An optional dual-clutch gearbox is available.
Mini revealed the Mini Convertible Sidewalk edition’s first details in 2020. This marked the return to the Sidewalk moniker within the open-top range. The special edition convertible will be available in the United States beginning next month, according to the British automaker.
The cabriolet’s funky design will arrive in America in a Cooper S form. It will have a 189-horsepower (414-kilowatt), four-cylinder turbo-turbo engine that can accelerate in 6.7 seconds.
The 2021 Convertible Sidewalk Edition comes with a suggested retail price (MSRP) at $38,400 and an $850 destination & handling fee. The standard open-top Mini will come with a six speed manual gearbox. An optional seven-speed dual clutch automatic will also be available. The base price will be increased by $1,500 with the DCT gearbox.
Mini USA’s Department Head of Product Planning Patrick McKenna comments that the Mini Sidewalk Edition offers the ideal balance between style, performance, and style for customers looking for sun-drenched driving. “The Mini Sidewalk Edition also comes loaded with premium standard features, making it an excellent value for anyone who wants something truly special for their drive.”
The new Mini convertible special edition will be offered in the USA with two exterior paints: Deep Laguna Metallic or Mini Yours Enigmatic Black Metallic. Both are complemented by an anthracite soft top roof. Standard equipment includes full-LED headlights with fog lamps and 17-inch wheels in two-tone, head-up display and keyless access. Power-folding side mirrors, Harman/Kardon premium sound system, heated front seats and many other features.
