Mini Clubman production comes to an end with the Final Edition



(March 23, 2023) MUNICH,  Germany — In 1969, the first Mini Clubman made a clear statement, which designer Roy Haynes put in these words: "The impression that only ugly things can be functional has disappeared." The exceptional car with style caused a sensation from the start between 1969 and 1981 with its characteristic split doors at the rear. At that time, the Mini Clubman conquered the automotive market as a station wagon with a long wheelbase and extended shooting-brake body.



For the new edition from 2007, the Mini Clubman delivered a modern interpretation of the classic shooting-brake concept. For access to the rear, there is only one door on the right side of the vehicle, which opens to the rear. With the third model generation from 2015, the Mini Clubman grew again to now 167 inches in length and became more spacious and comfortable thanks to the longer wheelbase and two full-sized rear side doors, resembling a station wagon.



Together with the unique split rear doors, the Mini Clubman remains one of the most versatile Mini models to date. The spacious load opening makes it easy to load the luggage compartment, which currently holds up to 44 cubic feet. Now limited to 1,969 units, the Final Edition cites the year in which the legendary Mini Clubman was created and combines the specific brand tradition with exclusive design elements and strong characteristics.




The 178 hp Mini Cooper S Clubman Final Edition has always stood for driving dynamics, style and comfort. As a special edition, it is available in Nanuq White, Enigmatic Black and Melting Silver and is available as a Cooper, Cooper S, the respective diesel variants or with all-wheel drive.

With charismatic details in the color Shimmer Copper, the limited edition refers to the design history of the exceptional talent. The surrounds and the upper third of the radiator grille crossbar are in the shimmering edition color, as are the model-typical Mini Cooper S Blade and the side scuttles. The graphic pattern on the 18-inch light-alloy wheels in the Final Edition Spoke 2- tone design is also finished in a tinted clear lacquer reMiniscent of copper, giving the hue an elegant shimmering depth.



In the lower area of the side doors, Mini-typical narrow lines accentuate the elongated body of the iconic shooting-brake concept. They are also found on the passenger side of the hood and on the right side of the split doors.



Here, the "Final Edition" lettering indicates the special edition, as does the "1 of 1969" badge on the side of the C-pillar. The Union Jack taillights refer to the British origins of the Mini Clubman.
