Vehicle Overview
Mini stretched the length of its Cooper hardtop by about 9 inches to make the four-seat Cooper Clubman. The extra length creates more legroom for the Clubman’s two rear passengers, and cargo room behind the backseat is larger. There’s a pair of split-opening rear doors that swing out to either side, rather than the regular Cooper’s conventional hatchback. There’s also a rear-hinged access door on the passenger side.
The Clubman comes in two trim levels: Cooper and turbocharged Cooper S. It competes with sporty hatchbacks ranging from the Mazda3 to Volkswagen Golf.
