Exterior Design of the New Mini Cooper S Convertible
Round headlights with daytime running lights (DRL), standard 18-inch alloy wheels. With its folding roof, this two-door convertible differs from the Cooper S, which has more traditional Union Jack taillights and a liftgate with a payload capacity of up to 80 kg, making it a temporary seat. However, both models feature round headlights with daytime running lights (DRL), a red “S” badge, an octagonal grille surround, and air deflectors, which are interrupted by body-color trim and plastic cladding all around. Mini offers 18-inch alloy wheels as standard on the new convertible.

Interior and Features of the New Mini Cooper S Convertible
Driver’s Seat with Massage Function, Harman Kardon Sound System. Apart from the new black and beige color scheme of the dashboard, everything else is familiar. Features like the 9.4-inch round OLED touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, power-adjustable front seats with massage function for the driver, a head-up display, a Harman Kardon sound system, a wireless charger, ambient lighting projection on the dashboard, and a rearview camera remain unchanged.
The power soft top opens and closes in 18 and 15 seconds, respectively, at speeds up to 30 km/h. Mini has also brought back “sunroof mode,” which allows the soft top to slide slightly backward. Trunk capacity is 215 liters, which expands to 160 liters with the roof down.

2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with 204 hp. Under the hood is a 2-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine producing 204 hp and 300 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels; a manual transmission is not available.
