The iconic Mini Cooper Convertible, known for its blend of premium style and fun open-air driving, has officially opened bookings in India ahead of its much-anticipated December 2025 debut. Enthusiasts can now reserve their spot through authorised Mini showrooms and online via Mini’s official website, marking the arrival of a perfect convertible for the urban and lifestyle-conscious Indian audience.
Classic Style Meets Modern Technology
Derived from the popular Cooper S hatchback, the convertible version carries over the sporty and dynamic design while adding the charm of an electrically operated soft-top roof. This roof can be opened or closed in just 18 seconds, operable at speeds up to 30 km/h, making it perfect for a spontaneous drive under the sky.
- Circular LED headlamps with matching daytime running lights add to its signature Mini look
- Octagonal black grille with ‘S’ badging and bold air dams enhance the sporty front fascia
- 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and rugged black cladding contribute to a stylish, tough stance
Heart of the Convertible: Powertrain
The Mini Cooper Convertible shares the tried-and-tested 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with the hardtop Cooper S. It produces a beefy 204 hp and 300 Nm of torque, paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox for smooth, responsive performance. The convertible’s 0-100 km/h sprint time is 6.9 seconds, slightly slower than the hatchback because of additional body reinforcement for chassis strength.
Interior: Premium and Tech-Forward
Inside, the Mini Convertible carries a dual-tone minimalist aesthetic featuring the iconic circular design theme. Key highlights include:
- A 9.4-inch Android-based OLED touchscreen which doubles as the digital instrument cluster
- Sustainable dashboard materials and customizable interior themes for a personalized feel
- Powered front seats, Harman Kardon premium audio system, ambient lighting, climate control
- Wireless charging pad, rearview camera, cruise control, and a head-up display for modern connectivity and safety
Booking and Pricing Insight
While the official launch is set for December 2025, the expected price is estimated around Rs 50 lakh, partly due to the high import duties on Completely Built Units (CBUs). This positions the convertible as a premium lifestyle vehicle in the Indian market, targeting customers who seek style, performance, and luxury.
