Overview
The 2018 Mini Clubman Hatchback is a subcompact hatchback offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $24,800. For that price, it mainly competes with the Chevrolet Sonic hatchback, the Fiat 500 hatchback, and the least powerful among the bunch, i.e. Kia Rio hatchback. Between 2 trims, the Clubman offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 1.5L Turbo Inline-3 capable of making 134 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 189 horsepower-making 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 engine. Both engines are mated to a standard 6-speed manual transmission. Furthermore, the former engine can also be connected to an optional 6-speed automatic transmission whereas the latter offers 2 optional 8-speed automatic transmissions. The Clubman reaches 60 mph from zero in 9.5 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 7.0 seconds with the 2.0L engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Clubman can manage a combined fuel economy between 25 and 28 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 12 striking colors the Clubman comes in really pull you towards itself.
