The Mini Cooper goes roofless, with the Mini Cooper Convertible S launched at Rs 58.50 lakh (ex-showroom). It is offered in a single variant, single-engine option and a mix of multiple colour options for exterior and interior. If you’re interested in road-tripping in this cool-looking Mini Convertible, here are things you need to know:
Design – Looks Wanderlust!
-
The new Mini Cooper Convertible S gets a signature front look following the Mini-specific silhouette. It has an octagonal grille with an ‘S’ badge and round LED headlamps for the classic Mini vibe. The headlights have three light signatures.
-
From the side, the Mini still keeps its trademark compact shape, but the new 18-inch alloy wheels, thin cladding and fewer chrome bits make it look more modern.
-
The rear gets new Union Jack-style tail-lamps, as typical of the nameplate and a chunky bumper, all of which give it a character.
| Note: The black fabric soft-top roof opens in 18 seconds and closes in 15 seconds, under speeds of 30 kmph. It also has a sunroof mode and one-touch operation. |
Colour Options – Quite Some Bling
The Mini Cooper Convertible is offered in four exterior body paints:
-
British Racing Green
-
Ocean Wave Green
-
Chilli Red
-
Sunny Side Yellow
| Note: All colour options, except ‘Ocean Wave Green’, are offered with black mirrors and Nightshade blue upholstery. The Ocean Wave Green gets white mirrors and Beige upholstery. |
Interior – The Mini Minimalist
-
The cabin looks very modern and minimalist, with two different upholstery colour options: blue and beige. The dashboard is finished in a beige/grey theme.
-
The 9.4-inch circular touchscreen in the centre is the main highlight, acting as the hub for media, navigation and car settings while giving the interior that classic Mini identity.
-
The sport seats look well-bolstered and are comfortable. It also makes the cabin feel more upmarket.
-
The use of soft-touch panels, neat stitching and playful design elements gives the interior a fun yet premium vibe that matches the car’s quirky personality.
| Interesting fact: You can use the Mini Personal Assistant by saying ‘Hey Mini’ and then use voice commands to control things like navigation, calls, music and other functions. |
