A bigger take on the Mini

The 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman is a new, larger take on the Mini Cooper. If you love the styling of a Mini but need to fit children in the backseat or golf gear in the cargo hold, the 2016 Clubman is for you. The interior of the clubman starts fairly basic, but available features including genuine leather seats and a panoramic sunroof give you plenty of options. The 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman comes standard with a 134-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder, while a 189-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is available on the Cooper S trim.

5 reasons to buy the 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman

1. Distinct style 

If you love a bit of British flair and enjoy a good cuppa tea, the 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman is for you. The car comes standard with Mini’s distinct styling, including colored roof caps and exterior mirrors. You can even find a 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman with racing stripes or Union Jack exterior detailing.  

2. Functional space 

The 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman is a mini that isn’t quite so small, making it a great option if you have a family, a pet, or just need a bit of extra cargo space. The 2016 Clubman has 34 inches of legroom in the rear, plenty for kids and even car seats. The 17.5 cu-ft of cargo space is enough for strollers, groceries, and carry-on luggage, and the vertical van-style doors make loading easy.  

3. Rally-ready handling 

Channel your inner rally car driver with the outstanding handling on the 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman. Although the car is bigger than its Mini Cooper relatives, it’s still small and agile. Tight turning circles and responsive steering are handy whether you’re driving through city streets or testing your muster on a track. Available suspension dampers, a rear spoiler, and a sports steering wheel add to the race-ready feel.  

4. Unique interior 

Minis are recognizable from the outside, but the 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman is also packed with interesting interior touches. The 2016 Clubman channels a cockpit design, with a distinctive round infotainment area. Available leather seats and a panoramic sunroof add to the already engaging interior.  

5. Great audio systems 

Whether you’re on your way to the gym or driving to an important meeting, your hype-up playlist will sound great in the 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman. For the best sound, choose the 12-speaker Harman Kardon® sound system. Bluetooth® integration and a USB port come standard, so it’s easy to connect.
