What new engines has MINI built?
The choices for engines is superb, as they include a pair of 1.5-litre three-cylinder engines – one petrol, one diesel.
The petrol produces 101bhp and 190Nm of torque and is available with a choice of either manual or automatic – whatever your preference may be. With this power backing the Clubman, you can expect to get a 0-62mph time of 11.3 seconds with the auto-following three tenths behind. The diesel, on the other hand, is known as the “One D Clubman City”, which is only available under automatic transmission. Oh yes, and it’s much more powerful than the petrol version, with it producing numbers like 114bhp and 270Nm! Therefore, this cuts down the 0-62mph to 10.8 seconds.

Both engines have been produced to be emission friendly…
- The One D Clubman City achieves 68.9mpg and emissions of 109g/km
- The petrol version is 48.7mpg and 131g/km as a manual and 49.6mpg and 130g/km when combined with the auto.
What else can we expect from the new Clubman City models?All will be equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels as standard, although there is the option to upgrade to the 17-inch designs. Also, the standard kit will include a 6.5-inch touchscreen with satellite navigation and Apple CarPlay (sorry Android users, no Android Auto is available), rear parking sensors and cruise control.
To conclude, the Clubman City is already out and available for orders now. Prices start from £19,995 for the petrol manual, if you want petrol with the automatic transmission it adds £1,560 to the original figure. However, if petrol isn’t for you, the diesel model starts from £23,855.
