Product Overview

Mini Convertible R52 is a subcompact convertible in production from 2004 to 2008. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.6 liters. Fortunately, Mini did not stuff diesel engines in the convertible.

Compared to the Mini hatch R50, the R52 Convertible is arguably less elegant, even though it largely retains the former's styling elements.
