The last MINI Clubman has rolled off the production lines at MINI Plant Oxford; 55 years after the nameplate’s debut, as production now pivots toward the brand's upcoming EV models.

Commenting on the end of production, Dr. Markus Grüneisl, CEO of Plants Oxford and Swindon, said “We are incredibly proud to have built the MINI Clubman at Plants Oxford and Swindon over the last 18 years for customers all over the world. With its departure, we look ahead to welcoming members of the new MINI family to our Oxford and Swindon lines, including a new convertible model which we will start to produce at the end of this year.”

Since its introduction, more than 1.1 million MINI Clubman models have been built (over 3 generations including the original), with half of these made at MINI Plant Oxford and exported to more than 50 countries. As the first MINI to offer five seats, the Clubman introduced a unique Clubdoor – enabling easy access for rear passengers – which was hinged at the rear, and asymmetrically positioned on the one side of the car.

The end of production for the MINI Clubman signifies a closing chapter in MINI’s history, while the brand continues to introduce its new, all-electric MINI family. There will be no direct successor to the Clubman, its position in the larger MINI range will be consolidated with the MINI Countryman. 

Moving forward, the MINI Plant Oxford will progressively be upgraded (for GBP 600 million) to an all-electric production site in 2030. Production of two new electrified models – the MINI Cooper 3-door and MINI Aceman - will start in 2026.
