Introducing the New 2022 Mini Cooper Convertible

What’s fun to drive, comes with styling that can’t be mistaken for anything but a mini, and can be customized to your specifications? It’s the 2022 Mini Cooper Convertible. We love it, and we’d like to share why.

Introducing the New 2022 Mini Cooper Convertible

The Mini is iconic and well-known for its stand-out styling and responsive handling. And while the Cooper is being offered in hard-top styles for 2022, of course, the convertible is really something special.

The convertible top folds down just 18 seconds, and nothing beats opting for the manual transmission and then putting down the top and enjoying that firm suspension on some exciting back roads.

New In 2022

The Cooper this year comes with updates to the grille and bumpers, a brand new and striking wheel design, and some very nice new color options. The new colors are particularly bold, so if you like to make a statement, you’ll be particularly pleased.

New on the inside this year is a new steering wheel design, better air vents than ever, a standard digital gauge display, and a new checkered upholstery option. This year’s Cooper comes with SiriusXM satellite radio, as well, and every model has lane-departure warning standard.

Engines

Standard on the convertible is a 1.5-liter, three-cylinder engine that puts out 143 horsepower of turbocharged speed. The Mini is so light that this much oomph makes it feel like it’s flying.

But if you need even more, an S model will get you a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine with 189 horsepower. Both engines are available in automatic or manual transmission, and they both deliver the responsive handling that Mini Coopers are known for.

Interior Comfort

These are compact vehicles, yet the front seats manage to be very roomy. Heated front seats are an option for those living in cooler climes (or if you like to put down the top when it’s nippy but still stay toasty all over). You can also opt for a leather interior and/or a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

You can easily fit 10-12 carry-on suitcases’ worth of stuff in the back when you lower the rear seats. The 8.8-inch infotainment display is easy to manipulate, and SiriusXM is now a standard option, not an upgrade.

Safety and Tech

This year’s Mini Cooper has standard automated emergency braking and lane departure warnings. You can also choose adaptive cruise control and park assist options if those appeal. And while the car is too new as of this writing to have yet been rated by the NHTSA or the IIHS, the 2021 version (and previous) received high marks.

Warranty and Maintenance

Mini’s warranty is among the best offered by any manufacturer of small cars, and especially because Mini offers complimentary scheduled maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles. The main limited warranty and the powertrain warranty both cover you for 4 years/50,000 miles.

If you’re looking for an icon car that’s fun to drive, safe, and come with the latest features, we can’t recommend the Cooper convertible too highly. Stop by and see one at Tom Bush Mini today!
