2016 Mini Clubman - exterior, specifications, price

In the network appeared the photos of absolutely new 2016 Mini Clubman, which is in the final stages of testing before its planned launch at the end of this year.

New Clubman differs significantly from quirky previous model. First of all, it is much bigger because it uses the same front-wheel drive platform as the BMW 2 Series. Judging from the concept 2016 Mini Clubman, shown at the Geneva show in 2014, the new car will be just over 4.2 meters in length — at 26 cm longer than the current Clubman — which makes it is the largest Mini. It is also a substantial 161 mm wider and 24 mm higher.

The composition of the Powertrain lineup includes a 2.0-liter diesel engine which can develop 150 horsepower, as well as two petrol engine with volume 1.5 l (134 hp) and 2.0 litre (192 hp). The engines aggregated with 6-speed automatic transmission or with the 8-speed automatic Aisin. With a diesel engine 2016 Mini Clubman accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 8.6 seconds. With the 2-liter petrol unit acceleration to 100 km/h takes 7.2 seconds, with a 1.5-liter — 9.1 seconds.

So far there is no news on pricing, but it is assumed that the entry-level model will cost at least 17,500 £.
