MINI Clubman 2016 (16) - 1.5 Cooper Estate 6dr Petrol Manual Euro 6 (s/s) (136 ps) 5-Door

Insurance Group 17, Estates dont come much smaller or weirder than the MINI Clubman. From some angles it looks to be little more than a longer version of the five-door MINI Hatch, but the more time you spend drinking in its unusual looks you realise its also wider, has a much longer roof and six doors. Six? Yes, as a nod to the original 1960s estates based on the first Minis, access to the boot is via a pair of side-hinged doors, each with a tiny windscreen wiper.In reality, youre unlikely to confuse the Clubman for any other car on the road, yet to drive it feels reassuringly MINI-like. In second-generation form, the Clubmans styling sits atop a body that is practical - certainly in MINI terms, at least. Indeed, youd need to step up to the Countryman SUV to get a bigger, more practical package from the brand. Despite being owned by the German firm BMW, newer MINI models are loaded up with Union flag-inspired detailing. The most striking of these can be found in the Clubmans taillights introduced as part of the 2019 facelift, which mimic a quarter of the flag in crisp-edged LEDs. Theres little doubting that theyre a divisive feature with many loving them while others find them naff. For those who fall into the latter camp, theres no option to fit the previous simpler design.Up front the headlamps have been revised so that the LED day-running lights form a complete, unbroken loop of illumination, doubling as flashing amber indicators. Inside there were fewer modifications, the dashboard feeling suitably upmarket and high quality, with a wide array of trim finishes and colours to make it feel a little more you. Currently, the Clubman line-up is the most pared down its ever been. The diesel-engined Cooper D and Cooper SD are no more, while the All4 four-wheel drive versions have also been discontinued, except for the most expensive Clubman. Petrol-powered Cooper and Cooper S models now form the core of the range. The former has a 136hp 1.5-litre engine, the latter a 178hp 2.0-litre powerplant. Both are available with a choice of manual and automatic transmissions. Each is then also available with a choice of three packages that alter the styling and equipment levels. Topping the Clubman range is the 306hp John Cooper Works, or JCW for short. It looks suitably pumped-up and has the performance to rival the best hot hatchbacks - 0-62mph taking just 4.9 seconds, for instance. Automatic transmission and four-wheel drive are standard here to make its pace as acces.16in Alloy Wheels - Revolite, 18in Alloy Wheels - Star Spoke Silver, 3 Point Seatbelts on all Seats, 3rd Brake Light - Red, ABS - Antilock Braking System including CBC - Cornering Brake Control, Air Conditioning - Automatic Dual Zone, Air Conditioning - Manual, Airbags, Alarm and Immobiliser - Thatcham CAT 1, Automatic Door Window Lowering by Approx 6mm When Door Opens, Bluetooth Hands Free Function with USB Audio, Body Coloured Fuel Filler Cap in Rear Right Side Panel - Linked to Central Locking, Brake Pad Wear Indicator, Child Seat ISOFIX Attachment, CHILI Pack, Chrome Bezels around Rear Lights and Headlights, Cloth-Leather Combination Cord - Carbon Black, Cockpit Facia Frame in Hazy Grey and Cockpit Facia in Piano Black Twill, Comfort Access System, Condition Based Service, Crash Sensor, Cruise Control with Brake Function, Cupholders - Two in Front, DAB Tuner, Darkened Rear Glass, Daytime Running Lights, Decorative Rings Surrounding Round Instruments in Chrome Plated, Door Handles - Chrome Plated, Door Sill Finishers - Metal Look and Model Dependent Lettering, DTC - Dynamic Traction Control with EDLC - Electronic Differential Lock Control, Dynamic Brake Lights, Dynamic Stability Control - DSC, Electronic Parking Brake, Embellisher at Bottom Edge of All Windows - Chrome Plated, Exhaust Tailpipe - Visible - Single - Right with Chrome Finisher, Exterior Mirrors - Aspheric on Drivers Side - Electrically Adjustable, External Visible VIN, Floor Mats, Foldable Rear Backrest 60-40, Follow Me Home Function, Front Centre Armrest, Front Fog Lights, Front Fog Lights - LED, Front Passenger ISOFIX and Airbag De-Activation Switch, Fuel Pump Automatic Cut-Off in Crash Situation, Gearshift-Selector Lever and Handrake Lever Gaiters in Sensatec, Halogen Lights for Low Beam and High Beam Headlights, Headlight - Beam-Throw Control Electrical with Manual Adjustment, Headliner - Satellite Grey, Headrests For All Seats - Manually Adjustable, Heated Mirrors and Windscreen Washer Jets, Heated Rear Window with Automatic Deactivation, Heater with Mechanical Control and Recirculating-Air Button, Intelligent Emergency Calling - E-Call, Interior Door Handles - Chrome Plated, Interior Light Pack, Interior Lighting Integrated into Centre Front Headliner Above Interior Mirror, Interior Mirror - Mechanical Anti-Dazzle, Interior Trim - Hazy Grey, Lashing Eyes in Luggage Compartment, LED Headlights and Daytime Running Lights and Tail Lights, Locking System with Central Locking, Luggage
