The 2025 Mini Cooper Convertible boasts a playful design, turbocharged engines, and the quirky Always Open Timer, perfect for sunny, carefree driving.
The Mini Cooper has always exuded charm, and the 2025 Mini Cooper Convertible takes it to the next level. This latest version keeps the spirit of fun alive with its iconic design and playful features. From its round-eyed face to the exhilarating feel of wind whipping through the cabin, the Mini convertible offers a carefree driving experience.
Unapologetically unserious, this car puts fun first, and that’s not a bad thing. The 2025 Mini Cooper Convertible has received a fresh new look, borrowing smooth lines from the recently revealed hardtop Cooper and Cooper S models. Notably, the convertible retains the previous model’s taillights, likely due to trunk space constraints, but its front design brings a playful, almost cartoonish appeal, reminiscent of a cute Pokémon goldfish.
Inside, the cabin features a modern yet minimalist design. A 9.5-inch circular OLED screen sits at the center, paired with a head-up display, keeping the layout clean and true to Mini’s identity. The materials are high-quality, enhancing the feel of this fun-focused car.
Under the hood, U.S. buyers will find two engine options—both 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinders. The standard Cooper model produces 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, while the Cooper S boosts that to 201 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. Both models come with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and the Cooper S can hit 60 mph in just under seven seconds.
One of the more amusing features returning in the 2025 Mini Convertible is the Always Open Timer, which tracks how much time you spend driving with the top down. Originally introduced in 2009, this playful feature adds a touch of whimsy, giving owners bragging rights over their open-air adventures.
The convertible top itself can be fully opened in just 18 seconds, even while driving at speeds of up to 19 mph. It also offers the option to partially open the roof by 15.7 inches, much like a sunroof, for more flexibility.
With electric models now on the rise, this will likely be the final combustion-powered Mini Convertible. If you’ve been waiting for a zippy, turbocharged roadster that captures the essence of joy and freedom, the 2025 Mini Cooper Convertible is your answer.
