2012 Mini Cooper S Clubman Hampton First Test - MotorTrend Magazine
The Mini Cooper Clubman was the third body style added to the Mini lineup after the coupe hardtop and the convertible, and offers the perfect solution to those who want the best of both worlds when it comes to Mini's "go kart" handling and cargo... It's an elongated Mini Cooper, with 3. 2 inches added to the wheelbase (which yields an equal bump in rear legroom), 9. 6 inches of increased overall length, and a cargo hold that grows from 24. 0 to 32. 6 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. Mechanically, the 2012 Clubman gets the typical Mini treatment: a 1. 6-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 121 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque, and a 1. 6-liter turbocharged I-4 that cranks out 181 hp and 177 lb-ft are mated to a six-speed gearbox. Trim levels include the Cooper Clubman, Cooper Clubman S, and John Cooper Works. Mini Yours introduces new customization options for upholstery, interior surfaces, and unique exterior colors such as Highclass Grey metallic and Laguna Green metallic, so buyers can create and design their Mini in detail. The 2012 Mini Clubman features the same cute looks as the Mini Cooper hardtop, with the key difference being that it sits on an extended wheelbase. The added 9. 3 inches in length essentially makes the Clubman a three-door wagon, and because of its bigger size, the Clubman comes standard with a Club door on the right side.
