The 2023 MINI Clubman packs a lot of car into a little space. MINI retains the emotional appeal that has made the brand so beloved. The Base engine on the MINI Clubman is a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder with 189 horsepower. If performance is what you are after, the MINI Clubman John Cooper Works model is priority here it's mounted with a turbocharged 2-liter engine making 301 horsepower and 331 lb-ft. The Base Front-wheel drive Clubman Cooper S model comes standard with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and the ALL4 Cooper S and JCW model are upgraded to a new eight-speed auto transmission. This Clubman is built on a platform like the MINIs 4-door Cooper, which means it comes with four full-size doors. The Clubman also carries on the tradition of rear center-split "barn doors." These doors open to reveal 12.7 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold the rear seats down and it becomes 44.1 cubic feet. The usual MINI look and feel carries through the interior. The large center pod doesn't have a speedometer as seen in previous years models, but it does carry the vehicle's entertainment and navigation systems. Rounded corners, metal trim and toggle switches complete the MINI experience. Standard equipment includes 17" alloy wheels with run-flat performance tires, a rear lip spoiler, LED headlights and fog lights, heated mirrors and rain-sensing wipers. Standard inside is a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a proximity key with push button start, an 8.8-inch screen as well as all the usual power accessories.
