Dynamic Driving Spirit in a Compact Convertible

Enjoy a spirited drive designed to thrill, whether around Roswell’s cozy neighborhoods or the streets of Sandy Springs. The 2026 MINI Convertible keeps its legacy alive with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 engine offered in three engaging powertrains tailored to different driver styles.

Powertrain Choices for Every Driving Desire

Across all trims, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission paired with front-wheel drive delivers smooth, responsive shifts. The base Cooper trim generates 161 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in about 7.9 seconds, perfect for those valuing fuel economy alongside fun. Upping the excitement, the Cooper S offers 201 horsepower and 221 lb-ft, trimming the 0-60 time to roughly 6.7 seconds. For drivers craving a more aggressive edge, the John Cooper Works (JCW) variant pumps out 228 horsepower and 280 lb-ft, delivering rapid bursts to 60 mph in an estimated 6.2 seconds — a lively response that makes every drive unforgettable.

Agile Handling and Enhanced Ride Quality

Handling stays true to MINI’s go-kart ethos, with tight steering and nimble cornering that shine on city streets or winding roads. The JCW Style package adds adaptive dampers and aerodynamic body features, fostering precise control while enhancing driving enjoyment. The chassis promises rigidity for confident road manners, while the JCW’s unique gear ratios and predictive shift logic heighten agility and responsiveness to your throttle inputs.

Balanced Fuel Efficiency and Practical Range

All powertrains maintain a commendable balance of spirited performance and efficiency, with EPA estimates hovering around 26 to 27 mpg city and up to 37 mpg highway depending on the trim. This translates into a driving range of approximately 348 miles, giving you freedom to cruise comfortably across Lawrenceville, Atlanta, or other Georgia locales without frequent refueling.

Expressive Exterior: Bold Looks Meet Aerodynamic Function

Standing out on Buford’s streets or in downtown Alpharetta is simple with the MINI Convertible’s distinctive style. Its compact dimensions and thoughtful design communicate a premium sporty vibe while catering to practical urban needs.

Distinctive and Compact Dimensions

  • Overall Length: 152.8 inches
  • Wheelbase: 98.2 inches
  • Width (with mirrors): 77.6 inches
  • Height: 56.3 inches

The MINI Convertible’s sleek lines and compact body ensure ease of maneuvering through tight city streets or crowded parking spaces. This makes it an ideal choice for Atlanta commuters seeking agility combined with character.

Retractable Soft Top and Unique Styling Touches

A user-friendly one-touch electric fabric roof can be lowered or raised quickly, allowing you to shift from open-air fun to cozy cabin with ease. The optional Union Jack-themed soft top adds a culturally rich detail, while JCW Style and Cooper S packages provide sportier design elements like exclusive wheels, side skirts, and aerodynamic enhancements. Updated sport stripes offer fresh personalization options to make your MINI truly your own.

Lighting and Wheel Customizations

Standard LED headlights, coupled with cornering functionality, illuminate your path stylishly and safely. For those seeking flair, high-contrast exterior accents and JCW black sport brakes elevate the aggressive stance. Wheel options range from classic to bold designs, ensuring your MINI Convertible fits your personal aesthetic, whether parked near a Sandy Springs café or cruising through Roswell.

Signature Interior: Stylish Comfort Meets Practicality

Step inside the MINI Convertible and you’ll find a cabin that blends iconic style with modern comforts, ideal for both you and occasional passengers.

Compact Seating with Thoughtful Materials

The MINI Convertible seats four with a cozy rear bench best suited for smaller passengers or short trips, reflecting its design priorities for fun and style over rear occupant space. Front sport seats come standard with cloth and Vescin upholstery—a sustainable, leather-free material made from recycled resources—balancing comfort with environmental care. Heated seats and steering wheel are included, enhancing your driving experience around Athens or Buford no matter the weather.

Cargo Capacity for Everyday Essentials

With 5.2 cubic feet of trunk space, the MINI Convertible offers more cargo room than competitors like the Mazda MX-5 Miata, ideal for weekend getaways or errands around Johns Creek. Although not designed for large loads, this space comfortably holds small bags or groceries, keeping your essentials secure.

Thoughtful Design Details

The interior showcases stylish touches such as the MINI Toggle Bar for intuitive control of the 9.4-inch OLED central touchscreen, while ambient lighting brings an inviting glow to your drive. A convertible wind deflector helps reduce turbulence, improving cabin comfort when the roof is down.

Modern Connectivity and Intuitive Technology

Stay connected and entertained wherever you go, whether it’s Lawrenceville roads or scenic drives near Sandy Springs.

Advanced Infotainment for a Connected Drive: The MINI Operating System 9 powers a vibrant 9.4-inch OLED touchscreen housed in a circular display, offering easy access to navigation, media, and vehicle settings. Voice commands and over-the-air updates enhance convenience, and the digital key feature lets you unlock and start your MINI with your smartphone—though the base convertible requires brief key contact on the door handle.

Immersive Audio and MINI Experience Modes: The standard six-speaker sound system delivers crisp audio, while an optional Harman Kardon setup with 12 speakers elevates the experience, perfect for enjoying your favorite music on Atlanta cruises. MINI Experience Modes let you customize visual themes with dual projectors on the dashboard and doors, controllable through the MINI app for a truly personalized atmosphere.

Convenience Features Tailored for You

Wireless charging is standard, ensuring your devices stay powered throughout your journey. The head-up display projects essential data within your line of sight, enhancing safety and reducing distraction as you navigate Buford’s busy roads.

Comprehensive Safety and Driver Assistance

Your peace of mind matters, from everyday drives in Alpharetta to longer trips through downtown Atlanta.

Standard Safety Systems

Standard features include automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings, LED headlights with cornering, and front and rear parking sensors. These elements create a strong foundation for safety in urban and suburban environments.

Available Driver Aids and Parking Assistance

Upgraded trims can include the Driving Assistant Plus package, featuring camera and radar-based steering assist plus lane keep assist for added confidence on highways around Lawrenceville and Johns Creek. The innovative Parking Assistant Plus system handles parking detection and automated maneuvers, easing the challenge of tight spots in city life.

Adaptive Cruise Control for Relaxed Driving

Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality is reserved for the Iconic trim, ideal for hassle-free cruising on longer drives in bustling Atlanta or Sandy Springs traffic.
