01 · Core summary

Core summary

F67 MINI Cooper Convertible, October 2024 European launch reference. Source-based specification and buying analysis.

The decision is whether roof-down driving justifies the packaging compromise. Test your usual bags with the roof stowed before letting paint, wheels or a showroom roof demonstration decide the purchase.

02 · History & generations

History & generations

This guide covers the generation announced in October 2024, not the 2004 R52. Production returns to Oxford for this four-seat convertible.

03 · Body, platform & design

Body, platform & design

The fabric roof opens in a claimed 18 seconds and closes in 15. Opening is permitted up to 30 km/h; a partial sunroof mode is also offered.

04 · Engine & drivetrain

Engine & drivetrain

The launch Cooper C has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol engine producing 120 kW and 250 Nm. The Cooper S is a separate, higher-output derivative.

05 · Trim differences

Trim differences

Keep the engine derivative separate from a styling trim. A JCW-inspired appearance package is not evidence that the car has the full John Cooper Works powertrain.

06 · Interior & seating

Interior & seating

Quoted boot capacity is 215 liters with the roof closed and 160 with it open. The central OLED screen measures 240 mm in diameter.

07 · Efficiency & range

Efficiency & range

Ask for the local rating for the exact C or S derivative and wheel specification. A consumption figure from an older three-cylinder convertible is not a substitute for this car's data.

08 · Safety & equipment

Safety & equipment

Rollover protection behind the rear headrests activates when the safety electronics detect rollover risk.

09 · Strengths

Strengths

Its strongest case is a compact open-top car used mainly by one or two people, with the rear seats providing occasional flexibility. Four seats do not remove the luggage compromise.

10 · Considerations

Considerations

In the actual car, test screen readability in sunlight and rehearse demisting and navigation controls. Roof-up noise, visibility and wet-weather access deserve as much attention as the roof-down demonstration.

11 · Recommended use

Recommended use

Pack for a weekend with the roof open, then repeat with it closed. Rear passengers should try entry and sitting behind the intended front occupants rather than relying on the seat count.

12 · Rivals & related

Rivals & related

Compare C and S using the complete quotation and your normal use. An older F57 may cost less, but its controls and engine specification require a separate assessment rather than a badge-only comparison.

13 · FAQ

FAQ

Is this an independently road-tested review? No. Roof timings, dimensions and output are manufacturer references; the practical checks above are buying advice, not claims of a conducted test.
