All-New Topless 2016 Mini Convertible

2016 Mini Convertible

 The latest MINI generation will now also delight fresh air enthusiasts among fans of the tradition-steeped British brand. It takes just 18 seconds to combine the further enhanced driving fun of a MINI with an intensive open-air feeling. For this purpose, the new MINI Convertible is fitted for the first time with a fully automatic, fully electrically powered and therefore particularly quiet soft top operation system as well as a rollover protection that is now fully integrated. Meanwhile the new generation of engines, suspension technology that is matched specifically to the model and a highly torsionally stiff body structure ensure a significant increase in both sporty flair and characteristic brand agility. In addition, the new MINI Convertible presents noticeable progress in the areas of ride comfort, space and functionality as well as material and workmanship quality, not to mention a large selection of innovative driver assistance systems. The car's evolutionary design advancements strike a harmonious balance between elegance and sporty flair, expressing a distinctive character in both the exterior and interior that has matured markedly as compared to the predecessor model.

The new edition of the first and still the only convertible in the premium small car segment embodies the most exclusive and emotionally intensive way of savouring authentic MINI driving fun. The upright windscreen of the new MINI Convertible guarantees a refreshing open-top driving experience on all four seats.

 The fully automatic soft top can be activated spontaneously at the press of a button. It can even be opened and closed during travel at speeds of up to 30 km/h, while the sliding roof function is available at any speed. There is the option of a MINI Yours soft top featuring an innovative woven Union Jack graphic, available for a convertible for the first time. Other optional extras include the Always Open Timer with additional new display content, the MINI Connected App including rain warning function, the 2-zone automatic air conditioning with convertible mode and a wind deflector with reduced weight and optimised handling.

Two petrol engines and one diesel power unit MINI TwinPower Turbo Technology are available at the market launch of the new MINI Convertible (combined fuel consumption: 6.0-3.8 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 139-100 g/km). The MINI Cooper S Convertible is powered by a 4-cylinder petrol engine with 141 kW/192 hp. The 3-cylinder petrol engine of the MINI Cooper Convertible has an output of 100 kW/136 hp. The MINI Cooper D Convertible is fitted with a 3-cylinder diesel engine that delivers 85 kW/116 hp. Both the standard 6-speed manual transmissions and the optionally available 6-speed Steptronic transmissions have been newly developed for the latest MINI generation.
