New MINI Cooper Convertible completes new generation MINI family.

Following the successful launch of the all-new MINI family throughout the past year, the new MINI Cooper Convertible completes the brand’s new model family. Offered in a choice of two new petrol models, the MINI Cooper Convertible will be built at MINI Plant Oxford, following a nine-year hiatus. 

“We are very proud to be able to offer our customers a true convertible in the current MINI family. Our new MINI Cooper Convertible offers unmistakable, hallmark driving fun, coupled with boundless freedom and great emotions: Always Open. Iconic design combined with modern technology and connectivity make this vehicle an unrivalled experience for our customers,” says Stefan Richmann, head of the MINI brand.

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.

Available in three trim levels, the new MINI Cooper Convertible is priced from £26,200 RRP, with first deliveries taking place in early 2025..

Fully automatic soft top for spontaneous adventure
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.

Three individual trims
The MINI Cooper Convertible is available in three trims: Classic, Exclusive and Sport, with each trim offering a choice of interior and exterior options.

New MINI Experience Modes
Seven MINI Experience Modes can be selected to change the interior ambience of the MINI Cooper Convertible – even with the top down. To achieve this, two projector units behind the round instrument panel beam illuminated graphics with different patterns and colours onto the dashboard when the top is closed. Changes are made to the colour scheme of the light patterns and to the ambient lighting in the entire interior, depending on the Experience Mode selected.

In Go Kart Mode, the focus is on MINI’s racing DNA with the colours dominated by black and red, whereas Personal Mode offers a personalised interior design with the option to upload a personal photo via the MINI App. Core, Green, Vivid, Timeless and Balance mode are also available on the MINI Cooper Convertible.

The new MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant
A spoken “Hey MINI!” activates the first fully-fledged voice assistant of the brand in the MINI Cooper Convertible. Navigation, telephony, entertainment and numerous vehicle functions can be controlled simply and conveniently by speaking the relevant command to either a stylised MINI or the character ‘Spike’. 

The MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant learns continuously through dialogue and can take on day-to-day tasks on repeated routes.

Digital Services
The innovative MINI Digital Key Plus function enables customers to use their smartphones as a car key via the MINI app. The welcome animation of the front and rear lights begins as soon as the driver is less than three metres away while the doors are unlocked when the driver is less than one and a half metres away.

This convenient feature can be digitally transferred to different users, including their personal vehicle settings.
