Today marks the unveiling of the updated MINI Cabrio, alongside its Hardtop counterparts. This 2018 facelift brings subtle yet significant enhancements to the MINI range, focusing on design refinement, technological advancements, and expanded personalization options, ensuring the Mini Cabrio 2018 remains a compelling choice for open-top motoring enthusiasts.
The most immediately noticeable changes to the mini cabrio 2018 are the redesigned headlights and taillights. Standard halogen headlights now feature a distinctive black panel accent, while the optional LED headlights boast a completely new aesthetic. These advanced LED units offer improved brightness for both low and high beams. A striking circular ring now integrates the LED daytime running light and turn indicator, providing a modern and cohesive lighting signature.
The rear lights of the mini cabrio 2018, when equipped with optional LED technology, receive a distinctive makeover. Paying homage to MINI’s British heritage, the upright rear light units now proudly display a Union Jack design. This iconic motif is formed by horizontally arranged turn indicators, vertically aligned brake lights, and the diagonal lines of the British flag represented within the taillight itself. Importantly, all light sources within the Union Jack graphic utilize LED technology, ensuring a visually harmonious and energy-efficient lighting effect on the mini cabrio 2018.
Further exterior enhancements for the mini cabrio 2018 include the introduction of MINI’s new, minimalist logo. This updated emblem, a reinterpretation of the classic MINI logo, adopts a two-dimensional “flat design” for a contemporary look, subtly placed on the hood, tailgate, steering wheel and key of the mini cabrio 2018.
The color palette for the mini cabrio 2018 has also been expanded with three new metallic paint options: Emerald Grey, Starlight Blue, and Solaris Orange. These fresh colors provide even greater scope for personalizing the mini cabrio 2018 to individual tastes. For those seeking a more dramatic aesthetic, the optional Piano Black Exterior trim replaces the standard chrome surrounds on the headlights, rear lights, and radiator grille with a high-gloss black finish, adding a touch of sporty sophistication to the mini cabrio 2018.
MINI has also broadened the selection of optional light-alloy wheels available for the mini cabrio 2018. New 17-inch designs, including Roulette Spoke 2-tone and Propeller Spoke 2-tone styles, are now offered across the MINI range. The 17-inch Rail Spoke 2-tone wheels are another new addition, providing further customization possibilities for the mini cabrio 2018’s stance and visual appeal.
Inside the mini cabrio 2018, a range of new seat upholsteries, interior surfaces, and Color Lines allows for a highly personalized cabin environment. Notably, the luxurious Malt Brown Chesterfield Leather upholstery joins the options list, offering a premium touch to the mini cabrio 2018’s interior.
Furthermore, the innovative MINI Yours Customised program extends to the mini cabrio 2018, offering retrofit products designed by customers themselves. Through an online customizer, owners can personalize side scuttles, interior decorative strips, LED door sill finishers, and LED door projectors with a choice of colors, patterns, surface structures, icons, and even custom text. These bespoke elements are then manufactured to individual specifications, adding a unique and personal flair to each mini cabrio 2018.
Technological enhancements are also key to the mini cabrio 2018 update. A 6.5-inch display, now standard, features a refreshed user interface, Bluetooth mobile phone integration, and Bluetooth audio streaming. An optional 8.8-inch touchscreen navigation system boasts an updated interface and expanded functionalities, enhancing the mini cabrio 2018’s connectivity and infotainment capabilities.
Wireless charging becomes available for the first time in the mini cabrio 2018, with a dedicated storage compartment in the center armrest enabling convenient charging for compatible mobile phones. Adding to the sense of occasion, a new logo projection feature illuminates the MINI logo onto the ground in front of the driver’s side door upon vehicle entry and exit, a distinctive detail for the mini cabrio 2018.
Finally, MINI Find Mate, a new service, debuts in the updated range, including the mini cabrio 2018. This system utilizes wireless tracking tags that can be attached to personal items. Their location can be monitored via the on-board computer and the MINI Connected App, helping prevent loss or misplacement of valuables – a practical addition for owners of the mini cabrio 2018.
The refreshed MINI Hardtop and mini cabrio 2018 models are set to arrive in Spring, bringing a blend of updated style, enhanced technology and increased personalization to the iconic MINI driving experience.
