Compared to its predecessor, the new Mini Cabrio has grown a bit, and with it, our appetites for the summer of 2016 have also grown. It maintains the driving sensations of a go-kart and the multi-layered canvas roof that folds or erects in a mere 18 seconds, but the new Mini Cabrio has made both visual and substantive leap forward. There is a never-before-seen package of LED headlights, improved digital communication with the surroundings, more space on the seats and in the trunk... It will roll into showrooms in March 2016.
The bottom line Mini Cabrio it is driving with the roof open, so Mini has done us a disservice when he has his new little one Mini Convertible presented at a time when we have to wrap ourselves in more and more layers of clothing, while he himself swears by riding without the top.

It will be available with three engines, namely as a three-cylinder petrol engine with 136 hp (100 kW), as a four-cylinder petrol engine with 192 hp (141 kW) and as a three-cylinder diesel engine with 116 hp (85 kW).
