2024 MINI Convertible: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 MINI Convertible is a light-update model, led by the return of a manual transmission for the Cooper and Cooper S. The rest of the lineup stays close to 2023, and this is the final year of the F57 generation.
About the 2024 MINI Convertible
3rd-generation MINI Convertible (F57, 2016-2024), after the 2022 refresh and final model year before the all-new 2025 U.S. redesign.
MINI positions the Convertible as a small premium four-seat soft-top built around open-air fun and the brand’s signature quick, playful handling. Its core appeal is personality: compact size, standout design, and a livelier feel than most small everyday cars. Compared with tiny two-seat roadsters, it adds a usable second row and more daily-driver flexibility, while still selling the experience as a cheerful, style-heavy drop-top rather than a pure practicality choice.
The Cooper is the easygoing entry model, with a turbocharged 3-cylinder engine, a power soft top, heated front seats, and an 8.8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay. The Cooper S is the stronger 2.0-liter turbo model, while the John Cooper Works is the focused performance version with 228 horsepower, sport suspension, Brembo front brakes, and an 8-speed sport automatic.
