MINI Clubman On The Move

Here’s a clip of the forthcoming MINI Clubman on the move. See below for further details of the new model.
The suicide door has been renamed as a “the Club Doorâ€, and there’s some very nifty mechanics involved in arranging the third rear seat safety belt, which is exclusively for smaller passengers weighing less than 50kg.
The Clubman Cooper Diesel will weigh in at 80kg more than it’s hatchback brother, the Cooper S puts on 75kg in Cooper S form, whereas the base Cooper at 1220kg gains 80kg.
When it comes to performance, the Clubman Cooper is .7 seconds slower in the 0-62mph drag, whereas the Cooper S and D are impressively only half a second slower. This means the Cooper S remains under 8 seconds 0-62 mph, even in with an automatic transmission.
The Clubman wheel base and overall dimensions are, of course, larger than the MINI. The wheelbase is increased by 80mm to 2547mm. The luggage capacity is increased by 100 litres to 260 litres. With the seats folded this increases to 930 litres, a full 250 litres more than the hatchback.
