About the 2013 MINI Clubvan

R55 Clubman-based Clubvan, first and only U.S. model year.

MINI positioned the Clubvan as a city-friendly cargo vehicle for small businesses and owners who wanted useful load space without giving up MINI personality. The core appeal was not heavy-duty work-van toughness; it was style, compact size, secure enclosed cargo room, and the same playful driving feel buyers associated with the regular MINI range. In plain terms, it is a boutique delivery van for urban use, creative trades, and lifestyle hauling rather than a traditional commercial van.

MINI positioned the 2013 Cooper Clubvan as a stylish, city-friendly alternative to a basic work van. Its single U.S. version pairs a 121-hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive with 30.3 cubic feet of cargo room, six recessed tie-down loops, split rear cargo doors, and a right-side Clubdoor.
