Mini Cooper S Convertible Details: Mini India has launched the new Cooper S Convertible in India at Rs 58.50 lakh (ex-showroom). With this launch, Mini now offers the most affordable convertible car in the country. Its soft-top fabric roof can open in 18 seconds and close in 15 seconds, even while driving at speeds of up to 30 kmph. The drop-top version of the Cooper S hatchback is the brand’s third new model in three months, after the JCW All4 and Countryman SE All4. The new Cooper S Convertible will be sold as a completely built unit (CBU).
Powering the car is a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that produces 204hp and 300Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The car can sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in just 6.9 seconds and can hit a top speed of 237 kmph. Mini claims a fuel efficiency of 16.82 kmpl for the new convertible.
On the exterior, the convertible stands out with its traditional Union Jack tail-lights, drop-down tailgate that doubles as a seat and can hold up to 80kg of weight, and stylish 18-inch alloy wheels. It also retains the circular LED headlamps, red ‘S’ badging, and octagonal outline for the front grille.
