2009 MINI John Cooper Works Clubman Overview

Introduction

The MINI John Cooper Works Clubman brings together an iconic brand and a rich racing heritage. It offers the driving enthusiast a combination of fun-to-drive performance, engineering and unconventional attitude, while providing a more space than the two-door hatchback MINI.

The John Cooper Works Clubman three-door hatchback represents the peak of MINI performance and utility. The turbocharged direct injection 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder engine produces 208 horsepower and features an overboost function that pushes the maximum torque from 192 lbs-ft to 207 lbs-ft. A six-speed manual is the only transmission available. The Clubman is nearly ten inches longer than the Cooper, and features a rear-opening third passenger-side door and pneumatically-assisted split rear cargo doors. Standard equipment includes exclusive 17-inch cross-spoke wheels with run-flat performance tires, piano black interior trim, Dynamic Stability Control, electronic differential lock control, and Dynamic Traction Control. Features such as Xenon headlights, sport suspension, aerodynamic body kit, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, navigation system, satellite radio, leather seat trim, parking sensors, rain sensing wipers, and black or white racing stripes are optional.

The 2009 MINI John Cooper Works Clubman is a new model based on the MINI Cooper Clubman, which was all-new for 2008.
