- 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,
