The MINI Clubman

Enlargement of the MINI brand family through the addition of a truly innovative, unique shooting brake concept highlighting both the car's sportiness and its functional qualities through its stretched roofline, the MINI Clubman combining a driving experience typical of the brand with extroverted design, a high level of personalisation, and enhanced function; five seats, hatchback with two doors opening to the side (split-door design); additional Clubdoor on the right-hand side of the car opening against the direction of travel; body length extended versus the "regular" MINI by 24 centimetres (9.45"), wheelbase and legroom at the rear up by 8 centimetres (3.15"); luggage compartment capacity 260-930 litres (9.1-32.6 cu ft) with the rear-seat backrest tilted down.


Unique, highly distinctive proportions as a clear sign of the MINI Clubman's individual character; clear integration into the design language typical of the brand through MINI design icons.

New generation of four-cylinder gasoline engines with twin-scroll turbocharger and, respectively, fully variable valve management as well as four-cylinder diesel engine with common-rail fuel injection; all engine variants featuring a wide range of improvements to optimise fuel economy and emission management: Auto Start-Stop, Brake Energy Regeneration, gearshift point indicator.

Front-wheel drive; go-kart feeling typical of the brand ensured by demanding chassis technology specifically geared to the MINI Clubman; brakes with anti-lock system (ABS), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), Cornering Brake Control (CBC) and Brake Assistant; Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with hill start-up assistance standard on all models; limited-slip differential as an option on the MINI Cooper S Clubman.

Crash-optimised passenger cell; six airbags featured as standard; three-point inertia-reel seat belts on all seats; belt latch tensioners and belt force limiters at the front; belt warner; ISOFIX child seat fastening system at the rear featured as standard.

Up-to-date rendition of the historical roots inherent in the brand by styling references to the Morris Mini Traveller, the Austin Mini Countryman, and the Mini Clubman Estate in the 1960s.


Wide range of customisation options both outside and inside; frame around the rear doors colour-matched to the roof trim; choice of more than 40 different colour combinations; specific range of optional extras and accessories.
