The Mini Cooper is a car that has a reputation.  Ever since the original The Italian Job, these little cars have made quite an impression in Britain and worldwide.  There have been a lot of great developments with the Mini Cooper over the years, and it has certainly developed a culture of its own.  This is what is known about the 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman with the Release Date, Specs, Review, and Price. 

In 2014, there was an unveiling of the 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman concept car at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.  In between that time, Mini has released the 4 Door Hardtop, which was a four-door version of its shorter brother, according to Release Date Price.  The 2016 Mini Clubman will also have four doors, unlike its first generation, and will be built on the UKL platform. 

According to 2016 Car Models, the Mini Clubman will have a more spacious cabin with interiors of carefully selected fine materials which will be very attractive and colorful.  In addition to that, there will also be a user-friendly control panel in the front with an LCD in a circular shape. 

Now let's get to the engine specs.  I'll start by saying that it will have 6 speed automatic or manual transmission, a buyer's choice.  The Clubman will have a 1.5 liter powerful 3 cylinder engine, which will deliver a horsepower of up to 134 and 162 pound lb-ft of torque.  Also included is a boost function with which up to 169 pound feet of torque can be generated as an output.  In fact, there will also be another engine option in the trim model, which is a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine to generate an output of 189 horsepower and up to 206 pound feet of torque, going up to 221. 

As far as details go, the Clubman could be very similar to the Hardtop.  The back traveler doors could be a bit longer compared to the 4 Door Hardtop, and the Clubman might also have a longer back payload compartment as well.  Of course that front fascia will be unique, just to make certain it doesn't get confused with the hardtops. 

You should expect the price of the Mini Clubman to cost around $24,000, which will increase according to what features and accessories are chosen.  It will be available in Red, Blue, and Black colors and should arrive in the first two months of 2016.  Some sources are speculating in late 2015, so keep an eye out for the 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman.
