Grown-Up Miniature Cars

The New Convertible Cooper S is Bigger and Smarter Than Ever

— October 27, 2015 — Autos
The Convertible Cooper S is a new Mini Convertible that isn't quite as 'mini' anymore. Indeed this vehicle is now nearly 4 inches longer, 1.7 inches wider and 1 mm taller than its predecessors -- these numbers may not sound enormous but helps grant passengers a significant increase in space.

In addition to being bigger than previous editions, the new Convertible Cooper S is also more intelligent. This vehicle now has a fully electric soft top that can be opened at speeds up to 30 km/h. It includes a fancy 'sliding roof' function that acts as a sunroof.

Ultimately, the Convertible Cooper S aims to take the Mini Cooper convertible and bring it forward, making it desirable to a wider spectrum of motorists.



Trend Themes
1. Larger Convertible Cars - The trend of larger convertible cars presents opportunities for manufacturers to create vehicles that offer increased passenger space and comfort.
2. Intelligent Soft Tops - The trend of intelligent soft tops allows for innovative features like electric opening at higher speeds and sliding roof functions, improving the convertible experience.
3. Expanding Mini Cooper Market - The trend of expanding the Mini Cooper market aims to attract a wider range of motorists, creating opportunities for growth and diversification in the industry.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Manufacturing - The automotive manufacturing industry can capitalize on the trend of larger convertible cars by producing models that cater to the demand for increased space.
2. Auto Accessories and Parts - The auto accessories and parts industry can tap into the trend of intelligent soft tops by developing innovative components and technologies that enhance the functionality and convenience of convertible roofs.
3. Specialty Car Markets - The specialty car markets can benefit from the expanding Mini Cooper market trend by offering customized versions and targeted marketing campaigns to attract a diverse range of motorists.
