Mini Cooper S: The new model Mini Cooper S Convertible is yet another creation that inherits all those features that were characteristic of this automotive brand – small dimensions, outstanding performance, and a fascinating personality. An open-top drive enriched with the feel of Porsche’s newly adopted dimensions make it a ride to behold. Besides, it does not have a manual gearbox nor paddle shifters but the Mini Cooper S Convertible does not disappoint offering spirited, exciting and enjoyable moments on the road.
The 2025 Mini Cooper S Convertible was test-driven in short drive around South Carolina with its curvy roads. As to the weather it was not distinctly tropical but the new generation of Mini was identified as being entertaining and characterful in driving manner.
What New Will We Get in 2025 Mini Cooper S
On the surface, the forthcoming Mini Cooper S Convertible 2025 model doesn’t deviate much from the current model – familiar design elements are kept intact for branding. But it’s smoother in appearance, with a more acute octagonal grille, bigger headlights, and revised rear lights, which are bone-shaped, and while some editions do have the Union Jack. The soft-top-only convertible also makes extensive use of Union Jack on its top.
Interiors are designed specifically in Mini which pay much attention to the round display screen even more advanced with excellent graphics and the Go-Kart mode with race inspired visual designs. A special ‘Openometer’ records the time for which the top has been deployed, which gave this convertible a certain advantage over the others. They further pointed out that the top is as well able to open and close within 18 seconds regardless of the speed which may reach 18mph.
Exclusive Features Presented in 2025 Mini Cooper S
The 2025 Mini Cooper S variants sold in the US will have 2.0L turbo-four engines that deliver 201 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque with 7-speed dual-clutch transmissions. The interior overhaul trades the normal shifter for a throw switch, making the manual transmission unavailable, which has upset lovers. Paddle shifters were also missed, although Mini has responded to the owners and might revive them in the following model update.
The driving character of the Cooper S Convertible was relatively solid on a twisty country road where body roll was admirably managed, though not entirely spine-crunching when pushing through turns even with Go-Kart mode activated. A dash of more power would get it into better shape, though those changes are not expected in the near future.
Valuation of 2025 Mini Cooper S
Our time with the wheel was rather short so the final verdict that will be given for these cars will be prepared once a longer time is spent with any of these vehicles. However, with a starting price of $38,195 the 2025 Mini Cooper S Convertible is on the high side as compared to its competitors. The two-door version driven eliminates almost any space for second-row passengers, and this vehicle being cool and charismatic is a novel starting price. Unfortunately there is no guidance on the price range for the entire lineup, which means prices could skyrocket rapidly from the Mini.
