New MINI Cooper Convertible to arrive in early 2025 with two engine options, three trims, and a starting price of €36,730.
MINI has unveiled the latest addition to its lineup, the all-new MINI Cooper Convertible, which will complete its next-generation family. Scheduled for release in early 2025, this model will be offered in two engine variants and three trim levels, featuring a new Copper Grey exterior that adds a fresh look to the classic MINI design. Production will start later this year at MINI’s Oxford plant, marking the return of the convertible model after a nine-year break.
The new MINI Cooper Convertible will be powered by two advanced petrol engines. The MINI Cooper Convertible C delivers a respectable 163 hp with 250 Nm of torque, allowing it to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.2 seconds, reaching a top speed of 220 km/h. For those seeking more performance, the MINI Cooper Convertible S comes with a 204 hp engine, producing 300 Nm of torque. This model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.9 seconds, with a top speed of 236 km/h. Both versions promise the fun driving experience that MINI is known for.
The exterior of the MINI Cooper Convertible keeps the brand’s signature compact size with a few modern upgrades. It features round LED headlights and a redesigned front grille, providing a refreshed yet familiar look. The body remains compact, measuring just under 3.9 meters in length. The soft-top roof is fully automatic, opening in just 18 seconds at speeds up to 30 km/h, offering drivers the flexibility of an open-top ride at a moment’s notice. For those preferring partial shade, the roof can open halfway, functioning as a sunroof.
Inside, the new MINI Cooper Convertible continues the brand's focus on simple yet functional design. The cabin is built with high-quality materials, featuring a sporty steering wheel and a central OLED display. The 9.5-inch screen offers touch controls and clear navigation of media, climate, and vehicle settings, providing an intuitive experience for drivers. A range of experience modes allows for personalized lighting and design themes in the cabin, adapting to different moods.
The cabin also includes a toggle switch bar that simplifies controls for key functions, like parking brake, start/stop button, and volume, helping keep the interior clean and functional.
The MINI Cooper Convertible comes in three different trims: Classic, Exclusive, and Sport. Each offers its own set of options for interior and exterior customization.
Classic Trim: Features black grille, 16” alloy wheels (17” on Cooper S), and a standard Melting Silver exterior with Blue Vescin fabric seats.
Exclusive Trim: Adds Vibrant Silver accents, British Racing Green body color, and Nightshade Blue seats for a more premium look.
Sport Trim: The performance-focused trim includes a high-gloss front grille, 18” JCW alloy wheels, and Chili Red exterior, with sporty red and black details in the cabin.
Designed for spontaneous adventures, the MINI Cooper Convertible has a luggage capacity of 215 liters when the roof is up, and 160 liters when open. The rear tailgate opens downwards, making it easy to load items, while the wind deflector behind the seats ensures a comfortable ride even with the top down.
The new MINI also introduces the MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant, allowing drivers to control key functions through voice commands. Activated by saying “Hey MINI,” the assistant can manage navigation, entertainment, and other tasks. Additionally, the MINI Digital Key Plus allows users to unlock and start the car with a smartphone, adding convenience to the overall experience.
The all-new MINI Cooper Convertible promises to deliver the thrill of open-top driving combined with the latest technology and classic MINI charm. Available in multiple trims and powered by two capable engines, it’s designed to suit a wide range of driving styles and preferences. With its return to the lineup in 2025, MINI is ready to offer drivers a fun, dynamic, and unique convertible option once again.
