Back in June last year, the Mini Clubman first made its global debut. This time around, the new model is all set for its India launch on December 15. The Mini Clubman will be the fresh addition to the existing Cooper range and the Countryman in India. The vehicle is a longer version of the Cooper hatchback and also the largest one in Mini’s portfolio with a conventional four-door design.
Under the hood, the upcoming Mini Clubman will be offered in 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engine options. The petrol variant will generate around 189bhp, while the diesel is stated to produce 148bhp of power. As for dimensions, the vehicle gets an additional 100mm wheelbase at 2,670mm, 270mm longer at 4,253mm and about 90mm wider at 1,800mm than the Mini Cooper S. The vehicle will offer boot capacity of about 360-litres which can be further expanded to 1,250-litres.
As for the design, the front section gets a new grille, redesigned headlamps and a new bumper. For a classic appeal, the rear comes with two-door boot lid along with chrome handles. As for the interior, the automaker might offer optional customisation pack, while in terms of safety and convenience one can expect to see features like electronic parking brake and electric seat adjustment. Bookings for the vehicle might start soon and the vehicle is anticipated to be priced between Rs 40 lakh – Rs 45 lakh.
