MINI has announced pricing for its Clubman wagon which goes onsale Down Under next month. Effectively the third body style for the BMW-owned reborn small car brand, the Clubman kicks off, priced from $34,400.
That princely sum will buy you the base model, naturally-aspirated Cooper.
In principle, the range follows the same steps as the hardtop, with up-specced Chilli variants offered in both Cooper and turbocharged Cooper S versions.
The Cooper features the same 88kW 1.6-litre four-cylinder powerplant as the hardtop and save for the new body style -- with 80mm wheelbase stretch, rear 'Splitdoor' and driver's side Clubdoor -- is largely mechanically identical.
In its Chilli variant, the six-speed manual MINI Cooper Clubman is priced from $38,200.
The 128kW 1.6-litre turbo MINI Cooper S Clubmans start from $43,200, rising to $47,000 for the Chilli model.
All versions are available with six-speed automatic transmissions complete with steering-wheel mounted paddle shifts.
The new MINI Clubman officially goes on sale on March 6.
