As the MINI brand evolves and expands its product offerings to show-off a more mature and refined side, it’ll be led by cars such as the all-new 2016 Clubman. For the first time in the Clubman’s 47 year history it has been developed as a separate model from the MINI Cooper Hardtop with an advancement in premium quality and craftsmanship. Moving into a larger class of compact vehicle, the Clubman is longer and wider with particular attention given to the comfort of rear-seat passengers while cargo room can be significantly expanded by fold-flat rear seats. An optional foot-activated sensor allows the split-rear doors to open even when one’s hands are full.
