Among the big Frankfurt 2015 debuts from the BMW Group is the new F54 MINI Clubman – it was previously unveiled back in June, but without any details regarding performance and fuel economy. The German-owned British retro marque has finally released them, just a day before press days begin.
The six-door wagon’s six-strong lineup mirrors much of its siblings, but the all-turbo engines have been rejigged slightly. The mills for the petrol Cooper and Cooper S models remain the same, as is the oil-burner in the One D. However the Cooper D and Cooper SD now feature larger, more powerful 2.0 litre engines for the first time on a MINI, while the One graduates to a detuned 1.5 litre mill from the Cooper.
In addition to a standard six-speed manual gearbox, the Aisin eight-speed automatic (transverse-mounted rather than the longitudinal ZF unit on rear-biased BMW models) from the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and Gran Tourer, as well as the new X1, make their way to the four-cylinder Cooper D, Cooper SD and Cooper S models for the first time on a MINI. A six-speed auto option remains on the other three-cylinder models.
At the base of the range sits the One, fitted with a 1.5 litre petrol three-pot that develops 102 hp/180 Nm. The 0-100 km/h sprint is done in 11.1 seconds (auto 11.7 seconds), and fuel consumption is rated at 5.1-5.3 litres per 100 km. Next to it, the 116 hp/270 Nm One D turbodiesel does the century sprint in 10.4 seconds and has a fuel economy average of between 3.8-3.9 litres per 100 km (auto 3.9-4.1 litres per 100 km).
The Cooper petrol bumps output to 136 hp/220 Nm (230 Nm on overboost), does 0-100 km/h in 9.1 seconds but still also consumes fuel at a rate of between 5.1-5.3 litres per 100 km. Meanwhile, the Cooper D’s new 2.0 litre diesel mill kicks out 150 hp/330 Nm, enabling the car to go from 0-100 km/h in 8.6 seconds (8.5 seconds with the new eight-speed auto) while delivering fuel consumption of between 4.1-4.4 litres per 100 km.
At the top of the range sits the Cooper S; its 192 hp/280 Nm (300 Nm on overboost) 2.0 litre petrol engine flings it to 100 km/h in just 7.2 seconds (auto 7.1 seconds), and produces fuel consumption of between 6.2-6.3 litres per 100 km (auto 5.8-5.9 litres per 100 km).
The diesel Cooper SD is much more closely matched to its petrol twin than on other MINIs – 190 hp/400 Nm versus 170 hp/360 Nm – thanks to its uprated 2.0 litre four-pot turbodiesel, and hits 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds while averaging fuel economy of between 4.5-4.6 litres per 100 km (auto 4.3-4.4 litres per 100 km).

Hahaha laughing stock of the world… Proton Iriz can easy bet will expensive lousy car.
Proton Iriz still the real global car as DrM comfirm.
wow, My beautiful dream’s car.
OMG! They make the mini looks like a “catfish” now.
RM80k starting price in the North America, North Asia, Australasia and Europe countries but comes to Bolehland becomes starting price from RM218K
That is pretty sad if not laughable for Malaysia. And one cant compare Malaysian taxes with high income, high density places like HK and Singapore because those are borne out of necessity in urban planning – Malaysia has so much space for cars to roam.
How can Iriz sells if this is not double the price?
euww…ugly man
I love wagons and I really love this one. Interior looks properly premium.
