The new MINI Clubman is due for its official launch in the next 24 hours but a French MINI dealer has pulled le trigger a little early and the result is this selection of leaked photographs.
As is MINI’s style there’s not a lot of change externally from what we saw in the 2014 concept model. And to our eyes, that’s no bad thing.
Some people will struggle with the new Clubman, we understand that. It’s not really a MINI as we used to know the brand. In fact, this car is pretty damn big, for a MINI. But if it’s not clear to you now that BMW is willing to go to extraordinary lengths to milk every last drop out of its MINI brand it never will be.
If nothing else the barn-style rear doors are pretty cool!

Amazing how much better the FXX series front end looks without the goofy lower chin on the F56 hatch. In fact, overall, I think I prefer the look of this than the F56 although I suspect that the latter’s awkward exterior styling will be addressed as part of the inevitable midlife (LCI) update.
Will be interesting to see how big the new Clubman looks in real life
