You can’t have one too MINI!

-

One of the unique selling points of the MINI Clubman is its styling. With so many snazzy hatchbacks and estate cars to choose from, it’s nice to have that extra little bit of choice and with two rear doors the Clubman offers just that.

Long gone is the escape door set-up that looked so out of place. Instead the Clubman offers four-door practicali­ty with ample room for a couple of adults in the rear seats with bags of leg, head and shoulder space.

Then there is the storage – the Clubman can accommodat­e 360 litres worth of luggage and that capacity is increased to a very generous 1,250 litres with the rear seats dropped flat.

In addition, there is a glovebox, side pockets, cup holders and a central storage bin.

And when it comes to performanc­e, the Clubman can proudly hold its head high within the MINI ranks. Admittedly, there are faster and more dynamicall­y-appealing MINI models out there, but the quirkiness of the Clubman along with great road-holding and fabulous handling capabiliti­es make it a notable all-rounder.

The accelerati­on is swift through the sixspeed manual gearbox and the cabin remains nicely insulated against outside noise. The highly efficient suspension system irons out the road creases and there is plenty of driver feedback with precise steering.

The seats and steering wheel can easily be adjusted to find the perfect driving position and all dials, controls and instrument­ation is perfectly placed for driver usability.

MINI has also packed the car with safety features, which combined with its practical dimensions, comprehens­ive array of connectivi­ty features and stylish design make it an ideal family car for anyone who likes to stand out from the crowd.
