The new Mini Clubman – a van that has grown up

New Mini Clubman 2015

Mini, or BMW, is not resting and continues the offensive of renovating the Mini model range. This time we can be impressed by the new look of the most urban delivery truck in the world. This was indeed the primary function of the Clubman model sometime in the past.

About the beauty of the new Clubman it will be built, but the fact that it is more beautiful than its predecessor is what everyone will agree with. Its biggest feature is the double-winged rear tailgate and long roofline. The biggest change is, of course, the overall feel of the bodywork, which definitely looks more concrete than the previous generation. Clubman has actually grown, as it is wider compared to 5 door Mini got good ones 9 centimeters, while the wheelbase gained just 10 centimeters thick, centimeters so much more that it goes with the new one Clubman actually for a completely different car class.

The Clubman comes out really long, but that's good and nice.

In total, these centimeters in length add up to quite a bit 27. If we are talking about centimeters, then it is necessary to translate this dimension into liters and look at the trunk, which does not have much in common with the van class, but still serves with 380 liters. These are already the dimensions of smaller family van limousines.

380 liters is not a record. But it is more than its Mini brothers.

It's enough to fit more in it than in any sibling of the Mini family. And the basis for a good excuse when buying the most practical Mini.

Of course at Mini Clubman it is not a working machine but your personal style statement. They won't ride it washing machine repairmen but in all probability somewhat more urban artisans, or masters of their stylistic crafts.

The Mini Clubman is a statement of personal style. And at the same time the most rational & useful Mini.

That they will stand out in their own Clubman at Mini, they provided a wide selection of additional equipment elements to individualize the exterior and interior: the aerodynamics package John Cooper Works, the exterior line Chrome Line; roof racks; a large selection of seat types, decorative surfaces and interior colors; exclusive equipment elements John Cooper Works and MINI Yours. So many choices to make it yours Clubman truly completely individual and you won't miss it in the flood of ready-made products.


It would be a sin to talk about technical specifications in this article, because at Clubman practically everything is as it should be, or as it is with his brothers, with whom he shares motorbikes and horses. In any case, regardless of its "van" origin Clubman it has the S badge on its rear and so does the version that does 192 British-German crows that you can control for the first time 8-speed automatic steptronic and so on Clubman- but you are enviable 228 km/h and you compete with him from intersection to intersection - that is, from 0 to 100 km/h in a sporty 7.1 seconds.

He looks furious! Oh, no?!

To make you safer when winding in go-kart style Clubman provides a wide range of innovative driver assistance systems: MINI Head-Up projector, parking assistance system, reversing camera and Driving Assistant with active camera speed control assistant, collision warning and pedestrian collision warning with braking function, high beam assistant and traffic sign recognition system.... and on and on. So what we know about the centimeter-larger brothers from Bavaria, who lend technology to this brand.

Mini Clubman it is sufficiently unusual and at the same time practical that with its specialness it targets those who already liked it Countryman, but they wanted a slightly more "on_asphalt" mini with a bit more of that typical "mini" feeling. He is no longer the ugly duckling of the Mini family. It's just a little more special. Which is good.
