Mini has introduced the new Cooper S Convertible in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 58.50 Lacs. With this, it becomes the most affordable convertible car currently on sale in the country. The car is a drop top version of the Cooper S hatchback and comes to India as a completely built unit.
This is Mini India’s third launch in the last three months, after JCW All4 and Countryman SE All4. Bookings are now open and deliveries have already started.
The Cooper S Convertible is for those who want open-top driving but don’t want a big, impractical luxury car.
What is special about the Cooper S Convertible
The biggest highlight of the car is its soft top fabric roof.
- Fully opens in 18 seconds
- Closes in 15 seconds
- Can be operated at a speed of 30 km/h
- Also provides partial “sunroof mode” for light open air driving
With the roof raised, boot space stands at 215 litres. When the roof is folded down this reduces to 160 litres. While not generous, it is useable for city runs and short weekend trips.

The new Cooper S Convertible is loyal to the classic Mini appearance.
- DRL rings, circular LED headlights
- Octagonal outline of grille with body coloured trim
- Red ‘S’ badging for sporty touch
- Union Jack-style tail lamps

A unique detail is the drop-down tailgate, which is capable of supporting up to 80kg and doubles up as a temporary seat.
