“This is a LOT of car for the money (at least in a smaller vehicle). To get a similar sized vehicle (ferry discounts, garage dimension), you are really looking at vehicles twice the price to get as many features. It really does everything I need it to do...and it looks good, too!”
2019 MINI Clubman: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 MINI Clubman is mostly a packaging year. Its main change is a revamped Classic, Signature, and Iconic structure that reshuffles standard and optional equipment, with no redesign or new engines.
About the 2019 MINI Clubman
2nd generation (F54, 2016-2024), fourth model year and last pre-refresh year before the 2020 facelift.
MINI positions the Clubman as the grown-up, more practical MINI: it keeps the brand’s playful handling and distinctive style, but adds a roomier cabin, a larger cargo area, and the Clubman’s signature split rear doors. It sits between the smaller Hardtop and the taller Countryman, aimed at shoppers who want MINI character and premium feel without giving up everyday usefulness for passengers, luggage, or longer trips.
The Cooper is the practical entry model, with five seats, split rear cargo doors, a 6.5-inch display, and a 134-hp turbocharged engine. The 189-hp Cooper S adds stronger performance and sport seats, while the 228-hp John Cooper Works ALL4 tops the range with all-wheel drive, sport suspension, Brembo brakes, and LED headlights.
