Everybody wants to grow big and so does the cute little Mini. Officially revealed in flesh at the Frankfurt auto show, the new MINI clubman, managed to steal some attention even when placed among monster cars like the new Bugatti. New Mini Cooper Clubman car is bigger in terms of added fun and space. Better efficiency seems to be the icing on the cake. This new comer at Frankfurt will hit roads faster than the rest, launched here. Mini Clubman availability starts 31st of October, in UK.

With its characteristic split door at the back and four doors, the MINI Clubman offers more than you’d hope for. Who doesn’t love a car that provides enough space to carry a battalion? Mini Cooper Clubman 2015 is like a magician’s box that will fit everything in less space.
The new MINI clubman is 29 centimetres longer and 9 centimetres wider as compared to the MINI 5 door. The wheelbase is also extended by 10 centimetres. Its luggage compartment has a volume of 360l that can be extended to 1250l with its foldable seats.
We mentioned added fun, earlier, right? The MINI 2015 car houses an LED interior and ambient lighting. What’s cool is the projection of the MINI logo onto the ground from the exterior-mirror on the driver’s side when the car is opened and closed. Another fun feature is that the ‘Comfort Access’ option includes hands free opening of the split doors, at the rear.
This one is the more powerful one. The 4-cylinder petrol engine in the MINI Cooper S Clubman generates a decent 192 hp. While the MINI Cooper Clubman is powered by a 3-cylinder petrol engine with 136 hp.
These new Mini Copper 2015 cars availability starts Before Diwali. Price of Mini Copper Clubman will be revealed soon.
