Verdict
The MINI Clubman F54 LCI is the materially quicker Clubman: its 192 hp and 280 Nm 2.0-litre reaches 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds, against the MINI Clubman F54’s 136 hp, 220 Nm 1.5-litre and 9.1 seconds. It also gets a seven-speed wet dual-clutch, 18-inch wheels, navigation, Harman Kardon audio and a reverse camera. Yet both retain the 4,253 mm body, five seats and 360-litre boot. The F54’s 5.4 L/100 km rating, RM90 annual road tax and 17-inch tyres make more sense if you do not need the LCI’s extra pace or kit.
Pick the MINI Clubman F54 if lower running costs and a 5.4 L/100 km rated consumption matter more than stronger acceleration and added cabin technology.
Pick the MINI Clubman F54 LCI if you want 192 hp, a 7.2-second 0-100 km/h time, driver-memory front seats and a reverse camera.
