New 2016 MINI Clubman Gains Two doors, Loses Link to the Past [News] - TFLcar.com
The new 2016 MINI Clubman has officially debuted, gaining two doors and more interior room, but losing a link to the model’s two-door heritage. The new Clubman is the first of its kind with four doors, departing from the previous model’s two-door wagon design. Originally introduced in 2007, the Clubman is essentially a modern interpretation of the classic Austin Mini Traveller – an extended Mini with rear barn-style doors. The new 2016 Clubman keeps those unique rear doors and also adds 10. 9 inches in length over the MINI Hardtop 4-door. Along with a four-inch increase in wheelbase, it gives the newest MINI 17. 5 cubic feet of luggage space behind the rear seats and 47. 9 cubic feet of cargo room with the seats down. The base Cooper Clubman comes with a 1. 5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine that makes 134 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, while the Cooper S Clubman comes with a 2. -liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 189 horsepower and 207... Three cylinder models have an available six-speed automatic transmission, while all models come standard with a six-speed manual transmission. Source: www.tflcar.com
