The new MINI Convertible John Cooper Works Pack has been launched in India as a completely built-up unit (CBU), with bookings now open across all dealerships and deliveries commencing immediately.
Designed to deliver open-top driving excitement, the latest MINI Convertible blends signature styling with enhanced sportiness through the John Cooper Works (JCW) Pack. According to Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO of BMW Group India, the model represents the ultimate expression of freedom while adding a bold and assertive character with JCW-inspired design elements.
The exterior design of the new MINI Convertible JCW Pack focuses on classic MINI characteristics. The front end shows the typical face of the brand with its iconic round headlights and the newly designed front grille. The exterior colour options Legend Grey or Midnight Black are complemented by mirror caps & Sport Stripes in Black for the Legend Grey Exterior colour. The John Cooper Works trim stands out with unique design features of the Grille, Bumpers, Side Skirts, and Door Entry Sills. The Piano Black Exterior Trim and wheel arches add to the sporty look of the car.
Standard LED headlights have three light signatures to emphasise the car’s character. A specially orchestrated welcome and goodbye animation with MINI logo projections on the sides enhances the emotional connection even before you get in. On the side, the clean sporty lines create a striking contrast along with the short overhangs and long proportions. To match the unmistakable driving fun, this MINI is available with aerodynamically optimized 17-inch JCW Sprint Spoke Black alloys. The rear view is characterised by the flush design of the vertically aligned oval shaped LED rear lights. The rear section features a black handle strip with striking model badge, whose horizontal alignment emphasises the MINI Convertible JCW Pack’s wide stance.
The high-quality black soft top protects the occupants in all weathers. The electrically folding soft top can be fully opened in 18 seconds, even at speeds of up to 30 km/h. At the same time, the window bars and side windows are lowered to provide a completely unobstructed view of the surroundings. The soft top closes in 15 seconds at the touch of a button. It can also be partially opened to act as a sunroof, to a length of 40 centimetres, regardless of speed. When the top is open, the MINI Convertible JCW Pack has a luggage compartment volume of 160 litres. When closed, it expands to 215 litres.
With its clean shapes and minimalist controls, the interior of the new MINI Convertible JCW Pack evokes the design of the classic Mini. The sportiness is elevated with JCW Sports Seats, Vescin/Cord combination JCW Black upholstery and JCW Dashboard Trim. The new JCW Steering Wheel with paddle shifters adds to the hallmark MINI go-kart feeling. The focal point in the cockpit is the round high-resolution OLED display. Known as the MINI Interaction Unit, it combines the functions of an instrument cluster and a central display.
Like all new-generation MINI models, the MINI Convertible JCW Pack uses MINI Operating System 9. Its intuitive interface is inspired by smartphone apps and feels instantly familiar to users. The MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant (IPA) can be activated by saying “Hey MINI” to control a wide range of functions such as navigation, telephony, entertainment and others. The innovative MINI Digital Key Plus turns the smartphone into a car key via the MINI App and can be transferred to different users, along with their personal vehicle settings. Head-up Display projects all relevant information directly in the driver’s line of sight. Harman Kardon Surround Sound System is an aural treat. Other features include Remote Services, Remote Software Upgrades, Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, Teleservices, In-Car Weather and Intelligent Emergency Call.
With the MINI Experience Modes, one can choose from several immersive driving experiences, from the race-inspired ‘Go-Kart Mode’ to the energy-saving ‘Green Mode’ or the lively ‘Vivid Mode’ and more. MINI Experience Modes extend the indoor experience by tuning the light, sound and graphics settings.
