Munich. Waves rolling gently onto the beach and the endless horizon in view – a day at the seaside offers refreshingly expansive perspectives and a feeling of freedom. In line with this, the MINI Convertible in the Seaside Edition celebrates 30 years of individual style and maximum fresh-air driving fun. To mark the anniversary of the open-top four-seater, MINI now presents the sporty classic with exclusive equipment and design features – optionally in a shimmering blue Caribbean Aqua paint finish or in the light Nanuq White bodycolor. The Seaside Edition of the MINI Convertible is available as the Cooper (combined fuel consumption: 6.4 – 5.9 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 145 – 135 g/km according to WLTP) and the Cooper S (combined fuel consumption: 6.9 – 6.5 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 157 – 148 g/km according to WLTP).
Currently the world’s only premium convertible in the small car segment and with an impressively distinctive look in traditional brand style, the MINI Convertible embodies individual open-air driving pleasure. In the MINI Cooper S, a 2.0-litre, 131 kW/178 hp 4-cylinder power unit with MINI TwinPower Turbo Technology enables acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds. The MINI Cooper also provides typical MINI go-kart feeling, featuring a 3-cylinder petrol engine with an output of 100 kW/136 hp. The black, electrically operated soft top takes things at a more leisurely pace: it can be opened or closed automatically up to 30 km/h.
From February 2023, the limited Seaside Edition of the MINI
Convertible will accentuate this stylish model’s hallmark features
with an edition-specific design in the exterior and interior. Double
decorative stripes in white run from the side doors to the rear of the
vehicle, and the exclusive exterior design is rounded off with a
unique graphic on the front apron, where a stylised 30 once again
refers to the model’s anniversary.
This contrasts elegantly with
the maritime-inspired paint finish Caribbean Aqua, emphasising the
sporty character of the open-top four-seater. In the Nanuq White
finish, the consistently light-coloured bodywork has a particularly
elegant appeal: here the MINI Convertible is reminiscent of spotted
clouds against a deep-blue summer sky.
The side scuttles with the edition’s discreet “Seaside”
lettering pick up on the 30th model anniversary with graphically
designed numerals in light and dark blue. The round birthday is also
celebrated with exclusive “Seaside” lettering in sporty orange on the
rear. Meanwhile the 18-inch alloy wheels in Pulse Spoke design are
reminiscent of pulsating waves in the water. By contrast, the specific
wheel caps stand still: here, the number of the anniversary appears
once more. A weight behind them ensures a perfect appearance at all times.
Even as you enter the vehicle, the trim strips on the vehicle doors in edition design with two white stripes and Seaside lettering convey the exclusive aura of the interior. The Carbon Black leather seats with comfortable knee rolls and armrests in the doors offer comfort as well as harmonising perfectly with the two exterior finishes Caribbean Aqua and Nanuq White when the soft top is open.
The decorative trim strips on the front dashboards also appear in edition-specific design: both the printed pattern and the lettering bring the round anniversary to mind once again. This pattern also appears on the floor mats in the form of a graphic badge. The lower spoke of the sports leather steering wheel features the eponymous “Seaside” lettering of the new MINI Edition. The vehicle key featuring the edition-specific graphic wave pattern in iridescent blue tones picks up on both the open atmosphere and the pure elegance of the sea, enabling the owner to take a piece of this exclusive edition home with them. The integrated “Seaside” lettering underlines the model’s unique flair – definitely ruling out any potential key mix-ups.
For the driver, the latest generation of the MINI operating system optimises quick and intuitive control of the vehicle functions, audio programme, communication, navigation and apps, while newly compiled equipment packages enable specific individual preferences to be fulfilled in terms of driver assistance and connectivity.
