What is the name of the Mini convertible?

The story behind the answer

The Mini convertible is called the Mini Convertible. It is the open-top member of Mini’s small-car range, sold in several generations under names such as the R52, R57, F57 and F67.

BMW-era Mini convertibles began with the first-generation model, introduced for the 2005 model year. The second-generation R57 arrived in 2009 and added a roof-mounted Openometer, which recorded how long the roof had been retracted. Later versions retained the fabric roof while gaining updated engines, safety equipment and technology.

A common mix-up is confusing the Mini Convertible with the Mini Roadster. The Roadster was a separate, two-seat sports model related to the Mini Coupé, while the Convertible retained rear seats and the hatchback’s more practical character. “Mini Cabrio” is also used in some markets, but “Mini Convertible” is the standard English model name.
