Open-air version of the iconic British city car, the new 2009 Mini Convertible will be delivered into dealerships in March 28.

The evolutionary design maintains the unmistakably Mini appeal with hidden roll-bar that pops up during a rollover and a sliding roof that takes just 15 seconds to automatically open and close the soft top.

There are 170 litres available in the boot with the roof closed, and you can have an optional loading storage system between the luggage and passenger compartments.

With this new model you can try the latest PSA-shared 1.6 petrol engines, BMW group Efficient Dynamics, stop-start and intelligent alternator control.

The Mini Cooper Convertible produces 118 horsepower, while the Mini Cooper S Convertible version delivers 172 hp and has a Twin-Scroll turbocharger and direct fuel injection.

The retail price for the Mini Cooper Convertible is $24,550, and for the Mini Cooper S Convertible, $27,450 including $650 destination and handling charge.
