Mini Convertible Pre-Bookings Begin In India Ahead of December Launch

Mini Convertible pre-bookings have officially started in India and interested buyers can reserve the upcoming model online or by visiting any Mini dealership in the country. This early booking window comes ahead of its confirmed December 2025 launch

The new Convertible is based on the latest Cooper S hatchback but stands apart with its foldable soft-top roof. Mini has not revealed the booking amount yet, but the brand has confirmed that reservations are open across all ten authorized Mini outlets in India

Electrically Operated Roof: Key Highlight

The main upgrade on this model is the electric soft-top roof

Here’s what it offers:

• Opens or closes in just 18 seconds
• Can be operated at speeds up to 30 km/h
• Designed for smooth use even while driving at low speeds
• Soft fabric roof for a classic open-air feel

The roof makes the Convertible an appealing option for buyers who enjoy open-top driving without waiting for a full stop

Exterior Design

The Convertible keeps the familiar Mini shape but adds a few design elements to match the open-top body style

Key exterior details

• Circular LED headlights with round DRLs
• Octagonal front grille with blacked-out accents and the signature “S” mark
• 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels
• Black body cladding along the sides and wheel arches
• Oblong LED tail-lamps with Union Jack styling
• Two tone rear bumper design

The Convertible shares its basic proportions with the hardtop model, but the soft-top roof changes the overall character by giving it a more relaxed and stylish look

Interior Design

Inside, the cabin layout follows the design of the new Cooper S hatchback

Interior features

• Circular theme on controls and instruments
• Pill-shaped air vents
• Eco-friendly dashboard materials
• Customizable interior trims
• 9.4-inch Android-based OLED touchscreen
• Screen doubles as the digital instrument cluster
• Head-up display for important driving info

The cabin keeps things simple but premium and continues Mini’s design identity through rounded elements and soft accents

Expected Feature List

Mini is likely to offer the Convertible with most of the features seen on the latest hardtop

Possible feature highlights:

1. Powered front seats
2. Harman Kardon audio system
3. Ambient lighting
4. Wireless phone charging
5. Automatic climate control
6. Rearview camera
7. Cruise control

These features make the car suitable for daily use while still focusing on the open-top experience

Engine And Gearbox

The new Mini Convertible will carry the same powertrain that the hardtop Cooper S uses

Powertrain Details

• 2.0 liter, four cylinder turbo petrol engine
• 204 hp power output
• 300 Nm peak torque
• Paired with a 7 speed dual clutch automatic gearbox

The Convertible does a 0–100 km/h run in 6.9 seconds which is a bit slower than the hardtop. This is due to additional structural strengthening required for a convertible body style

Market Position And Expected Details At Launch

The MINI Convertible is set to enter the premium compact convertible space in India. This segment is limited, making the model a unique choice for those looking for a stylish, small sized car with open-top driving ability. It is aimed at buyers who want something different from a regular hatchback or sedan

MINI has not yet disclosed the price or full variant list. These details will be revealed closer to the December 2025 launch. The brand will also share complete specifications and available customisation packages at the time of the official announcement
