Petrol-powered hot hatch and convertible land to tangle with Abarth 500e, Volkswagen Polo GTI and Hyundai i20 N: 2025 Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works and Convertible pricing confirmed

Mini has announced pricing for the Mini Cooper convertible range along with top-of-the-tree John Cooper Works hatch.

Pricing starts at $51,990 for the Cooper C Convertible in Classic trim and increases to $67,990, all before on-road costs, for the full-fat Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works Favoured convertible. 

The more focussed John Cooper Works three-door hatchback comes in Classic ($57,990) or Favoured ($60,990, both before on-road costs) trims, joining the rest of the regular Cooper line-up.

The Cooper C convertible comes standard in Classic trim with 17-inch alloy wheels, six-speaker sound system, cloth-appointed heated sports seats, ‘classic’ interior trims, augmented reality navigation, wireless smartphone charging and a 9.4-inch circular multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

Moving up to the Favoured adds $3000 no matter the engine. It also doubles the speaker count to 12 (and they’re from Harman/Kardon), adds sportier power adjust John Cooper Works seats with synthetic leather upholstery and ‘Favoured’ trim highlights. The convertible top gets a union jack motif, too.

All Cooper C convertibles variants use a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder with power and torque set to 120kW and 250Nm, respectively, for an 8.2-second 0-100km/h sprint. 

The Cooper S turns the four-banger's wick up to 150kW and 300Nm, cutting the 0-100km/h time to a warm 6.9 seconds and bumping top speed to 237km/h. It starts at $56,990, before on-road costs. Both use a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.

The Cooper S convertible can be had in JCW Sport trim (plus $2000 over Favoured) with more athletic steering wheel, interior and exterior styling, sports stripes and paddle shifters. Performance-focussed upgrades include JCW brakes and adaptive dampers.

Visually distinguished by unique 17-inch alloy wheels painted black as standard and tougher exterior treatment, the Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works three-door and convertible get the highest 170kW/380Nm engine tune.

In the Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works hatch that means 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds (convertible 6.4) and a 250km/h top speed, which drops to 245km/h in the convertible.

Both hatch and convertible get everything above (minus power seat adjust) plus the ability to choose red exterior stripes in Classic trim.

The flagship Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works Favoured three-door and convertible build on the package with performance tyres and power-adjust front seats with active energising functionality for the driver.

As always with Mini there’s a barrage of colour, wheel and customisation options available to tailor the pint-sized model to your liking — certainly more so than similarly sized alternatives such as the Abarth 500e, Hyundai i20 N and Volkswagen Polo GTI.

All trims will join the existing combustion-powered and battery electric Mini hatch line-up when they arrive in the second quarter of 2025.
