Mini India has just rolled out the new-generation Mini Cooper Convertible, and it’s turning heads—both with its looks and its price tag. At ₹58.50 lakh (ex-showroom), this isn’t just a fun car; it’s a luxury lifestyle statement.
The convertible arrives in India as a CBU import and bookings are now open nationwide, with deliveries already underway. If you’ve been eyeing a roofless thrill machine with British flair, here’s everything you need to know.
Styling
Let’s start with the design. The new Convertible keeps that classic Mini charm—the round profile, bold grille, and compact stance—but with a fresh twist. At the front, you’ll find newly designed round LED headlamps with multiple lighting signatures. The grille has also been updated for a sportier and sleeker appearance.
Swing around to the back, and you’ll spot vertically aligned LED tail lamps, now embedded in a flush design for a cleaner finish. It’s retro-modern in all the right ways.
Buyers have a choice of four eye-catching exterior colours:
- British Racing Green
- Chili Red
- Sunny Side Yellow
- Ocean Wave Green
You also get black or white mirror caps depending on the contrast you’re after. The car sits on stylish 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels that are not only aesthetic but also aerodynamically efficient.
Roof
One of the biggest talking points, of course, is the convertible roof. It’s an electrically operated soft-top fabric roof that opens in 18 seconds and closes in 15, even while driving up to 30kmph. You can even partially open it to use it as a sunroof on sunny days.
And yes, the boot space takes a slight hit with the roof down. You get 215 litres when the roof is up and 160 litres when it’s folded—still practical enough for a weekend getaway.
Cabin
Inside, Mini has gone minimalist. The cabin gets a massive round OLED centre display that doubles up as the instrument cluster and infotainment system. It runs on BMW’s latest Operating System 9, giving you features like:
- Integrated navigation
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Connected services
- Intelligent Personal Assistant
And it’s not just about tech. You get:
- Harman Kardon premium audio system
- Heads-up display
- Wireless charging
- Digital key functionality
- Toggle bar switches
- Multiple “Experience Modes” to change lighting, graphics, and even sounds in the cabin
The seats? Electric sports seats wrapped in Vescin upholstery, with an active seat function for the driver to improve posture and comfort on longer drives.
Engine
This little beast is powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that puts out 201 bhp and 300 Nm of torque. It’s mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch sport automatic gearbox. That combo helps it sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in just 6.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 240 kmph.
Here’s a quick look at its performance specs:
| Feature | Spec |
|---|---|
| Engine | 2.0L Turbo Petrol |
| Power Output | 201 bhp |
| Torque | 300 Nm |
| Transmission | 7-speed dual-clutch auto |
| 0–100 kmph | 6.9 seconds |
| Top Speed | 240 kmph |
This is clearly not just about looks—it’s got the heart to match its sporty exterior.
Price
At ₹58.50 lakh (ex-showroom), the Mini Convertible costs ₹14.80 lakh more than the standard Cooper S and ₹4.1 lakh more than the JCW (John Cooper Works) trim. That’s a premium, no doubt—but for the kind of exclusivity, open-top driving joy, and tech-packed cabin you get, it’s arguably worth it.
Warranty
Mini offers a two-year unlimited kilometre warranty as standard, along with 24×7 roadside assistance. That’s peace of mind wrapped in a luxury package.
The new Mini Cooper Convertible brings a whole lot of fun, fashion, and performance to the Indian luxury car scene. It’s not just about going roofless—it’s about expressing a lifestyle, turning heads, and enjoying every drive. If you’re in the market for a convertible that’s as smart as it is sassy, the Mini might just be the most playful option out there.
