With the launch of the 2026 MINI Cooper Convertible, many Grand Rapids drivers have questions about the practical side of this open-top redesign. Is it bigger? Does it finally have Android Auto? Can I fit golf clubs in the trunk?
To help you decide if the new F67 chassis fits your lifestyle, we have compiled the definitive FAQ guide, backed by factory engineering data.
The 2026 model retains its “city-friendly” footprint. It measures 152.6 inches in length, 68.7 inches in width (without mirrors), and 56.3 inches in height. This makes it significantly easier to park in downtown Grand Rapids than the average crossover.
Cargo space is a premium in a convertible. The 2026 model offers 5.2 cubic feet of trunk volume with the roof up. While compact, the rear seats fold down in a 50/50 split to accommodate longer items like golf bags or a weekend grocery haul.
No. The 2026 Convertible is powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine mounted in the front, leaving no room for a front trunk (frunk).
The F67 Convertible features an exceptionally tight turning circle of 36.4 feet. This allows for effortless U-turns on narrow streets like Wealthy St. or Cherry St.
No. All 2026 MINI Convertible models (Cooper C, Cooper S, and JCW) are Front-Wheel Drive (FWD). If you require AWD for Michigan winters, we recommend looking at the MINI Countryman ALL4.
The new 2.0L engine lineup delivers impressive acceleration across the board:
To maintain the performance of the TwinPower Turbo engine, Premium Unleaded (91 Octane or higher) is recommended. The fuel tank capacity is 11.6 gallons.
Yes! For the first time, Wireless Android Auto is standard alongside Wireless Apple CarPlay. Both are displayed on the new circular 9.4-inch OLED center screen.
Yes, Remote Engine Start is available and standard on higher trims like the Signature Plus and Iconic. This feature is controlled via the MINI App or the key fob, allowing you to precondition the cabin before walking out into the Michigan cold.
Standard on the 2026 Convertible, these modes change the personality of the car. For example, Go-Kart Mode sharpens the throttle response and steering, while Core Mode adjusts the ambient lighting and display graphics to match your mood.
The fully electric 3-in-1 soft top can be fully retracted in just 18 seconds. You can also operate the roof while driving at speeds of up to 18 mph, perfect for when a sudden rain shower hits while you are in traffic.
Yes. You can slide the front section of the soft top back by about 15 inches to create a “sunroof” opening without fully retracting the roof. This feature can be used at any speed.
