MINI has recently presented the new 3-door MINI Cooper, for the moment only in the 100% electric version . This is a very important model for the electrification strategy of the English car manufacturer which aims to become a 100% electric brand in 2030. More ahead, as we know, endothermic engines will also arrive for the 3-door. The news, however, is not over because the manufacturer is also working on a new Cabrio version which will be proposed with petrol engines.
Last month the first spy photos of the new Cabrio arrived in what seemed to be the most modern setup. John Cooper Works (JCW) sports car. Now, new shots allow us to observe the new model once again during a road test session.
Although the films applied to the bodywork try to hide the details of the design, we can see that, this time, the car is in a different set-up. In fact, the car has bumpers with less aggressive shapesand, behind, it is not the central exhaust terminal is present.
The general look will be similar to that of the recently presented electric Cooper although the endothermic models will be characterized by some small aesthetic differences such as the presence of air intakes at the front. Looking at the new images, behind we can see the light clusters with the classic Union Jack motif. Despite the similarities, the endothermic and electric models will be based on completely different platforms.
It's not possible to take a peek at the interior. However, the interior should not differ too much from that of the new electric MINI Cooper. This means that we will find a cabin with a minimalist look and a dashboard dominated by a 9.4-inch OLED circular central display.
There is no particular information on the engines that we will find below the bonnet of the new MINI Convertible but is It is possible that the current units will be re-proposed. Some engines, however, could be equipped with Mild Hybrid technology to reduce consumption and emissions. The debut of the new convertible should take place in 2024. Therefore, it is It is possible that further information on its development will arrive.
