The Mini Convertible Seaside Edition is available in two exterior colors: Caribbean Aqua and Nanuq White. The side profile gets double decorative stripes from the side doors to the rear.

Inside, the door sills welcome passengers with two white stripes and Seaside emblems. The carbon black leather seats also come with “Seaside” lettering, while the dashboard boasts edition-exclusive decorative trim strips. The dash also holds the screen with the Mini operating system that supports Apple CarPlay.
Powering the vehicle is a 2.0-liter Mini TwinPower engine capable of generating 178 horsepower and 280 Nm of torque. It is coupled to a seven-speed Steptronic dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Mini claims the convertible can go from zero to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds.
The electronically-operated soft top can be opened or closed automatically at a speed of up to 30 km/h.
