The new Mini Cooper Convertible – technically a revised version of the previous third-generation model – will land here in 2025 with a choice of three different powertrains and seven versions in total.
The new drop-top range is due here during the second quarter of 2025, with pricing ranging from $51,990 before on-roads for the base Cooper C Classic and spanning to $67,990 for the John Cooper Works Favoured.
All versions pack a petrol engine under the bonnet, with Mini not yet launching a convertible version of its new-generation Cooper EV.

Convertibles are equipped with an automatic folding fabric roof that fully retracts in 18 seconds.
The roof mechanism can be operated at speeds of up to 30km/h.
In addition to its open and closed positions, the soft top can also function like a sunroof, partially opening to limit exposure to the elements.
The woven fabric soft top is available in black with the option of a grey Union Jack, a not-so-subtle nod to the brand’s British origins.
Surprisingly, Mini claims the convertible Cooper offers superior boot space to the hatch – 215L vs 210L – although cargo capacity drops to 160L when the car is driven top down.
