Detailed analysis of the MINI Clubman Cooper D Aut. · 109 CV (2010)
General description
The 2007 MINI Clubman Cooper D Aut. is a bold and distinctive proposition within the compact segment, offering an alternative with a touch of exclusivity and a design that leaves no one indifferent. This model, with its 109 hp diesel engine and automatic transmission, seeks to combine efficiency with the brand's characteristic driving pleasure, all wrapped in a body that breaks with convention.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Clubman Cooper D, the feeling is one of agility and fun, despite its diesel nature and automatic transmission. The speed-sensitive electric steering offers a precise response that invites you to enjoy every curve. The engine, although not a powerhouse, delivers its 109 hp linearly and with 240 Nm of torque available from low revolutions, which facilitates overtaking and city driving. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, along with anti-roll bars, contributes to dynamic behavior and good stability, although it can be somewhat firm on uneven roads. A top speed of 188 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.9 seconds show that, without being a sports car, it has more than enough performance for everyday use.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the MINI Clubman is, without a doubt, its most distinctive and polarizing feature. It maintains the essence of the classic MINI, but stretches it and adds a side-opening rear door on the right side, known as the 'Clubdoor', which facilitates access to the rear seats. The rear, with its double-leaf doors that open like a wardrobe, is a nod to classic delivery vans and gives it a unique personality. Dimensions of 3945 mm long, 1683 mm wide and 1426 mm high, along with a wheelbase of 2547 mm, give it a compact presence but with a touch of sophistication. The interior, while maintaining the iconic large central speedometer, offers a more versatile space than the three-door MINI, with a 260-liter trunk that, while not huge, is functional for daily use.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2007 MINI Clubman Cooper D Aut. incorporates solutions that seek to optimize performance and efficiency. The 1,560 cc diesel engine, with common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo and intercooler, is an example of engineering to achieve a balance between power and consumption. The 6-speed automatic transmission contributes to a smooth and comfortable ride, especially in urban environments. Although it does not have the latest innovations in connectivity or driving assistance that we see today, its technology focuses on mechanics and the driving experience. Ventilated front disc brakes and rear discs ensure effective braking, and speed-sensitive electric power steering improves maneuverability.
Competition
At the time, the MINI Clubman Cooper D Aut. faced rivals that offered a more traditional approach in the premium compact segment. Models such as the Audi A3 Sportback, the Volkswagen Golf Variant or even the BMW 1 Series, although with more conventional bodies, competed for the same type of customer looking for quality and a certain status. However, the Clubman stood out for its bold design and its more versatile interior space proposition than the three-door MINI, but without being a conventional family car. Its uniqueness positioned it in a very specific niche, attracting those who valued originality above all else.
Conclusion
The 2007 MINI Clubman Cooper D Aut. is a car with character, combining the fun of driving a MINI with an extra dose of practicality and an unmistakable design. It is an ideal option for those looking for a compact vehicle with personality, that stands out from the conventional and offers a rewarding driving experience. Its diesel engine and automatic transmission make it efficient and comfortable for everyday use, while its aesthetics make it an object of desire for design lovers. It is a car that, despite its age, still maintains a special charm and a different proposition in the market.
