2027 MINI Cooper Convertible: What’s New, Trims, Specs, and Features.

The 2027 MINI Cooper Convertible now includes a standard 9.4″ circular OLED display across all trims, which MINI identifies as an industry-first design. The Cooper S steps up to 201 hp and the JCW powertrain reaches 228 hp, both gains over base output. This page covers every trim, spec, and key change, with current convertible inventory available at MINI of Grand Rapids.

What’s New for 2027.

The most significant update to the 2027 MINI Cooper Convertible is the standard fitment of the 9.4″ circular OLED display, which MINI identifies as an industry-first design. Every configuration in the lineup now ships with this touchscreen as standard equipment, not as an option.

Beyond the display, the 2027 model carries forward the full second-generation platform that MINI introduced with its refreshed lineup. The John Cooper Works Convertible produces 228 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque from a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbocharged 4-cylinder, paired with a 7-Speed Sport Dual-Clutch Transmission. Standard equipment across all configurations includes heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a convertible wind deflector, and a head-up display. These were previously optional features on earlier generations.

The MINI Digital Key is also standard for 2027, allowing smartphone-based locking, unlocking, and starting on compatible Apple, Samsung, and Google devices.

2027 MINI Cooper S Convertible

2027 MINI Cooper Convertible interior

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo.

The 2027 MINI Cooper Convertible seats four. Overall length is 152.8 inches and overall height is 56.3 inches, dimensions that reinforce the model’s compact footprint while preserving genuine four-seat utility.

Standard front seating uses cloth and Vescin, a leather-free upholstery made from premium recycled materials. JCW Sport Seats, standard on the JCW powertrain variant, add lateral support designed for spirited driving. Power-adjustable front seats are standard on the JCW and available on higher packages.

The convertible wind deflector is standard across all configurations, reducing cabin turbulence when the top is down. Dual-zone automatic climate control gives driver and front passenger independent temperature settings, a practical feature for open-air driving where one occupant may want more heat than the other.

A panoramic moonroof is also standard, giving closed-top occupants additional light and openness without lowering the soft top.

2027 MINI Cooper Convertible technology

Technology and Infotainment.

The 9.4″ circular OLED display is the defining technology upgrade for 2027. Its circular shape aligns with MINI’s round instrument cluster heritage while delivering a modern touch interface running MINI Operating System 9. The system supports touch control and comes with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The MINI Toggle Bar sits below the display, providing physical control inputs for frequently used functions. The MINI Head-Up Display is standard on all configurations, projecting speed, navigation, and alerts onto the windshield.

MINI Navigation and the MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant are standard. MINI Experience Modes allow drivers to personalize ambient lighting and interior projections by mood or preference.

The MINI Digital Key supports Apple devices, Samsung devices running Android 13.1 or later (including Galaxy S23+ and S22+ series), and Google Pixel devices running Android 13.1 or later. The key enables smartphone-based locking, unlocking, and starting without a physical key fob.

The Signature Plus package adds wireless device charging. The Iconic package adds Active Cruise Control Stop and Go and the Harman Kardon premium sound system.

MINI safety technology overview

Who It’s For and How It Compares to the Prior Year.

Open-Air Everyday Driving.

The 2027 MINI Cooper Convertible is the right fit for drivers who want an open-top car with genuine turbocharged performance, a premium technology interior, and a compact size that handles well in city traffic.

Buyers in Grand Rapids who enjoy warm-weather driving on routes around the lakeshore or through the city will find the wind deflector and multi-mode experience features add real daily usability, not just occasion-only appeal.

More Standard Technology for 2027.

Compared to the 2026 model, the most meaningful shift is the standard fitment of the 9.4″ OLED display and the MINI Digital Key across all configurations.

Both were previously restricted to higher packages or add-on options on earlier generations. Buyers cross-shopping last year’s model against the 2027 will find the standard tech content measurably higher without moving up the configuration ladder.

Maximum JCW Performance.

Drivers who want maximum performance should go directly to the JCW powertrain variant.

At 228 hp with JCW Sport Brakes, the Sport Dual-Clutch Transmission, and Dynamic Damper Control, it is a meaningfully different car from the Cooper C, not just a badge upgrade.
