Steve Fowler, Editor Auto Express said “"It’s yet another win for the MINI in our Convertible of the Year award, showing the car’s longevity and that, despite new rivals emerging, the British brand’s cabriolet has plenty of personality. Regardless of trim or engine, it’s superb fun and packed with tech. It's all backed up by real substance at a price that’s hard to ignore."
Since this generation came onto market in 2016, the MINI
Convertible has outsold its rivals every year. With a total of nearly
27,000 delivered to customers so far, it is the UK’s best-selling convertible.
David George, Director MINI UK said “Winning this Auto Express
award again is testament to the ongoing success of the MINI
Convertible. We’re really proud that the car continues to bring a
smile to our customers’ faces with its trademark go-kart handling and
open-air fun.”
Priced from £20,630 (OTR) the car has a cleverly packaged
interior matched with high-level equipment as standard including a
6.5” infotainment screen, Bluetooth functionality with USB audio, Rear
Park Distance Control (PDC) and LED mood lighting. The fully electric
roof also opens and closes in just 18 seconds.
