Recently, MINI officially released the new MINI Cooper Convertible Edition, the new car adds a touch of liveliness and elegance on the basis of the new generation of Cooper.
In terms of appearance, in addition to the convertible, the overall design is of course basically the same as the ordinary version, just a three-door car does not need major modifications, the front part of the polygonal large-mouth grille is divided into three layers, with a double-layer hollow mesh filling, the left and right sides are round headlight groups, black borders white daytime running light strips, the blackened light source looks quite fashionable, the front bumper part of the shape is slightly simplified, and the convertible version does not have to be so complicated. The biggest feature on the side of the body is, of course, the soft-top convertible mechanism, because the ordinary version is just a three-door, so it is just a change of roof, and this is also the soul of the model, forming a unique visual effect.

At the rear of the car, the taillights are actually closer to the Countryman, which is not the same as the ordinary version of the Cooper, with a rectangular structure, the internal Mizi flag light source will not be absent, and there is no through-light bar in the center, but a short and thick black decoration inlaid with the Cooper S logo, of course, the high-mounted brake lights have a special position, in line with the attitude of the convertible model.
The rear bumper part stands out again and has more personality. In addition to the convertible mechanism in the interior part, it is obviously also an element that Chinese consumers are quite familiar with, no different from the domestic electric version, the floating circular LCD screen, the Hud head-up display, the chic steering wheel, the special strap decoration, the center console covered with fabric fabric, the retention of physical buttons and the traditional one-button start button, the special armrest box front area storage box and other elements will not be absent, the organic combination of fashion and retro.
