Unveiled in concept form at the 2012 Geneva Auto Show, the new MINI Clubvan will go on sale in Europe and North America this fall.
The Clubvan is hailed at the ''world's first premium compact delivery van.'' This five-door, two-passenger model is built on the same platform as the MINI Clubman. Cargo can be accessed either through the wide-opening split rear door or the right-side Clubdoor, also derived from the Clubman.
The utility area features 12V power sockets and six tie-down loops. Maximum payload capacity is 500 kilograms.
Across the pond, three engines will be available including 98-hp and 122-hp variants of the 1.6L four-cylinder gasoline engine as well as a 112-hp turbodiesel. Only the 122-hp gas engine will make it to America, mind you. Expect 0-100km/h accelerations in 9.8 seconds, a top speed of 201 km/h, and a fuel consumption average of 5.5L/100km.
Pricing remains unspecified.
