2018 MINI COOPER

The Clubman is a Mini thats grown up, both in size and in ethos. This is the biggest, most family-friendly car in the firms line-up, but it still preserves some of that essential Mini character. That makes it very appealing indeed. The latest Clubman does a very different job to the previous one, because with the latest line-up of Mini models, that job is already done by the Mini five-door. To that end, the Clubman has got much bigger, taking the car into new territory, territory currently occupied by cars like the Audi A3 Sportback and Mercedes A-Class. It has the style to compete, with the circular headlamps and hexagonal grille that are a staple part of any Mini models design. The horizontal light clusters on the back are thoroughly distinctive in Minis range, but the intricate detailing looks cool, and the lines of the car look less awkward than those of its predecessor. Theres been another important change, too. On the old Clubman, there was only one rear door that was positioned on the wrong side of the car, so if you parked up at the roadside, you had to eject your children into the flow of traffic. Thankfully, the latest Clubman gets a door on either side to rectify this, but it keeps the two side-hinged boot doors to give you access to the boot. Essentially, and unusually, this is a six-door car. The cabin will feel very familiar to existing Mini customers, with a dinner-plate-sized central display and various toggle switches to give a funky, retro feel. With the latest Minis, however, style has not been achieved at the expense of ergonomics, and everything is pretty easy to find and use. Thats due, in no small part, to the infotainment system thats derived from BMWs excellent iDrive arrangement. The Clubman comes with a decent amount of safety kit as standard, including six airbags, clever stability systems, Isofix child seat mounting points and tyre pressure monitoring.
