After taking the market by storm with the successful introduction of fourth-generation Copper in ICE, the Mini has now added the convertible version of the hatchback to the international market.
It has been reported that the model will be produced in Mini’s historic Oxford factory, making a return of its manufacturing after almost nine years in the UK.
The model has been offered in the Internal Combustion Engine only as yet. It gets a robust 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine, generating a maximum power of 160 bhp. The unit is paired with a dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The company might not offer the model in the manual as it stopped making the same last year.
In terms of looks, the vehicle looks the same as the car it has replaced. However, it has been treated with some latest updates, making it more appealing compared to its predecessor. The company has also made some noticeable changes from the inside, making the car look more premium than before.
From the outside, it gets an oval-shaped LED headlight setup, integrated same-shaped DRLs, and identical grills at the front, featuring Mini’s logo on the bonnet. The bumper also has received some nip and tuck, making it more aesthetic in the segment.
Inside, the cabin gets the same vibe as Mini’s other latest models. A 9.5-inch circular touchscreen infotainment is there at the centre, supported by all wireless car connect technology. It is the same unit that has been seen in Cooper Electric and the Countryman.
In terms of price, the new Mini Cooper Convertible is now available for booking, flaunting a price tag of £26,200, making it £3,000 more expensive than the Cooper hatchback.
