2026 MINI Cooper Convertible

The 2026 MINI Cooper Convertible lineup is available in 3 distinctive trims—Cooper Convertible, Cooper S Convertible, and John Cooper Works Convertible—each radiating its own personality while retaining MINI’s signature charm.

The Cooper Convertible sets the tone with LED headlights, a bold hexagonal grille, and 16-inch alloy wheels, giving it a playful yet confident presence. The Cooper S Convertible takes on a sportier stance with 17-inch Tentacle Spoke wheels, a dynamic front fascia, and dual exhaust outlets that emphasize its performance edge. At the top, the John Cooper Works Convertible exudes track-inspired energy with 18-inch Circuit Spoke two-tone wheels, red brake calipers, and an aerodynamic rear diffuser that hints at its racing lineage.

Each trim can be personalized with colors like Zesty Yellow, Rooftop Grey, and Rebel Green, while the electrically powered soft-top—available in black or the MINI Yours Union Jack design—retracts gracefully to reveal the open sky.

The 2026 MINI Cooper Convertible lineup delivers a thrilling range of powertrains, each tuned for a different expression of MINI performance.

Depending on the trim and driving style, fuel economy ranges from approximately 26 mpg city to 37 mpg highway, making every drive as efficient as it is engaging.

Every element of the 2026 MINI Cooper Convertible is engineered for connection and control.
