Mini's Sidewalk Convertible

It looks like Mini will be waiting a little longer to show us the convertible based on the new second generation platform. Instead, Mini will be unveiling a new addition to its Convertible range at the Detroit auto show, when it presents the Sidewalk model for the first time on 6 January.

The new Sidewalk model offers a selection of exclusive and additional options, and is available on the One, Cooper and Cooper S. It includes a choice of four paintwork colours, Malt Brown English Leather upholstery, 17” Night Spoke light alloy wheels, bi-colour leather steering wheel and gear knob and special ‘Sidewalk’ interior trim, floor mats, badges and door inserts.

Additional MINI options that are standard on Sidewalk models are Automatic Stability Control and Traction (ASC+T), multifunction leather steering wheel, mirror caps in body colour, chrome line interior, passenger seat height adjustment, sports seats, storage compartment pack, front fog lamps, manual air conditioning, on board computer, interior light pack and white indicators.

Priced between £16,910 and £20,235, Mini claims these new Sidewalk models are priced 25% less than if you went out and chose the same options individually.
