The MINI Cabrio made its world debut in Detroit this week. Staying true to its new motto, 'Always Open', the MINI Cabrio literally broke the ice to reveal its hot new look and demonstrate its versatility even in winter weather.
Displayed in a new custom MINI Cabrio color, bright 'Interchange Yellow', the car did not disappoint. Taking only 15 seconds to open the soft top, the MINI Cabrio has improved in design, and boasts optimized handling, performance, efficiency and functionality.
"The new car is more focused than ever on the fun of open air driving. With a built-in timer to measure how long the hood is down, a retractable roll over bar and features to optimize fuel economy and minimize emissions, the Cabrio proves that the MINI brand, now in its 50th anniversary year, continues to thrive," said Sarah Klippert, MINI manager of BMW Group Middle East in Jeddah.
The new MINI Cabrio will enter the regional market in April with two models, the MINI Cooper Cabrio and the MINI Cooper S Cabrio, both with 1.6-liter engine variants.
