When we think of small city vehicles cruising the narrow streets and the summer breeze blowing our hair, it is Mini Cooper Cabriolet one of the most iconic choices.

Elegant renovation: refined design
The new version of the Mini Cooper Cabriolet retains the characteristic charm of the previous models, but with a noticeable freshness. The front is dominated by the octagonal radiator grille, which provides a sportier look, while the LED headlights with new light signatures provide a modern touch. The cabriolet also says goodbye with an animated greeting when the engine is switched on and off, which adds a touch of futurism.
If you like the wind in your hair, get ready - the soft top is fully automated and opens in just 18 seconds at speeds of up to 30 km/h (18.6 mph). But if you just want to let the sun peek inside, the roof can also be partially opened, which is nice for those fresh morning drives. You can also close it in just 15 seconds.
When it comes to luggage, the Mini Cabrio does not disappoint. With the roof open, you will have 160 liters of space available, but when the roof is closed, this increases to 215 liters. That's enough space for a weekend getaway or a few bags of groceries.
Performance: more than beauty

For those looking for even more adrenaline, the Mini Cooper S with its improved version of the engine offers 201 horsepower (149 kW) and 300 Nm of torque. This means that it accelerates up to 100 km/h in rapids 6.7 seconds, and the maximum speed is 241 km/h (150 mph).
Luxury inside: technology and comfort
The interior of the new Mini Cooper Cabriolet is minimalist and technologically advanced. The central part of the dashboard is a 9.45-inch OLED screen, which will offer the driver all the necessary information, as well as providing entertainment with an intuitive infotainment system. The popular line of touch switches that has become a trademark of the brand also remains.
The seats are available in various color combinations – from gray and black to elegant blue. If you want something truly sporty, the John Cooper Works (JCW) version will offer even more choice, with optional sports seats and contrast stitching to emphasize the sporty character of this little beast.

There are also a number of advanced safety systems available to help prevent accidents, such as lane departure warning, emergency braking and smart cruise control.
