2020 Mini Convertible Sidewalk Returns As A Flashy Compact Go-Kart

Extroverts will love the appearance package.

In 2007, Minigraced all of the globe with a sidewalk-style droptop ride. This was a very stylish appearance package, which is now being reborn for the new-generation model. The 2020 Mini Convertible Sidewalk is designed for those who want more attention than what a convertible provides.

The new Sidewalk, like the previous version, is a visual package with a variety of exclusive items. Sidewalk only offers the new Deep Laguna metallic exterior. Sidewalk has added features like contrasting hood stripes, Sidewalk branding on the fender outlets, and a set of 17-inch Scissor-spoke wheels that have a two-tone finish.

The most striking exterior feature of this convertible is the up top. The cloth roof has silver arrow graphics embedded into it. This is a nice change from the usual sea of black on convertibles. We also like the argument that the top can be kept up even if it might be easier to lower it.
