The Mini Clubman takes the styling, character, and engaging driving dynamics of the Mini Cooper and adds some practicality. Its wagon-like body with four doors and swing-out “barn doors” in the back makes the Clubman practical, but it doesn’t sacrifice the fun, go-kart-like driving experience associated with the brand.
The Mini Clubman is a unique car with few direct rivals. You could compare it to subcompact luxury cars like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz A-Class, but its wagon-like body makes the Clubman unlike anything else.
There are two distinct trims of the Mini Clubman, which both have a few sub-trims available, starting with the Classic, which is the base version. Moving up to the Signature sub-trim adds a panoramic moonroof and heated front seats. The more luxurious Iconic sub-trim has more aesthetic options, a head-up display, and leather upholstery.
Let’s look at the two trims of the Mini Clubman and find the right one for you.
2023 Mini Clubman S (starting at $29,900)
The 2023 Mini Clubman S starts at $29,900.
The base S model of the Mini Clubman is the best value for most shoppers. It has an excellent balance of engaging performance and premium features at a reasonable price.
Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine producing 189 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard, and a dual-clutch automatic transmission is optional. The Clubman S gets 25 city/35 highway mpg with the automatic transmission and 23 city/33 highway mpg with the manual.
Front-wheel drive is standard on the Mini Clubman S. The ALL4 all-wheel-drive system is an extra $3,000. Sorry, purists, you can’t get the manual transmission with AWD. The ALL4 model gets 23 city/32 highway mpg.
Standard features in the Clubman S include three drive modes (Sport, Mid, Green), dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a digital instrument display, ambient lighting, and an 8.8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay.
Standard safety features in the Clubman include Active Driving Assistant with lane-departure warning and forward-collision warning, a backup camera, rear parking sensors, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, and eight airbags.
Upgrading to the Signature sub-trim opens up more aesthetic customization options, plus a panoramic moonroof, a folding cargo floor, and Comfort Access keyless entry.
The Iconic sub-trim makes the Clubman more luxurious with leather seats, navigation, wireless charging, a head-up display, a Harman/Kardon premium audio system, and even more customization options.
When you apply the $850 destination fee, the starting price of the Clubman comes to $30,750. Assuming a 60-month loan at 3% interest, it has a starting monthly payment of about $553. See 2023 Mini Clubman S models for sale near you
