The first impression of this new 2008 Mini Clubman 5 doors is it has a longer wheelbase. The 3.1 inches extra provides that much more capacity compare to its counterparts, also allowing easy loading capabilities to the owner.
Though pricing has yet to be announced, officials say buyers can opt for the turbocharged or the regular 1.6L engine. The NA version cranks 120hp and 118lb-ft torque while the turbocharged version, also known as Clubman S, produces 175hp and 177lb-ft torque.
For the European market, we will see diesel base engines that produces 110hp and 177lb-ft torque.
All Clubman models will have either a 6 speed manual transmission or 6 speed auto transmission.
This small but powerful mini will be on sale coming 2008.
