The MINI Convertible has won Best Convertible at the annual Carbuyer Best Car Awards 2020, marking its third consecutive win in this category.
Proving itself against its nominated class rivals, the MINI
Convertible impressed against judging criteria including running and
ownership costs, driver appeal, comfort, practicality and safety.
James Batchelor, Editor-at-large and Head of Motoring Video
said: "The MINI Convertible is a top-seller because it serves up
feel-good fun, low running costs and a stylish interior for an
affordable price. It's proof you can enjoy the convertible lifestyle
on a supermini budget."
Since this generation came onto market in 2016, the MINI
Convertible has outsold its rivals every year. With a total of over
24,000 delivered to customers so far, it is the UK’s best-selling convertible.
David George, Director, MINI UK said, “Winning Carbuyer’s Best
Convertible for the third year in a row is an incredible
accomplishment. The MINI Convertible is special because of its
trademark go-kart handling, but with added open-air fun in a MINI
package, and this award is really testament to that.”
Its iconic design and clever interior packaging is matched with
lots of high-level standard equipment including a 6.5” infotainment
screen, Bluetooth functionality with USB audio, Rear Park Distance
Control (PDC), LED mood lighting and fully electric roof.
On the road pricing begins from £20,085 for the MINI Cooper
Convertible Classic.
