compact silhouette speaks to this. So do its three available engines that pack a punch. MINI’s engineers were determined to give you a sun cruiser as bold on the outside as under the hood. See what they came up with now!
As mentioned, the MINI Convertible’s three trim levels have different engines, which are:
The MINI Convertible’s power range opens this vehicle to many prospective drivers. Some may crave a gentle daily driver, while others may want to satisfy their need for speed. Regardless of your mojo, the MINI Convertible delivers.
The MINI Convertible comprises other performance parts that contribute to its free-spirited nature. For instance, front-wheel drive is standard on all trims. This reliable and stable drivetrain boosts fuel efficiency and handling.
Speaking of handling, the MINI Convertible is available with three different transmissions, helping you take as much control as you’d like:
Further change the way you drive with available MINI Driving Modes. Will you slip into Sport mode, enjoy gentle Mid mode, or conserve fuel with Green mode?
The MINI Convertible puts the fun in functional. It has premium creature comforts, ample space for four adults and cargo, and built-in convenience. That sounds like the perfect recipe for sun-filled travels and chillier commutes.
All four seats in the MINI Convertible are swathed in Carbon Black leatherette, giving them the look and feel of genuine leather. You and your copilot will have a 6-way manually adjustable seat, and you both can enjoy your preferred temperature with standard heated front seats and dual-zone climate control.
As a convertible, the MINI offers endless headroom when the top is down. However, you and your rear-seat passengers will have near-matching headroom when the soft top is in position. The front row offers 39.8 inches, while the back has 39 inches! You can stretch out with 41.4 inches of legroom when it's just you and your copilot.
Did you pick up a few things on your adventure? You can stow them in the 5.7 cubic-foot trunk or knock down the 50/50 split-folding rear seats for 7.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front row.
Let us introduce you to the MINI Convertible’s infotainment suite. The 8.8-inch touchscreen takes on a circular orientation, serving as an eye-catching and refreshing dashboard detail. It offers Bluetooth® and Apple CarPlay® so you can play your favorite music, podcasts, or audiobooks. If curated radio stations are more your thing, HD Radio® and SiriusXM® Radio come standard!
The free-spirited nature of the MINI Convertible is contagious. MINI knows you’ll want to take this model for joyride after joyride, trip after trip. So, they’ve installed MINI navigation on every model. Follow directions to the nearest coastal lookout or a new restaurant in town. The MINI Convertible is ready to show up top-down and in style.
Ah, the joy of driving. You love the thrill of pushing a gas pedal, feeling the wind whip through your hair as you pick up speed. You appreciate the wow factor that comes with driving such a majestic vehicle as the MINI Convertible or the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Both sun cruisers help you love driving again, but only the MINI doubles down on brawn and space.
