MINI Convertible: F57 LCI 2 vs F67

Verdict

At RM290,388 versus RM318,888, this is a straight new-versus-outgoing MINI Convertible call. The F67 asks RM28,500 more, but its 2.0-litre petrol engine is stronger at 204 hp and 300 Nm, trimming 0-100 km/h to 6.9 seconds and lifting top speed to 237 km/h. The F57 LCI 2 is barely slower, keeps the same 215-litre boot, 44-litre tank, six airbags and AEB, and gets a longer four-year warranty. For a Malaysian buyer, the outgoing car looks hard to dismiss.

F57 LCI 2

Pick the MINI Convertible F57 LCI 2 if the RM28,500 saving, four-year warranty and stated 5.7 L/100 km fuel figure matter more than a small performance gain.

F67

Pick the MINI Convertible F67 if you want the newer generation with 204 hp, 300 Nm and a quicker 6.9-second 0-100 km/h time.

F57 LCI 2 vs F67 FAQ

Is the MINI Convertible F57 LCI 2 or MINI Convertible F67 better?

The F67 is stronger and quicker, but the F57 LCI 2 is the smarter buy on paper: cheaper, with a longer warranty, same seats, boot, tank, airbags and AEB. Choose the F67 only if the extra pace matters.

What is the price difference?

The MINI Convertible F67 costs RM28,500 more than the MINI Convertible F57 LCI 2. That buys 12 hp, 20 Nm, a 0.2-second quicker 0-100 km/h time and 7 km/h more top speed.

Do they have the same practicality?

Yes. Both are four-seat convertibles with a 2,495 mm wheelbase, 215-litre boot and 44-litre fuel tank, so the F67’s newer body does not bring extra listed luggage space.
