Mini Cooper S Convertible First Batch Sold Out in India Within 24 Hours of Launch

Mini India has announced that the first batch of the Cooper S Convertible has sold out shortly after its launch. The car was introduced in India at a price of Rs 58.50 lakh (ex-showroom) as a completely built unit (CBU). According to the company, all units from the initial allocation were booked within 24 hours of opening orders.

Dealers have now begun accepting pre-orders for the second batch, which is expected to arrive in India in early 2026. Mini has not disclosed the number of units allocated in the first lot.

The Cooper S Convertible is currently the most affordable convertible car on sale in India. Its pricing places it in the Rs 50 lakh to Rs 60 lakh bracket, a segment that has recently seen demand for limited-run and fully imported performance models. Earlier in 2025, models such as the Skoda Octavia RS and Volkswagen Golf GTI also saw quick sell-outs of their initial allocations.

The Mini Cooper S Convertible is powered by a 2.0L, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that churns out 201bhp and 300Nm of torque and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Mini claims that the Copper S Convertible can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 6.9 seconds and has a top speed of 240 kmph.

The car features an electrically operated fabric soft-top roof. The roof can be opened in 18 seconds and closed in 15 seconds, and both operations can be carried out at speeds of up to 30 kmph. A partial opening function, referred to as a sunroof mode, is also available.

On the inside, the Cooper S Convertible features a circular 9.4-inch OLED touchscreen that runs on Mini Operating System 9 and supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Voice commands can be used through the Mini Intelligent Personal Assistant, activated using the “Hey Mini” prompt.

Additional features include a head-up display, powered front seats with a massaging function for the driver, ambient lighting, wireless phone charging and a Harman Kardon audio system. The toggle-style control panel below the touchscreen provides access to key functions such as the gear selector, start-stop system, parking brake and drive modes. Sports seats with electric adjustment are upholstered in Vescin material.
