The 2015 MINI Roadster, part of the second-generation of MINI models, is a stylish and agile compact convertible. Power comes from one of three engine choices - a base 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine offering 121 horsepower, a turbocharged version of the same for 181 hp, and a sporty John Cooper Works model boasting 208 hp. All engines are paired to a six-speed manual transmission as standard, with an optional six-speed automatic also available. The Roadster offers front-wheel drive setup across all its trims. Infotainment is provided by a 6.5-inch center screen with Bluetooth and USB connectivity as standard. The brand's acclaimed handling characteristics make it particularly fun to drive, while safety is enhanced by features such as dynamic stability control, cornering brake control, and a rollover protection bar. Change for the 2015 model year was minimal, marking the final year of the Roadster before MINI discontinued the model in 2016.
