The new MINI Cooper Convertible arrives in Cooper C and Cooper S guises with three trim levels and prices starting from £26,200.
Much of what’s on offer in the MINI Convertible matches with the tin-top versions, so the Coper C comes with a 165bhp petrol engine and the more potent Cooper S with 212bhp.
Just like the Coope Hatch, the Cooper Convertible comes in three trim flavours – Classic, Exclusive and Sport – with Classic models sporting black front grille and 16″ alloys (17″ on the Cooper S) with standard silver paint job and black interior trim.
Exclusive models get a silver grille and 17″ alloys, British Racing Green paint job with Blue upholstery and grey dashboard, with Sport trim offering a gloss hexagonal grille, black brake callipers with JCW badging and 18″ JCW alloys, with the interior getting JCW seats, black and red trim highlights and flappy paddles.
The USP of the Convertible is of course the folding roof, which opens in 18 seconds and clsoes in 15 seconds at up to 19mph and can be partially opened for a ‘sunroof’ effect, and an interior which matches the Cooper Hatch complete with heritage-inspired circular OLED infotainment.
