A few days back, we informed you that the latest version of Mini Convertible has been revealed in images and now the car has been officially displayed at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. This convertible has been expanded in size when compared to its predecessor. Except for the dimensions, everything is more or less the same. However, it was expected that being facelift version, this offering will carry significant changes. Maybe the automaker didn't want to lose on the features it already has, so as to maintain the same level of bond with the customers it has built over the years.
