The Mini Convertible is the drop-top version of Mini's Hardtop 2 Door. We've been enjoying this fun-in-the-sun Mini since this generation debuted in 2016, but more recently it was starting to feel a little dated. Luckily, the 2022 Mini Convertible gets a significant refresh that should keep people's interest piqued.

The Convertible's front and rear fascias now incorporate a body-colored panel that runs to the edge of the chrome grille and bumper surrounds. Those surrounds — along with the badges, door handles and tailpipes — can now be ordered in a gloss black treatment to distinguish it from previous models, which had chrome-only frames. The interior is slightly revised as well with a new digital instrument panel and an 8.8-inch central display.

From a performance perspective, the Mini Convertible is outmatched against rivals such as the Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang and Mazda Miata. But there's still enough charm here to make this Mini a satisfying pick for a reasonably priced drop-top. Check out our Expert Rating below for more details.

Which Convertible does MatoCar recommend?

The base Cooper's three-cylinder engine is fine, but the Cooper S and its more powerful four-cylinder engine are definitely worth paying more for. As for add-ons, the Signature trim bundles quite a few features you'll probably want, including heated seats and an automatic transmission.

The 2022 Mini Convertible is a small convertible available in three trim levels: Cooper, Cooper S and John Cooper Works (also called JCW). They are mainly differentiated by the engine under the hood. There are also three subtrims — Classic, Signature and Iconic — that denote the amount of features on each vehicle.

The Cooper is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine (134 horsepower, 162 lb-ft of torque), while the Cooper S gets a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (189 hp, 206 lb-ft). Both models come standard with a six-speed manual transmission, though a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is available. The John Cooper Works upgrades the 2.0-liter engine (228 hp, 235 lb-ft) and equips the car with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Cooper In its standard Classic form, the Convertible Cooper comes with:

  • 15-inch alloy wheels
  • All-season tires
  • LED headlights

  • 8.8-inch touchscreen

  • Sport seats
