Three Driving Modes

Every Convertible blends refinement and a firm, European road feel from the moment you start the engine. But with our standard adjustable Driving Mode system, you can direct the technically sophisticated drivetrain to match your Motoring mood. Sport Mode will tighten your steering and adjust the throttle profile for a more aggressive, thrilling drive. For more fuel-efficient motoring, switch to Green Mode with optimized fuel delivery, tweaked shift points and a coasting feature that disengages an automatic transmission when your foot’s off the gas.

Dynamic Stability Control

The Dynamic Stability Control system uses sensors to measure the steering angle, yaw and lateral acceleration to determine the direction you want to go. Then, if your MINI starts to stray, the DSC system kicks in by applying corrective brake pressure to individual wheels and adjusting engine torque.

Six-Speed Automatic

The Convertible’s transmission offers especially smooth and precise shifting, while the Cooper S' optional Steptronic allows you to choose between the convenience of automatic and the thrill of manual shifting. Cooper S and John Cooper Works models are also available with optional steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters that let you maximize performance with a fluid flick of your finger.

MINI Connected

MINI Connected comes standard in the Convertible and features a high-resolution 6.5” or optional 8.8” display, that’s designed to seamlessly integrate your technology into your MINI – from popular apps like Spotify® & Pandora®, to hardware like GoPro®, and more.^{^} Plus, it powers our own innovative tech, like Journey Mate, the ultimate trip-planner app that can coordinate your entire drive, integrating real-time traffic, weather, gas mileage, and even your calendar appointments. It will even alert you to gas stations when you need them and can help find parking in unfamiliar areas. (Note: Journey Mate only available on MINI models equipped with optional MINI Connected + Visual Boost XL and Navigation System.)

Rain Warner

The sky is a fine indicator of weather conditions overhead. But Rain Warner will let you know when there’s rain up ahead.* And if you parked with the top down, Rain Warner will bring up a notification on your smartphone if rain is headed your way.

*Please note that this feature requires your trip is planned using Journey Mate. That’s the only way Rain Warner can tell where you’re heading and send alerts accordingly.

Optional Adaptive Cruise Control

With precise engine and braking control, our Adaptive Cruise Control helps your MINI maintain a consistent speed. Adaptive Cruise Control will even use video to monitor and automatically adjust speed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Of course, if you want to make any adjustments, just use your steering wheel controls to speed up or slow down.

6 Dual-Stage Airbags

By monitoring impact severity and adjusting inflation rates accordingly, our airbag system will cushion you with as much force as needed. And in extreme cases, they’ll stay inflated longer to keep you safe from shattered glass.

Corner Brake Control

If a driver of a MINI brakes while cornering at speed or changing lanes, Corner Brake Control (CBC) will help improve the vehicle's stability. By optimizing the braking effects being applied to each wheel and evening out the braking pressure from side-to-side, this system helps Motorers maintain control at critical times on the road.

Ultra-Rigid Body

The rigid body of every MINI Convertible reduces body torque, freeing the suspension to do what it does best: provide super-tight handling. A flex-free frame also reduces squeaks, rattles, vibrations and cabin noise.

3-in-1 Roof

Our fully-electric soft top is quiet, smooth, and opens in 18 seconds flat. And in sunroof mode, slides back to allow up to 16 inches of sunlight to pour on in. The roof also features a heated glass rear window, for good measure.
