MINI to reveal trio of refreshed models in Detroit?

One of the expected facelifts, the Cooper Convertible, achieved the fastest growth of any MINI model in 2017.

MINI is reportedly preparing mid-cycle updates for several models, with three debuts scheduled for Detroit.

The forthcoming debuts will include a revised Cooper Convertible along with updates to the company's three- and five-door Hardtop models, according to Automotive News.

The trio is said to have received modest styling tweaks and improved technology.

The three-door Cooper Hardtop achieved relatively flat sales in 2017, with overall deliveries second only to the Countryman. Interestingly, the convertible achieved an even stronger growth rate than the Countryman, despite a broad falloff in demand for drop-top vehicles.
