MINI Cooper Clubman Model Years and History

For 2024, the Mini Clubman carries over with minimal changes.

For 2023, the Mini Clubman carries over with minimal changes.

For 2022, the Mini Clubman carries over with minimal changes, an 8.8-inch touchscreen is now standard on all trims.

For 2021, the Mini Clubman carries over with minimal changes.

For 2020, the Mini Clubman receives a few additions and shuffling of features. Clubman models now sport an updated front-end design that includes a new grille and LED headlights and fog lights. As well as more power and a new transmission for the John Cooper Works Model.

For 2019 the MINI Clubman receives a few additions and shuffling of features this year. Clubman models now sport an updated badging scheme as well as the capability for MINI Telematics/MINI Connected services with vehicle diagnostics, SOS requests, remote lock/unlock, stolen vehicle recovery, concierge and real time traffic data.

For 2018 the Mini Clubman receives a few additions adding real value to the lineup. A rearview camera and backup sensors now come standard along with a driver-assist system called Attentive Assistant that recognizes and alerts the driver to take a pit stop. Apple CarPlay is now added to the available Technology Package.

The big news for the MINI Clubman in 2017 is the addition of an all-wheel drive system. The MINI Cooper Clubman ALL4 ditches front-wheel drive in favor of splitting power between the front and rear wheels. The addition of all-wheel drive leads to significantly increased traction and a better car for anyone who lives where snowfall is a real hazard. The ALL4 system is only offered on the more powerful Cooper S model for this year and adds a little less than $2000 to the price of the front-wheel drive Clubman S.

After a year off, the MINI Clubman returns completely redesigned for 2016. The new Clubman is bigger than any that came before. While it maintains the original's rear center-split doors, little else has stayed the same. The new Clubman greets buyers with four full-size doors, two engine choices and 48 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats down. Maintaining MINI's attention to driving personality, the new Clubman is about as much fun as can be had driving a station wagon.

The MINI Cooper Clubman is mostly unchanged for 2014. A new City package comes with power-folding heated mirrors, parking sensors, alarm and proximity sensor.

The MINI cooper is mostly unchanged for 2013, save for a few details. The base price has been given a modest bump with models costing about $200 dollars more than last year and Bluetooth connectivity is now standard across all model ranges. The high performance John Cooper Works version also receives a few changes to its engine, providing a slight bump in power.

2012 sees only minor updates to the MINI Cooper, most of which are related to customization options. Debuting this year is the "MINI Yours" feature, which includes an array of additional interior and exterior color and upholstery options. Other MINI Yours features include a leather instrument panel cover, 2-tone steering wheel and 17-inch wheels for the Cooper and Cooper S. All Coopers have been given an optional new interior mirror with compass, and hardtop Coopers get new 15-inch wheels.

MINI has upped power output from its pair of engines. The Cooper's 1.6L 4-cylinder now produces 121 hp, while the turbocharged Cooper S ups its power to 181 hp. The S now includes an overboost function, which increases torque momentarily from 177 lb-feet to 192 lb-feet. All MINI models receive updated styling to the front and rear, with new bumpers, fog lights, and taillights. Xenon headlights are now optional. Inside, previously silver trim pieces are now matte black and HD radio and a one-year subscription to satellite radio are now standard.

Two new packages are available for 2010. Intended to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the MINI name, the Mayfair and Camden packages feature unique alloy wheels, special paint and popular options. They are both available on both the Cooper and Cooper S models.

For 2009, MINI returns its popular Cooper in all its forms--2-door hardtop, convertible, and Clubman wagon. While the hardtop received a redesign in 2007 and the Clubman adopted that car's second-generation styling on its 2008 introduction, the convertible gets its facelift for 2009. Styling is in keeping with the rest of the MINI lineup. The most exciting new addition for 2009 is the John Cooper Works package, currently available on the hardtop and Clubman, with convertible availability likely coming later in the year. The John Cooper Works ups the performance capability of the MINI with a 207-hp version of the MINI's 1.6L 4-cylinder engine, bigger disc brakes, a stiffer sport suspension and 17-inch alloys. The JCW hardtop starts at $28,550, while the JCW Clubman is priced at $30,800.

All new for 2008, the Clubman represents the third model line for the MINI brand. Designed to exhibit all the handling characteristics of the highly revered Cooper, the Clubman is built on the same platform with a three-inch longer wheelbase and six-inch longer rear overhang. The lengthened body does little to diminish what can best be described as go-kart-like handling, but does translate to more comfortable seating for rear passengers and a larger, more practical cargo area. Standard and optional equipment mirror those of the Cooper and Cooper S hatchbacks, so with a slightly higher base price, one gets all the fun of a regular Cooper in a more user-friendly package.
