2016 MINI Convertible Set For March 2016 Release

According to Rapid News Network the 2016 MINI Convertible:
BMW says that the new MINI Convertible will launch in three engine variants including a 3-cylinder petrol engine with 100 kW/136 hp in the MINI Cooper Convertible, 4-cylinder petrol engine with 141 kW/192 hp in the MINI Cooper S Convertible, and 3-cylinder diesel engine with 85 kW/116 hp in the MINI Cooper D Convertible.

The MINI Convertible will go on sale nationwide in March of next year, meaning it will most likely land as a 2017 model. At 3850mm on a 2495mm wheelbase, it’s 98mm longer than the model it replaces, and 44mm wider at 1727mm.

The boot of the new auto is around 25% larger than that of the outgoing MINI Convertible, at 215 litres when the roof is closed and 160 litres with it down. . . . .
