2021 Mini Convertible pricing and specs detailed: Cooper S gets Sidewalk Edition to rival BMW 2 Series and Audi A3

The Sidewalk Edition is the latest in a long line of Mini specials.

Another week, another special from Mini Australia. This time it’s the Cooper S Convertible’s new Sidewalk Edition, which gets an exclusive colour combination.

Priced from $55,800 plus on-road costs, the Sidewalk Edition commands a $4700 premium over the regular Cooper S Convertible, although buyers are compensated for their extra spend.

Specifically, the Sidewalk Edition stands out from the Cooper S Convertible crowd with its exclusive Laguna Blue paintwork, although White Silver and Midnight Black finishes are optionally available.

The Sidewalk Edition also gets ‘arrow’ bonnet stripes and, 17-inch Scissor alloy wheels, ‘arrow’ soft-top graphics and bespoke side badging.

Inside, the Sidewalk Edition steps up with Anthracite leather upholstery with Energetic Yellow and Petrol Blue braided accents as well as a ‘Sidewalk’ logo on the bottom of its sports steering wheel, and unique scuff plates.


Just like the regular Cooper S Convertible, the Sidewalk Edition is powered by Mini's 141kW/280Nm 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine that drives the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

As reported, the BMW 2 Series and Audi A3 convertible rival is set to end production in 2024 due to increasingly low sales.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
