Mini Clubman Cars
The Mini Clubman is a stylish and spacious wagon that offers practicality without sacrificing the fun-to-drive experience that is synonymous with the Mini brand. Its distinctive split rear doors not only add character to its exterior design, but also make loading and unloading cargo much easier.
Under the hood, the Clubman offers two engine options: a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine and a more powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Both are turbocharged and offer plenty of power for everyday driving in New Zealand conditions. The Clubman also comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, although an eight-speed automatic is available as an option.
Inside, the Clubman impresses with its quality materials and attention to detail. The dashboard layout is reminiscent of other Mini models, with a large central display screen and toggle switches for various functions. The seats are comfortable and supportive, and there is plenty of headroom and legroom for both front and rear passengers.
One of the standout features of the Clubman is its practicality. With a total cargo capacity of 360 liters with the rear seats up and 1,250 liters with them folded down, it offers more space than many other small wagons on the market. This makes it ideal for families or those who need to carry large items on occasion.
Another key selling point for New Zealand drivers is its handling. The Clubman’s compact size makes it easy to maneuver through tight city streets, while its nimble suspension ensures that it handles corners with ease. It also has good ground clearance making it suitable for New Zealand's diverse terrain including off-road trails.
In terms of safety features, all Clubman models come standard with multiple airbags, stability control, traction control, hill-start assist, and rear parking sensors - important features considering our high accident rate compared to other countries.
Overall, the Mini Clubman is an excellent choice for those who want style, practicality, and fun-to-drive dynamics all in one package. It’s perfect for city driving but still versatile enough to handle longer journeys or outdoor activities throughout New Zealand's unique landscapes .
