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

The Mini Cooper S Convertible maintains the classic Mini design elements but features a unique soft-top roof that opens in 18 seconds. It includes signature circular LED headlamps, a newly designed front grille, and distinctive rear lights with Union Jack detailing. The convertible also has a sportier profile with 18-inch alloy wheels and offers a more open driving experience compared to the hardtop variant, which is designed for a closed cabin feel.

Both the Mini Cooper S Convertible and the upcoming Mini Cooper Convertible are powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine, producing around 201 bhp and 300 Nm of torque. However, the Cooper Convertible is expected to have a slightly different performance due to structural reinforcements, which results in a marginally slower acceleration from 0 to 100 kmph in 6.9 seconds compared to the hardtop version, which can achieve similar figures.

The Mini Cooper S Convertible boasts a 9.4-inch OLED touchscreen that runs on Mini Operating System 9, supporting both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also features the Mini Intelligent Personal Assistant, which can be activated with voice commands. Other notable interior technologies include a head-up display, ambient lighting, and a Harman Kardon audio system, enhancing the driving experience with modern connectivity and entertainment options.

The Mini Cooper S Convertible comes equipped with a range of standard safety features, including front passenger airbags, side curtain airbags, brake assist, and dynamic stability control. It also features a rear-view camera, anti-lock braking system, and cornering brake control. These systems work together to enhance driver and passenger safety, providing peace of mind while driving.

The upcoming Mini Cooper Convertible is expected to be priced around Rs 48 to 50 lakh (ex-showroom), making it slightly more affordable than the Mini Cooper S Convertible, which is priced at Rs 58.50 lakh. This positioning reflects Mini's strategy to cater to a broader market segment while offering a convertible option in the Rs 50 lakh to Rs 60 lakh range, which has seen growing demand.
