Bringing an extra set of doors and added space to the Mini lineup is the job of the new Mini Cooper Clubman. Mini recently announced pricing would start at $26,400 for the standard Mini Cooper Clubman model, and $31,500 for the turbocharged and performance enhanced Mini Cooper S Clubman.
The new five-door model takes styling lessons from past Mini's, including the Morris Mini Traveller and Austin Mini Countryman. The Clubman model is 24 centimeters longer than a standard Mini, and cargo capacity is rated at nearly 33 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down.
The Cooper and Cooper S Clubman models are powered by the same engines as their 3-door counterparts. These engines employ technologies like variable timing and twin-scroll turbocharging for an optimized blend of economy and power, topping out at 172 horsepower in the S model. Cooper Clubman, with a six-speed manual transmission, qualifies for a $1,000 ECO-Auto rebate as well.
"The new MINI Clubman is an exciting addition to the MINI family. The Clubman and Clubman S will appeal strongly to those individuals who require a unique and characteristic premium car which compliments their active lifestyles. The new MINI Clubman is a modern interpretation of an iconic classic that embodies the characteristics for which MINI has become known," stated Stephen McDonnell, Director of MINI Canada.
The Mini Cooper Clubman models go on sale in February.
