Mini introduces Clubman Final Edition

MINI is looking to be ready for the brand's future by simplifying its lineup and axing one of its iconic models, the Clubman. The Clubman is now MINI’s least successful model, with sales tapering off since 2016. Of course, before the discontinuation of this model, Mini will be releasing a Final Edition Clubman that makes history for the iconic station wagon and celebrates its history and heritage.

The Final Edition Clubman will only be limited to just 1969 units, and that figure signifies the year when Mini introduced the Clubman to the market. Only three paint options are available: Enigmatic Black, Nanuq White, and Melting Silver. 

The exterior also features unique graphics along the hood and doors that further showcases the silhouette and shape of the Clubman. Unique copper-colored badging is also present along the vehicle's exterior, and unique copper-accented wheels further differentiate the Final Edition from the standard Clubman models.

The interior of the Clubman also maintains coppery tones with dark-brown leather upholstery and anthracite fabric in the seats. Decorative elements such as Final Edition steering wheel and door sills are also present. The dashboard and floormats also feature a numbered plaque to show the vehicle's production number and remind the owner that they are driving a limited-run model.

Powertrain is unchanged from the standard Clubman, with the peppy 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine making 189 hp mated to a seven-speed DCT. Front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive comes at an additional cost. As this is a limited-edition model, there could be set numbers for front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive Clubmans. A perfect end, however, would have come in the form of the more powerful drivetrain from the JCW (John Cooper Works) model with 302 hp, but alas, we can’t have everything. 

Since only 1969 units of the Mini Clubman Final Edition will be produced globally, we can only wonder if this model will make its way to the Philippines.
