The Span MINI convertible is an athletic performance drop-top variant of the windy MINI open body units, the Mini Cooper Convertible S, which Indian customers have been able to purchase as of December 12, 2021. Since the unit is a fully built unit (CFU), the MINI Cooper S convertible is able to satisfy the upper echelons of the small car, luxury premium, and compact car ownership segments.
Like the rest of the MINI family, the car is an over-4-international-generation design. However, in the open air convertible, MINI makes a specially tailored design to enhance the vehicle’s sporty character. And while the car can surely enhance the purchaser’s lifestyle character, it is clearly not intended as the family vehicle.
Pricing and Availability in India
As of December 2021, the vehicle is only available to the Indian consumers without the MINI off-road S drop top in one variant, fully booked, at costs starting at 58.50 (ex sitting car) Indian memorial deities. And since Cooper S Drop TOP is not of Indian origin, interstate tariffs and registration costs (road price) impact purchase decisions.
The on-road cost in Delhi is approximately ₹65–67 lakh. It is somewhat higher in Mumbai, at about ₹67–69 lakh. Buyers can expect an on-road price of around ₹66–68 lakh in cities like Bangalore and Chennai.
Orders for the car began in November 2025, with deliveries taking place just after its formal unveiling. Mini provides two-years unlimited kilometre warranty coverage with the car along with 24×7 roadside assistance. There is also the ability for buyers to upgrade the warranty and service package at additional cost, which is more difficult to ignore in a luxury car.
Engine and Performance Specifications
The India-spec Mini Cooper S Convertible is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo petrol engine.This engine produces 204 bhp of power and 300 Nm of torque. It is paired only with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and there is no manual transmission option available in India. Power is sent to the front wheels, and the car feels quick and responsive, especially in city and highway driving.
The car goes from really 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, which is pretty fast for a convertible. Top speed is rated at 237 km/h.
The ARAI certified mileage claimed by the company is 16.82 kmpl, but in city conditions you should expect around 12–14 kmpl depending on your driving style and traffic conditions. The timely gear changes and engine noise contribute to a fun driving experience—especially with the roof open.
Design and Exterior Details
The Mini Cooper Convertible S keeps the brand’s classic round design elements, including the circular LED headlamps, octagonal grille outline, and unique LED daytime running lights. The overall look is sporty and premium, with a compact shape that stands out easily on Indian roads. The car rides on stylish alloy wheels and gets sporty bumper designs specific to the “S” variant.
The main highlight is the electric fabric soft top roof. It is black in colour and can fully open in about 18 seconds. It can also be partially opened like a sunroof while driving at speeds of up to 30 km/h. This allows for open-air driving even in slow city traffic.
Boot space is small, at 160 litres with the roof open and 215 litres with it shut. The length of the car is around 3,876 mm and it has a wheelbase of 2,495 mm which makes it easy to drive and park in the city.
Interior and Features
Inside, the Mini Cooper S Convertible gets a clean and modern cabin design. The centre of the dashboard is dominated by a 9.4-inch circular OLED touchscreen, which works as both the infotainment system and digital instrument display. The screen is sharp, colourful, and easy to use, giving the cabin a very modern feel.
Included in the price of the car are features such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Harman Kardon premium audio sound system, heads up display, automatic dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting, and a back-up camera, and the driver’s seat even has a massage function, which is unusual for this type of car, and the Indian models are not the only ones which offer ventilated seats, as other global models do as well, but the Indian version focuses on including the most practical premium features as standards.
the quality of the entire cabin is premium, with the company not cutting corners as they provided soft touch materials with stylish trim on the surfaces.
Safety Equipment
On the Mini Cooper Convertible S, your safety is assured by multiple airbags combined with standard features such as ABS with EBD, and for greater control in emergency situations, electronic stability control, and traction control.
And, as for safety, this vehicle has advanced features such as collision warning, lane assistance, and even braking support, depending on the conditions of the road. While global models offer more advanced Level 2 ADAS features, the India-spec car focuses on strong core safety systems suitable for Indian roads and traffic situations.
Ownership and Practical Considerations of
Owning a Mini Cooper Convertible S is more about lifestyle than practicality. Annual service and maintenance on the battery pack is pegged to be in the range of ₹40,000–60,000 depending on usage and service package. Because it has a fabric soft top, owners need to be cautious during heavy dust build-up or extreme heat and the monsoon months. The roof needs to be cleaned regularly and properly parked.
The car accomidates four adults, althought back seat space is more in line with short trips, rather than long ones. The boot is small though, and with the roof open it won’t be suitable for long family holidays. That’s not so good, but as a second or third car in the garage they still make for fine city drivers and weekend get-away vehicles, and pretty good special occasion drives.
Overall Market Position and Rivals
The Mini Cooper S Convertible occupies a rather interesting space in India. Petrol convertibles at this end of the market are few and far between. Its main appeal is style, brand value, and driving fun rather than value-for-money or practicality. There are no directly comparables as most luxury convertibles in India are a lot pricier.
In a place where people in the city are all chomping on lifestyle cars, the Mini Cooper S Convertible is something that little bit different. The condition that’s suggested is one for all buyers to look for if they’re looking for a nice, fun filled premium open-top car which sets you apart from the crowd and adds some joy to your daily drive.
