It was in the south of France that the Mini magic happened. At the wheel of the JCW (John Cooper Works) with 231 horsepower, the test drive begins. With a high-performance automatic transmission and a powerful combustion engine (yes, they still exist), this little firecracker unleashes 231 horsepower and does not go unnoticed. Whether in the city or on the picturesque roads of the Luberon, it remains chic in all circumstances. The Mini DNA, omnipresent with its “Go Kart” kit, spoils us with a driving experience that is true to the brand.
Express your style
We know that Mini excels when it comes to customization. Nothing has changed: it adapts perfectly to everyone's preferences with a wide range of choices. The bodywork is available in a range of colors, from classic shades such as Nanuq White to bolder hues such as Chili Red. For those looking for even more extravagance, special colors such as Sunny Side Yellow or Sparkling Cooper Grey (a deep shade exclusive to the Mini Cooper Cabrio) are also available.
The alloy wheels, available in several designs and sizes, are also an important part of the customization process. You can choose 5-spoke wheels for a sporty look, or more elegant models for a more sophisticated appearance. The finishes vary, with options in gloss black, silver, or two-tone, depending on your preference.
The open air in seconds
The canvas roof is designed to be extremely robust. It is also equipped with an active safety system that activates in the event of an impact, providing additional protection without compromising the car's aesthetics. It opens and closes in seconds (18 to be exact) and is also an essential customization feature. In addition to the classic colors, you can opt for contrasting roofs. This new convertible is just waiting to be customized to your liking.

A high-quality interior
The dashboard features the iconic round screen that dominates the dashboard, with a state-of-the-art screen system that integrates navigation, multimedia, and connectivity functions. The seats, in high-quality leather and fabric, offer optimum comfort, whether for a city drive or a getaway on winding roads. This Mini has everything a big car has: there's room for two passengers in the front, with the rear bench seat mainly serving as extra space. Attention to detail is evident throughout, with carefully selected materials ensuring a premium feel while retaining the relaxed look that is the brand's hallmark.
More than connected
The semi-autonomous driving option, which includes driver assistance features such as lane keeping assist, collision detection, and adaptive cruise control, makes every journey safer. The navigation system has been improved with detailed mapping and optimized connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is essential!
A fun and unique integrated toggle bar allows for quick and visually pleasing interaction with your car for a personalized atmosphere. This ultimate pleasure car has plenty more surprises in store, including “Mini Experience modes” that allow you to enjoy a massage while driving and customize the driving experience with ambient lighting and background music. Core, Green, and Go Kart are available to enhance your driving experience.
Price: for the most desirable convertible, you have two choices: either a direct purchase starting at €33,450, or from €420 per month (long-term rental with no down payment).
