Detailed analysis of the MINI Clubman Cooper D · 111 CV (2011-2012)
General description
The 2010 MINI Clubman Cooper D 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. With its 111 hp diesel engine, this model seeks to combine efficiency with the characteristic driving pleasure expected from a MINI, all wrapped in a body that expands the possibilities of use compared to the conventional MINI.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Clubman Cooper D, the sensation is one of agility and fun. The precise steering, with speed-sensitive electric assistance, instills confidence in every curve. The diesel engine, despite its 111 hp, offers a torque of 270 Nm from low revolutions (1750 rpm), which translates into an energetic response and good recovery capability, making overtakes safe and city driving agile. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, along with anti-roll bars, contributes to dynamic behavior and notable stability, although it can be somewhat firm on uneven roads. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.2 seconds and a top speed of 197 km/h are respectable figures for its category and power, inviting you to enjoy the road.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the MINI Clubman is, without a doubt, its strongest calling card. It maintains the unmistakable essence of MINI, but adds extra length (3961 mm) and a side-opening rear door on the right side, known as the 'Clubdoor', which facilitates access to the rear seats. The rear is characterized by its two 'barn door' style opening doors, which give it a retro and functional air. The proportions are balanced and the overall aesthetic is modern and timeless, with details that evoke the brand's heritage. The interior, although faithful to the MINI style with its large central speedometer, offers a more versatile space and a 260-liter trunk, expandable, which makes it more practical for everyday use.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2010 MINI Clubman Cooper D incorporates solutions designed for efficiency and comfort. Its 1.6-liter diesel engine features common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo, and intercooler, which optimizes combustion and reduces consumption. The inclusion of the Stop&Start system is a clear example of its focus on efficiency, contributing to a combined consumption of only 3.9 l/100km and CO2 emissions of 103 g/km, which gives it the DGT 'B' label. The 6-speed manual transmission allows precise control over power delivery. In terms of safety, it has ventilated disc brakes at the front and disc brakes at the rear, ensuring good braking capability.
Competition
In the 2010 market, the MINI Clubman Cooper D faced rivals that sought a balance between style, efficiency, and practicality. We could consider competitors such as the Audi A3 Sportback, the Volkswagen Golf Variant, or even the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, although each with its own personality. The Clubman stands out for its unique design and its focus on the 'go-kart feeling' driving experience, something its more generalist rivals could not match. Its exclusivity and premium touch positioned it as an option for those looking for something more than a simple compact.
Conclusion
The 2010 MINI Clubman Cooper D is a car that captivates with its personality. It is an ideal option for those looking for a compact vehicle with a distinctive design, dynamic behavior, and remarkable fuel efficiency. Its versatility, thanks to the 'Clubdoor' and the enlarged trunk, makes it more practical than the three-door MINI, without sacrificing the brand's fun spirit. It is a car that invites you to enjoy every journey, combining the excitement of driving with the ecological awareness of an efficient diesel engine. A modern classic that continues to capture glances and hearts.
