2021 MINI Clubman Latest Update

MINI Clubman 2020 Updates in Malaysia

MINI Clubman – Powertrain

Engine

Here is where the bulk of the pricing separates the Cooper S and JCW variants. The MINI Clubman Cooper S is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine delivering 192 PS/280 Nm. It is the same unit as found in the BMW X1 sDrive20i M Sport variant.

Meanwhile, the Clubman JCW is powered by a heavily upgraded 2.0-litre engine. It debuted in the 2019 facelift timing. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine generates 306 PS at 5,000 to 6,250 rpm and 450 Nm of torque from 1,750 to 4,500 rpm. The engine has been upgraded with a reinforced crankshaft, larger diameter bearings, a larger turbocharger and increased cooling capacity.

This high output engine is also featured in the BMW M135i xDrive hatchback. Many of the powertrain and chassis hardware in both vehicles are shared.

Transmission

Chassis

The MINI Clubman JCW is fitted with sport suspension with 10mm lower ride height and 19-inch wheels while the Cooper S is fitted with 18-inch wheels. Similar to BMW, MINI has also included the Performance Control electronic assist that performs engine control and brake interventions for more agile driving while cornering.

Both transmissions feature an Electronic Differential Lock Control (EDLC) to minimise understeer. However, with much higher torque levels in the Clubman JCW, the front axle is also fitted with a mechanical limited-slip differential (LSD).

Drivetrain

The F54 MINI Clubman Cooper is front-wheel drive premium hatchback, while the MINI Clubman JCW gets the MINI ALL4 all-wheel drive system that is front biased. The ALL4’s control system can lock up the rear multi-plate clutch to deliver a 50-50 equal torque but that is an uncommon occasion, as it dynamically adjusts the power to the rear wheels.
