MINI has launched its all new MINI Clubman ALL4 – the brand’s first all-wheel drive model in the C-segment and the first ALL4 model to be built at MINI Plant Oxford.

MINI’s ALL4 all-wheel drive system, which has previously only been offered on MINI Countryman models, has been specially redeveloped to ensure sportier handling and improved versatility to further enhance the everyday practicality of the new MINI Clubman.

MINI Clubman was launched in October 2015 and is notable as MINI’s first vehicle in the competitive C-segment. Now, the brand is offering something new to the market in the form of Clubman ALL4 which is available with two of the latest MINI engines, the MINI Cooper S Clubman ALL4 and the MINI Cooper SD Clubman ALL4.

The 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine with MINI TwinPower Turbo Technology is the latest example of MINI’s engine technology. Offering 192bhp, the new MINI Cooper S Clubman ALL4 is combined with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard, and optionally with an 8-speed Steptronic transmission.

It achieves fuel consumption of 40.9 mpg with the manual transmission (44.8mpg for automatic transmission) and has carbon emissions of 159g/km (146g/km).

The new MINI Cooper SD Clubman ALL4 features a 190bhp diesel engine with 400Nm of torque which is paired with the brand’s capable 8-speed Steptronic transmission as standard. Fuel consumption on the combined cycle is 58.9mpg with CO2 emissions of 126g/km.

The new MINI Clubman ALL4 comes fully loaded with the brand’s highly acclaimed sat nav system as standard on all models. In addition, every MINI Clubman ALL4 also benefits from the MINI Excitement Package as standard, which features a projection of the brand logo on to the ground beneath the driver’s side door mirror when the car is opened and closed, as well as extended interior lighting.

Production of MINI Clubman ALL4 has started at MINI Plant Oxford, with first deliveries at MINI retailers due in April.
