  • MINI Convertible wins ‘Best Convertible 2018’ at the Carbuyer Best Car Awards.
  • Judges praise unique character, handling, interior and infotainment features.


The UK’s top selling convertible has today received the ‘Best Convertible 2018’ award judged by industry experts at Carbuyer. The award was presented to MINI this morning at the Carbuyer Best Car Awards in London, with judges praising the car’s unique character, trademark handling, interior and value for money.

Winners in each category at the annual Carbuyer Awards are chosen by members of the dedicated Carbuyer road-test team, who evaluate each vehicle on running costs, comfort, practicality, reliability and safety, as well as performance, efficiency, price, value for money and optional extras.

Speaking at the awards, Stuart Milne, Editor, Carbuyer said: “Convertibles are all about putting a smile on your face and none are quite as capable as the MINI Convertible. It retains all that’s great about the MINI Hatch, including its trademark go-kart handling, but adds that all-important open-top fun factor. Whatever engine is under the bonnet, the MINI Convertible oozes character. It boast a great interior, a superb infotainment system and countless customisation options too. And that’s why it’s our Best Convertible for 2018.”

The MINI Convertible features a striking design and unique features to make open-topped driving even more dynamic, stylish and practical. The fully electric roof deploys in just 18 seconds and it remains the only premium soft-top four-seater convertible in the small car segment. The UK continues to be the largest market worldwide for the MINI Convertible, and it is the best-selling convertible in the country.

The MINI Convertible is offered with a high level of standard equipment across the range, which includes MINI Visual Boost Radio with a 6.5-inch infotainment screen, MINI Connected, Bluetooth connectivity with USB audio, Rear Parking Distance Control and a Reversing Camera. Smart design and interior packaging means luggage volume is 215 litres with the roof closed and 160 litres with it folded down.

On the road pricing starts from £19,265 for the MINI Cooper Convertible. For further information on the MINI Convertible range, please visit www.mini.co.uk/convertible.

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. The CO2 emissions labels are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Passenger Car (Fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001, as amended. They are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle.

A guide on fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. For further information you can also visit this link.
