The Mini Cooper Cabriolet retains just about everything that is great about the cooper while adding a smart retractable roof to the mix. The soft top can be partially retracted for a targa effect or completely retracted for complete top-down motoring. A strong A-pillar and small roll bars provide security from accidental rollover. The Cooper Cabriolet is offered in Cooper and Cooper S models and carries about a $5000 price premium over the hardtop model.

All MINI models wear revised front fascias and fog lamps in front and new taillights in the rear. Inside, the silver finish has been replaced with a matte black finish. Revisions to the 1.6l engine increase power to 121-bhp (181-bhp on S models).
