2017 Mini John Cooper Works Clubman All4 Australian Preview Drive | Fast And Fun Meets Practical And Secure
Once exclusive to Mini’s SUV range, all wheel drive is now expanding across the Mini lineup, with the rorty John Cooper Works Clubman introducing all wheel drive grip to the performance hatch-cum-wagon.
Like a Mini for grown ups, the Clubman sits on a larger footprint freeing up more interior space. But the playful Mini uniqueness remains, including rear barn doors and one of the most iconic interiors in the industry.
Vehicle Style: Performance small hatch
Price: $53,900 (plus on-roads)
Engine/trans: 170kW/350Nm 2.0 litre 4cyl turbo patrol | 6sp manual, 8sp automatic
Fuel Economy Claimed: 7.2 l/100km
OVERVIEW
As the flagship if the Clubman range, the John Cooper Works bring more power and torque than the already impressive Cooper S. An extra 29kW and 70Nm in fact, which combined with the added all wheel drive grip results in a 0-100km/h sprint of just 6.3 seconds - an impressive 1.2 seconds quicker than the Cooper S auto.
Priced from $53,900 (plus on-roads), the John Cooper Works Clubman (let’s make that JCW from here on in) is certainly at the high end of the hot hatch market, bit Mini counters that by stuffing it full of premium equipment like Harman Kardon hi fi, adaptive cruise control, and leather trim.
