New MINI Claims Clubman Name
Published: 7th March 2007
Today at the International Automobile Salon in Geneva, MINI has announced that the next derivative in its model range will be called MINI Clubman. Based on a concept first shown in Frankfurt in 2005, a ‘Shooting Brake’ body-styled car will be on sale in the UK before the end of 2007.
The new car promises to be distinctive, yet authentically embody the MINI character. Offering more versatility without compromising the revered chassis of current Hatch models, the production version of the car is further evidence of MINI’s aim to break boundaries in car design.Historically, ‘Shooting Brake’ models are so-called due to a combination of premium two-door styling, with added interior flexibility for owners leading active lifestyles. The new car takes inspiration and styling cues from the Morris MINI Traveller, which experienced widespread success between 1960-69.
The eagerly awaited unveiling of the new MINI One and MINI Cooper D will also take place in Geneva. Both cars offer a dynamic drive and excellent fuel economy, with the latter being the most frugal and environmentally friendly MINI produced to date. The MINI One will cost £11,595 on the road, and the MINI Cooper D will be £14,190. Both models will be on sale from 14 April 2007
