Following the positive feedback on the unique prototype presented in 2022, MINI is now going ahead with a small series of the all-electric MINI Cooper SE Convertible which represents another big step in the direction of electric mobility.

“Three years ago we launched the all-electric MINI Cooper SE, and today one in five MINI sold in Europe is an all-electric MINI. This success has spurred us to implement the small series of the MINI Cooper SE Convertible within only a few months. I’m delighted that we can offer 999 MINI customers an extraordinary and exclusive open-air go-kart feeling,” says Stefanie Wurst, Head of the MINI Brand.

When the MINI Cooper SE Convertible prototype debuted in July 2022, the automaker was clear about it being a one-off creation pointing to the brand’s all-electric future. The MINI Cooper has a single 135-kilowatt electric motor that sends power to the front wheels, which Mini says is enough for a sprint to 100 km/h in 8,2 seconds. On a full charge, the Cooper SE Convertible has a WLTP-tested range of 201 kilometres.

The MINI Cooper SE Convertible is available in Enigmatic Black and White Silver. Door handles, side scuttles and the surrounds of the front and rear lights are finished in Resolute Bronze. The MINI logos and the model lettering feature in elegant Piano Black to match. The E logo familiar from the MINI Cooper SE is found on the front apron and the rear, thereby visually underlining locally emission-free driving fun. Further edition-specific equipment details also adorn the door sill trims and side scuttles, with the 1 of 999 letterings emphasising the exclusive character of the limited edition open-air MINI. The new offering also features the 17-inch Electric Power Spoke wheels previously seen on the hardtop model.

Stepping inside, you’ll be greeted with leather heated sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and more Piano Black trim with yellow accents. The MINI also features a Harmon Kardon sound system, wireless phone charging, sat-nav and a rear-view camera. Active cruise control, driver assistance tech and active parking and heads-up display all come as standard.
