KUALA LUMPUR: Plenty of automakers around the world have announced their plans to go fully electric and one of them is Mini, owned by BMW. Mini has already confirmed that it will phase out all the ICE models by 2030 and its last new-gen internal combustion vehicle will come in 2025. Well, now here comes another official confirmation from the British premium brand and that is the arrival of the next-generation Mini Convertible in 2025.
Bernd Körber, head of the Mini brand, confirmed this and stated, “The MINI Convertible has a large and particularly loyal fan base. This is also shown by the great demand for the latest, freshly updated model. We are therefore firmly convinced of the success of this vehicle concept for the future.”
Open-top fun with a cleaner footprint.
With its nimble city car demeanor, the Mini brand is ripe for electrification. The 2022 Mini Cooper SE Hardtop E is currently the company s only electric vehicle, powered by a 181-horsepower electric motor with a modest 114-mile driving range. These specifications make the SE one of the lowest-range EVs available in the United States, but it s also the least expensive with a $29,900 starting price before incentives. Mini is already working on its next-generation EV that should improve on the range, and according to Auto Motor Sport, it should spawn a convertible version.
Ahead of an official announcement, the German outlet claims the current gas-powered Mini Cooper Convertible will end production in 2024 and give way to an electric model in 2025. Convertibles still accounted for one-fifth of Mini s sales in 2020, so it is important to keep a drop-top option as the brand moves towards electrification.

April’s fastest-selling used vehicles were led by the BMW 2 Series, according to iSeeCars. The 20 fastest-selling used vehicles averaged 28.7 days, 1.2-1.7 times faster than it took to sell an ordinary used vehicle. The fastest-selling used vehicles included a mix of sports cars, luxury vehicles, hybrids, and minivans.
“Earning the top spot is the BMW 2 Series small luxury car. Itâs  followed by the Mazda MX-5 Miata, Chevrolet Corvette, Mini Convertible, BMW 4 Series, and Kia Stinger. High-performance vehicles have been popular during the pandemic,â said Karl Brauer, iSeeCars executive analyst.
The Hyundai Palisade ranked fourth, followed by the Kia Telluride. âThese SUVs debuted in 2020, and have sustained popularity. Not widely available used, they had an May inventory increase. Given the markup and scarcity, used versions are appealing to those unable to locate a new one, or who want to save money.”
The Mini Convertible will continue for the foreseeable future, with a new model to come in 2025. This is shown by the demand for the latest, updated model.
