2016 Mini Clubman First Look - Motor Trend
Where the previous-generation Mini Clubman, which debuted in 2007, had a small rear-hinged third door on the passenger side, the new larger MINI Cooper Clubman has four full-size front-hinged doors. 3 inches in overall length on a 105. 1-inch wheelbase and a 79. 6-inch width (including mirrors), the new Mini Clubman is 10. 9 inches longer with a 4. 0-inch longer wheelbase and is 2. 9 inches wider than the standard Mini Cooper Hardtop. Inside, there is room for five passengers with three-across seating in the second row and 17. 5 cubic-feet of cargo area behind the second row and up to 47. 9 cubic-feet with the second-row 60/40 seat folded. Power for the Mini Clubman and Clubman S comes from the same turbocharged I-3 and I-4 engines as the regular Mini. Transmission choices include a six-speed manual and a eight-speed Steptronic automatic with paddle shifters that’s new to the Mini brand. Mini claims that the base Clubman can hit 60 mph in 8. 9 seconds with either transmission and has a top speed of 127 mph and that the Clubman S can reach 60 mph in 7. 0 seconds with manual or 6. 9 seconds with automatic and has a top speed of 142... Other new firsts for the Mini brand on the Clubman include an electric parking brake, and an available power seat in a special equipment package that includes the Mini Yours interior styles and backlit door bezels. An available Mini Excitement package includes LED interior and ambient lighting, with the Mini logo projected to the ground from the outside mirrors. Source: www.motortrend.com
