2022 MINI Clubman

Mini offers the Clubman in three trims: Classic, Signature, and Iconic. All-wheel drive is also available. Prices range from $30,750 for a bare-bones model to $48,250 for a fully-loaded John Cooper Works decked out in the Iconic trim.

Two engines fill out the Clubman arsenal, and both are turbocharged four-cylinders displacing 2,0 liters. The standard powerplant puts out 189 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque, which can be routed through one of three transmissions depending on the drivetrain.

With front-wheel drive, it's your choice of a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic; all-wheel-drive versions are exclusively paired with an eight-speed automatic.

The John Cooper Works (JCW) engine is a bit more gnarly. It lays out 301 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic and is only available with all-wheel drive. Mini quotes a 0-60 mph time of 4.6 seconds.

The Mini Clubman seats five, but the small 168-inch total length makes for tight quarters. The rear seat only has 34 inches of legroom. That's about right for its size, but buyers who want Mini fun with more space might want to consider the larger Mini Countryman. It has 37 inches of legroom.

Cargo space in the Clubman is 48 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, which again is about right for its size. With the rear seats upright, 17 cubic feet of cargo space is available. Split-folding rear seats are only standard on the top trim, unfortunately.

New for 2022 is standard lane-departure warning, which joins automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and rear parking sensors. Stepping up to the top Iconic trim buys adaptive cruise control, park assist, and a head-up display.

The Clubman hasn't been crash-tested by either the government or the IIHS.

An 8.8-inch touchscreen is now found on all trims of the Clubman. It comes with SiriusXM, Bluetooth, and two USB ports. If you want Apple CarPlay, you have to buy the Iconic trim, which also gets navigation as well. Android Auto users will have to wait for a future update before they can enjoy smartphone compatibility - it isn't available on any trim for any price.

The base Clubman S starts things off with front-wheel drive and the choice of a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic or a six-speed manual. In the standard Classic configuration, it gets features such as LED lights, leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and six-speaker audio. The exterior benefits from 17-inch wheels and fog lights. This is the only trim where the manual is available, and only for front-drive models at that. All-wheel drive costs $2,000.

The two main option trims are the Signature and Iconic. For $35,350, the Signature adds dynamic dampers, a panoramic moonroof, dual-zone climate control, and a proximity key. The barn doors also get a hand-free power-open feature.

Within this equipment level buyers can also purchase the $2,000 Premium Package, which goes one step further with an auto-dimming rearview mirror, memory front seats with power adjustment, power-folding mirrors, and split-folding rear seats.

The Iconic trim costs about $3,000 more than Signature, with a base price of $38,550. It includes all the equipment in the Signature's Premium Package, along with the safety and tech features mentioned earlier: navigation, Apple CarPlay, adaptive cruise control, park assist, and a head-up display. Leather upholstery is also standard.

The S ALL4 is essentially the all-wheel drive variant of the S. Besides adding all-wheel drive, S ALL4 models also get an eight-speed automatic transmission to pair to the 189-horsepower turbo-four. Otherwise, all equipment and package details discussed with the S apply here.

The most expensive and most zippy of the Clubman models is the JCW. It comes standard with a 301-horsepower turbo-four, an eight-speed automatic, and 18-inch wheels. Inside, it features exclusive touches like sport seats and steering wheel.

The JCW is less about exclusive amenities than it is about exclusive performance, so this Clubman isn't too different than its lower-power brethren other than the engine, wheels, and seats. You can opt to spec it in Classic, Signature, or Iconic trimmings, the latter of which begins at $48,250 - the most expensive of the Clubman models.
