Long and wide as it is, the Clubman also looks like a Mini through and through. The ‘barn doors’ at the rear add distinction to the look and open to reveal a fair-sized luggage bay that can be extended by folding the rear seats down. Passenger space is good but not abundant and the Mini Clubman cabin is best described as cosy. The cabin does have a cool new-meets-retro vibe but you’ll need to tick a lot of costly options to bring it up to spec.
The Mini Clubman’s 192hp, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine is a joy. It’s eager, exciting and full of character. Adding to the fun is the Clubman’s handling. The Mini is pointy, and the feelsome steering and well-controlled body movements make it great to drive. The Clubman’s suspension is fairly pliant too but there’s a lot of road noise and you have to be careful on big potholes.
