The exterior design of the all-new MINI Convertible focuses on classic MINI characteristics. The front end shows the typical face of the brand with its iconic round headlights and the newly designed front grille. Standard LED headlights have three light signatures to emphasise the car's character. A specially orchestrated welcome and goodbye animation with MINI logo projections on the sides enhances the emotional connection even before you get in. On the side, the clean sporty lines create a striking contrast along with the short overhangs and long proportions. To match the unmistakable driving fun, this MINI is available with aerodynamically optimized 18-inch wheels with a choice of Slide Spoke 2-tone and Flash Spoke 2-tone alloys. The rear view is characterised by the flush design of the vertically aligned LED rear lights. The rear section is divided by a black handle strip with striking model badge, whose horizontal alignment emphasises the MINI Convertible's wide stance.
