2014 MINI Clubman: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 MINI Clubman is a carryover with no major changes. Its main significance is that it was the final U.S. model year of the first modern Clubman before the redesigned 2016 version arrived.
About the 2014 MINI Clubman
First modern Clubman generation, R55 (2008-2014), final U.S. model year before the larger next-generation Clubman launched as a 2016 model.
MINI positioned the Clubman as the more useful, more flexible take on the classic MINI formula. OEM launch material emphasized its extra length, the rear-hinged side access door, and the split rear cargo doors, while still promising the same playful handling and distinctive design as the Hardtop. For most shoppers, the Clubman’s main draw was personality plus clever cargo access: it felt more practical than a regular MINI without turning into a conventional small wagon.
The Cooper is the practical entry model, with a 121-hp engine, a rear-hinged side access door, split rear cargo doors, and a fold-flat rear seat. The turbocharged 181-hp Cooper S adds more punch and sport seats, while the 208-hp John Cooper Works model brings stronger brakes, a sport suspension, and a more aggressive body kit.

2014 MINI Clubman
(8 reviews)
“Great little car, in beautiful condition. Missing a door sill cover, and has an intermittent brake light issue. Had repaint on driver's side, not disclosed. All considered, still a wonderful vehicle.”
“The Mini Cooper Clubman S is a fun vehicle to drive. The Clubman offers more room and utility than the standard Mini and I believe it has better styling.”
