2025 Mini Cooper convertible rounds out redesigned Cooper lineup

The 2025 Mini Cooper convertible made its public debut Tuesday, rounding out the fourth-generation lineup of the modern Mini.

Like the two-door and four-door hatchback models shown earlier in the year, the redesigned Mini convertible will reach the U.S. in base Cooper and sportier Cooper S guises. A John Cooper Works (JCW) variant will arrive after launch, while Europe gets a Cooper C grade slotting below the Cooper.

U.S.-market powertrains are also shared with the hatchback models. The Mini Cooper convertible has a 2.0-liter turbo-4 producing 161 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, getting it from 0-60 mph in a Mini-estimated 7.9 seconds. The Cooper S convertible has a more powerful version of the turbo-4, rated at 201 hp and 221 lb-ft, with a 6.7-second 0-60 mph time.

While the two-door Cooper hatch will be available as an EV, Mini hasn’t given any indication that the new convertible will be offered with an electric powertrain. The automaker did that with a limited run of the outgoing convertible, building 999 Cooper SE convertibles for Europe.

The redesigned convertible has a power soft top that can be opened in 18 seconds at speeds up to 18.6 mph, and closed in 15 seconds. A sunroof function creates 15.7 inches of space for the sun to shine in, and is available at any speed. The convertible has 5.6 cubic feet of cargo space with the top stowed. That grows to 7.5 cubic feet with the roof up.

Exterior styling and interior layout are otherwise the same as 2025 Mini Cooper hatchback models, with the same interface and round 9.5-inch OLED display inside. For the U.S., Mini is also trying to help customers narrow down the number of aesthetic options with Classic Style and Favoured Style trim packages.

The Cooper and Cooper S convertibles are expected to reach U.S. dealerships in January with base prices of $34,945 and $38,195, respectively (both prices include a mandatory $995 destination charge). The JCW convertible, which has already been caught testing, will arrive at a later date.
