(September 28, 2015) WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. — Mini USA has announced pricing for its all-new 2016 Mini Clubman with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $24,950 including destination charge for the Cooper model. What Mini officials call the most spacious and versatile Mini every built, the Clubman is the first Mini to enter the compact premium segment.

It is both longer and wider than previous Mini models and offers premium quality and craftsmanship in every detail for under $25,000. The Cooper S variant will start at $28,500. 

“The premium quality and value of the new Mini Clubman will set the standard for the premium compact segment going forward,” said Patrick McKenna, department head, Product Planning & Events, Mini USA. “Mini defined the premium small car segment with the relaunch of the Hardtop back in 2002 and the new Clubman will help us redefine the notion of "premium" with nearly bespoke levels of customization."



Like every Mini model in the product line up, all options are available a la carte, as well as in bundled packages. This means customers can decide to pay for only what they select and are not forced into more expensive packages that include equipment they don’t want or need. The new Mini Clubman also features a number of special upholsteries that have been developed specifically for the vehicle, including a smooth-grained Indigo blue-dyed leather with diamond-stitching in the pattern of classic English Chesterfield sofas, and a rich Burgundy leather with environmentally friendly Dinamica trim.

While the new Mini Clubman is longer and wider than any other Mini model, the newest member of the Mini family endured extensive testing on the Nürburgring in Germany, the Circuit of Miramas in France and the Millbrook Proving Ground in the UK, as well as the legendary roads of Wales. This testing was conducted to ensure that the new Mini Clubman maintained the legendary “fun to drive” handling that enthusiasts expect on the road.

The new Mini Clubman will be powered by BMW Group-developed three- and four-cylinder Mini TwinPower Turbo Technology engines, and like all Mini models and trims, will come standard with an efficient six-speed manual transmission. Meanwhile, the Cooper S variant will offer an optional 8-speed automatic or 8-speed sport automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

This high tech and efficient sporty transmission is not only a first for Mini, but also a rarity in the segment.
