The charm and fun of a MINI and the practicality of a family car. A used MINI Clubman bears all the qualities and characteristics of a typical MINI – sharp steering, punchy engine power – yet with more interior space than you might expect.
If you want a car with estate-like properties but in a more exciting package, the MINI Clubman will really appeal. It’s definitely a car that stands out, with distinctive styling – especially if you choose to personalise your Clubman, with options that include bonnet and roof stripes, and wing mirror caps.
The most notable design feature of the MINI Clubman is at the rear of the vehicle. The boot has barn-style doors, or as MINI calls them, easy open split rear doors for when you need to switch into ‘dog mode’.
Instead of opening upwards, the boot has split rear doors that open outwards – making it easy for the family dog to access the 360-litre area. No dog? No problem – it’s also a simpler way to get into the boot when you’re stashing luggage.
Inside, the interior styling on the dashboard is dominated by the classic MINI oversized dial, which displays information clearly and simply. Newer used MINI Clubman models have an 8.8-inch touch screen as standard – depending on the age of the vehicle, other models have a 6.5-inch screen.
The infotainment system is operated via a rotary controller, positioned in the centre console and can include sat nav and MINI Connected, which provides access to a package of features. Newer models also come with Apple CarPlay.
Some safety systems are only available as options, so when you’re viewing a used MINI Clubman for sale, check the specs to see if the particular model you’re looking at comes with the Driving Assistant Pack. Parking sensors do come as standard, as does Autonomous Emergency Braking.
