The MINI Clubman is the British brand’s small estate car – it aims to offer the same stylish appeal and entertaining handling as the smaller hatchback models in MINI's range but in a more spacious, practical and versatile package. It’s similar to the likes of the Ford Focus Estate or Volkswagen Golf Estate when it comes to carrying capacity. Find your perfect lease deal at Vanarama today.
A small estate version of the popular MINI hatchback.
Strong performance from turbocharged petrol engines.
Retains the quirky styling and fun-to-drive nature of the hatch.
As this is an estate version of the MINI, you get greater practicality with the Clubman than the hatchbacks. Boot capacity is 360 litres, which is well up on the 3-door hatchback’s 211-litre figure. The twin ‘barn doors’ used to access the boot are unique and very effective in offering a wide, unobstructed boot opening. Just remember you always need to close the left-hand one before the right-hand one!
The MINI Clubman should be affordable to run – especially in entry-level Cooper form, which can return up to 47mpg if driven gently. The more powerful Cooper S maxes out at 42mpg, so the difference isn’t huge, particularly if you’re not racking up mega mileage. The range-topping JCW can theoretically manage 38mpg, but it’s likely you’ll be having so much fun driving it fast that you probably won’t quite hit that number.
For those that aren’t interested in the premium badge cars, the Dacia Logan MCV Stepway is worth considering. It prioritises practicality above all else, similar to the Clubman but without some of the luxury.
All MINIs these days are built with technology and platforms from the BMW Group, so everything should be pretty dependable and high quality. Owners have backed up this impression, rating the brand’s cars highly in major industry customer satisfaction surveys.
The Clubman can take 360 litres of luggage with all seats in place, rising to 1,250 litres if you fold down the back seats.
The range starts with the Classic, while the Sport and Exclusive are effectively parallel trim levels – the Sport unsurprisingly goes for a sporty look while the Exclusive prioritises style and luxury. The JCW is the range-topping high-performance model.
Yes, parking sensors are standard across the range, which is handy for quite a long car like this.
It’s more practical than the MINI hatchback models, but not quite as spacious inside as a more conventional family-hatchback-based estate car like the Skoda Octavia Estate or SEAT Leon ST.
Leasing a MINI is a very popular choice, because they combine head-turning looks, a cheeky ‘Cool Britannia’ character and excellent handling, as well as being reasonably practical and affordable to run. In short, they’re superb all-rounders – and the Clubman is even more so thanks to its estate body shape.
