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.

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.
