MINI Philippines unveils Cooper Convertible Seaside Edition and Clubman Untold Edition

Celebrating its inaugural release in the Philippines, MINI introduces an exquisite and timelessly elegant model in honor of its first-ever classic open-top four-seater. The MINI Cooper Convertible Seaside Edition, a manifestation of sporty sophistication, debuts with exclusive enhancements and design elements, available in the captivating hues of Caribbean Aqua or the pristine Nanuq White. Limited to a select batch of only 10 units, Filipino auto enthusiasts can now revel in the allure of the MINI Seaside Edition, offered at a price of P3,720,000. Alongside it is the also limited Clubman Untold Edition.

The exclusive Seaside Edition accentuates the iconic features of this chic convertible with bespoke design aspects both inside and out. Every detail of this edition's trim exudes a distinctive charm, all components adorned in a lustrous white finish. A sleek stripe adorns the vehicle's sides, extending from the side scuttle to the taillights, exuding a sense of dynamism. Artful motifs commemorating three decades of open-air driving adorn the side scuttles, front bumper decal, and wheel center caps. Enthusiasts opting for the Caribbean Aqua metallic variant will relish the 17-inch Black Pedal Spoke wheels with their captivating design, paired with high-performance summer tires. Meanwhile, the Nanuq White metallic version boasts 17-inch Roulette Spoke wheels with a similar dual-tone aesthetic.

Stepping inside the cabin, the interior ambiance is elevated by unique trim strips on the vehicle doors, embellished with twin white lines and the distinctive Seaside insignia. Carbon Black leather seats, complete with inviting knee rolls and door armrests, offer an optimal blend of comfort and aesthetics, harmonizing seamlessly with the exterior shades, especially when the soft top is down. Further interior highlights include intricately detailed floor mats and decorative trim strips on the dashboard, adorned with special badges, patterns, and lettering, resonating with the overarching anniversary motif.

Based on the Cooper S Convertible with the esteemed Iconic trim, the MINI Seaside Edition grants additional features such as a Nappa Leather steering wheel graced with the Seaside Edition inlay and integrated steering wheel heating. The sole transmission choice for buyers is a silky smooth seven-speed Dual Clutch Steptronic Sport Automatic transmission. The package also encompasses heated front seats, a Storage Package, a Parking Assistant, a premium Harman Kardon sound system, and the comfort of dual-zone automatic climate control.

Catering to the modern driver's tech needs, the Seaside Edition boasts a comprehensive Touchscreen Navigation Package incorporating MINI Assist eCall, TeleServices, Advanced Real-Time Traffic Information, Apple CarPlay, and an array of cutting-edge features, making each drive an immersive and pleasurable experience.

Embracing its role as a stylish individualist in its class, the Untold Edition enhances the MINI Clubman's persona with an exclusive and audacious aesthetic. This charismatic iteration is available with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine making 189 hp and 280 Nm of torque at a price of a cool P3,800,000.

Noteworthy design elements set the Untold Edition apart, emphasizing its presence with distinctive details. The Sage Green metallic exterior paint, a debut for the MINI Clubman, combined with the sporty front and rear aprons inspired by the John Cooper Works Aerodynamic Kit, radiates sophistication. Departing from the usual black, the hallmark MINI surrounds on the lower body sections embrace a rich dark green hue. An exclusive touch is the set of five parallel sport stripes spanning the bonnet and roof's center. Unique side scuttles, crafted using advanced 3D printing, exhibit a specific stripe pattern that resonates in the logo projected from the door mirrors and on the door sill trims.

Exclusively designed 18-inch alloy wheels featuring the Untold Spoke design with a dual-tone Jet Black/Refined Brass finish are tailored solely for the edition vehicles. The refined brass motif extends to the radiator grille surround, the MINI Cooper S Clubman's radiator crossbar, the MINI John Cooper Works Clubman models, and the "Clubman" lettering on the split rear doors. The Piano Black exterior accents, encompassing door handles, exhaust tailpipes, MINI logos, and model lettering, are integral to the Untold Edition's allure.

The interior of the Untold Edition is an embodiment of the dynamic exterior character. Sporting MINI Yours Leather Lounge Sage Green sports seats, highlighted by light-colored seams and piping, as well as textile inserts, these seats exemplify elegance. An alternative option presents sports seats in the MINI Yours Leather Lounge Carbon Black variant. Illuminated Sage Green accent strips within the cockpit, along with bespoke interior surfaces showcasing a subtle striped pattern and green color scheme, provide a unique visual character. The air vents' surrounds shine in Refined Brass, adding a touch of luxury. An edition emblem graces the Nappa sports leather steering wheel's bottom spoke and the floor mats.

In addition to the distinctive design, the MINI Clubman in the Untold Edition offers a host of high-quality features. Beyond the premium compact model's standard equipment, this edition includes Adaptive LED Headlights, the MINI Excitement Package, MINI Driving Modes, anthracite-colored roof lining, and the Interior Light Package, ensuring an elevated driving experience. As the MINI Clubman Untold Edition takes to the roads of the Philippines, it sets a new benchmark for style, performance, and individuality in the premium compact segment.

If you want either of the two models, you have to act really fast because this will sell out very quickly with very limited numbers. MINI Philippines said during the launch that only 10 Seaside editions are in the Philippines, and one was already sold during the launch.
