With a newly modified design, the latest technology and hallmark MINI
driving fun, the new MINI Clubman has received fresh exterior and
interior design changes for 2019.
Ride comfort, space and versatility characterise the new MINI
Clubman which establishes a distinctive new style within the compact
segment. There is a choice of two petrol engines and one diesel
engine, with output ranging from 126hp to 192hp (combined fuel
consumption: 43.5 – 70.6mpg; combined CO2 emissions: 147 – 105 g/km).
The extremely sporty MINI John Cooper Works Clubman will join the
range at a later date.
Expressive and powerful: new distinctive front design.
The body design of the new MINI Clubman is unique in its
segment. The vehicle’s distinctive proportions, elongated roof line
and split rear doors make a style statement whilst providing
outstanding versatility. The luggage compartment can be extended from
360 litres to as much as 1,250 litres with the rear seats folded.
The unique body is combined with MINI brand design cues. At the
front of the vehicle these include the domed bonnet, the circular
headlamps – of which the surrounds are in chrome as standard and the
hexagonal contour of the grille.
The most striking design feature of the new MINI Clubman is the
newly designed grille, which now extends across the entire bumper.
With a new structure for the air inlet, it gives the front view a
particularly distinctive appearance. The grille is bordered by a slim
frame produced from a single piece.
The air inlet is separated into six black, horizontal struts,
which can be optionally upgraded to a chrome version as part of the
Exclusive trim style.
The MINI Cooper S Clubman has an exclusive hexagonal grid
pattern instead of the horizontal struts and individual chrome strut
in the air inlet, as well as the letters chrome-plated emblem with a
red “S” at the centre.
Variable illumination intensity, dazzle-free long beam:
adaptive LED headlights with Matrix function.
The distinguishing look of the new MINI Clubman from the front
is enhanced by the modified design of the circular headlamps. The LED
headlamps includes LED modules for low and high beam, which generate
enhanced brightness, and a shield that is also finished in black. A
white ring of light surrounding the headlamps serves both as daytime
driving light and turn indicator. In addition, LED fog lamps are
standard on this model as well.
The adaptive LED headlamps with Matrix function automatically
adapt their brightness to the situation on the road and are available
as an individual option. In urban traffic and when visibility is
limited, the side area of the road is illuminated more intensely by
adding the dimmed turning light.
The adaptive LED headlamps offered on MINI Clubman now feature
an automatic selective dip function for high beam. Their innovative
Matrix technology for high beam enables the visibility range to be
increased while at the same time avoiding any dazzle effect for other
road users. The high beam is subdivided into four segments which can
be activated and deactivated independently of each other by the front
camera and adapted to the situation on the road at speeds of over 45mph.
LED rear lights as standard.
The new MINI Clubman is fitted as standard with LED rear lights.
The light units with chrome surround are now integrated in the wings
of the split door. In conjunction with the optional LED headlamps or
the adaptive LED headlamps, the horizontally oriented rear lights
feature a horizontal turn signal and vertical brake lamp.
Fresh look with new body finishes.
Three new exterior colours are available to choose from launch. The new MINI Clubman is now available in Indian Summer Red metallic, British Racing Green metallic or MINI Yours Enigmatic Black metallic. As an alternative to body colour, the roof and exterior mirror caps can also be finished in either black, white or silver.
Depending on the model variant, the new MINI Clubman is fitted
as standards with either 16-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels. 18-inch and
19-inch alloy wheels are available.
New additions to the range include 18-inch Multiray Spoke 2-tone
and MINI Yours British Spoke 2-tone, along with 19-inch John Cooper
Works Circuit Spoke 2-tone design.
An entirely new sports suspension is also now available and
offers a 10 millimetre height reduction, further optimising the
vehicle’s agile driving response.
There is also the option of an adaptive suspension. This enables
the driver to choose between two characteristic curves for the damper
set-up via the MINI Driving Modes toggle switch – one setup geared for
comfort, and the other for a sportier driving style.
Classic, Sport or Exclusive: pick the trim that incorporates
all your needs.
The new MINI Clubman offers a high level of standard features,
including MINI Navigation on a 6.5” display, Real Time Traffic
Information (RTTI) and Apple CarPlay. Also standard are rain sensors
and automatic headlight activation, the interior lights package and
the MINI Excitement pack which includes MINI logo projection,
illuminated door handles and LED mood light
MINI Connected Services are also standard, as well as
Intelligent Emergency Call (E-Call) and Bluetooth. Heli-Spoke alloy
wheels and Firework Cloth seats in Carbon Black complete the Classic offering.
In addition, for those wanting a more powerful looking MINI
Clubman, the Sport style adds a John Cooper Works Sports steering
wheel, John Cooper Works sports seats and 17” John Cooper Works Track
Spoke alloy wheels as standard. For further personalisation, customers
can upgrade to a full leather John Cooper Works sport seat or Cross
Punch leather seat and 19” John Cooper Works Course Spoke alloy on
Cooper S models.
Completing the trio of styles, Exclusive offers customers the
option of additional luxury. With 17” Roulette Spoke alloys, MINI
Yours leather steering wheel and MINI Yours Leather Lounge sports
seats as standard, this style ensures a sophisticated presence both
inside and outside the vehicle. Additional leather options include
Satellite Grey and Indigo Blue.
Drive: three engines, and two transmissions.
The engine portfolio for the new MINI Clubman includes a
3-cylinder and 4-cylinder petrol engine along with one 4-cylinder
diesel engine, all of which feature the latest generation of MINI
TwinPower Turbo Technology.
Instead of the standard 6-speed manual transmission, a 7-speed
Steptronic transmission with double clutch is optionally available for
the MINI Cooper Clubman and the MINI Cooper S Clubman. A 7-speed
Steptronic sports transmission is also optionally available for the
MINI Cooper S Clubman.

* Preliminary technical data. Fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption were measured using the methods required according to Regulation (EC) 2007/715 as amended. The information is based on a vehicle with basic equipment in Germany; ranges take into account differences in wheel and tyre size selected as well as optional equipment and can change during configuration.
The information has already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle and adapted to NEDC for comparison purposes. In these vehicles, different figures than those published here may apply for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions.
For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the "Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars" available free of charge at all sales outlets, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
