MINI Convertible Overview
The 2020 MINI convertible comes in three different powertrain variants: Cooper, Cooper S and the performance-based John Cooper Works. The Cooper is powered by a twin turbo 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that delivers 134 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. The Cooper S is equipped with twin turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 189 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. Both are paired to a seven-speed double clutch transmission. The JCW has the same 2.0-liter engine but is coupled with an eight-speed automatic and tuned to produce 228 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. Three different trims—Classic, Signature and Iconic—layer on luxury amenities and give access to premium packages. The interior of even the base Classic trim is high quality, but the price tag easily skyrockets with all of the available customization options.
Trim Specifications
The Classic trim comes with 15-inch wheels (16-inch on the Cooper S and 17-inch on the JCW), a 6.5-inch infotainment display, leatherette seats and a leather sport steering wheel. Heated seats costs $500. The Signature trim adds more color choices and larger 16- or 17-inch wheels depending on engine variant. Heated leather sport seats can be added as part of a $2,000 Signature Upholstery package that also upgrades the surfaces and the wheel. Navigation and Apple CarPlay on a larger 8.8-inch touchscreen—the Touchscreen Navigation package—is available for $1,700. The Cooper S Signature model offers dynamic dampening control for $500, which comes standard on the JCW Signature. The Premium package, which adds chrome lines and Harmon-Kardon premium audio, can be added to both the Cooper S and JCW for $2,000 and $1,750, respectively. The Iconic trim has 17-inch wheels (18-inch on the JCW) in a plethora of styles and gets the Signature Upholstery and Premium packages as well as the Touchscreen Navigation package. Eighteen-inch black or grey wheels can be added to any model and costs $2,905 or $2,400, respectively. Exterior detailing such racing stripes, special side mirrors or scuttles costs between $100 and $300. A driver assistance package with adaptive cruise control and parking assist costs $1,000 across the lineup.
