Detailed analysis of the MINI Clubman Cooper D · 111 CV (2010-2011)
General description
The 2010 MINI Clubman Cooper D is a bold and distinctive proposition in the compact segment, offering an alternative with a touch of eccentricity and functionality. With its unique door design and MINI heritage, this model aims to win over those who value individuality and a fun driving experience, without sacrificing the efficiency provided by its diesel engine.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Clubman Cooper D, the feeling is unmistakably MINI. The speed-sensitive electric steering offers precision that invites you to link curves with agility. The 111 hp diesel engine, with its 270 Nm of torque available from low revs, provides an energetic response and constant thrust, making every acceleration gratifying. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, along with anti-roll bars, ensures firm grip and commendable stability, although it can be somewhat firm on uneven roads. The 6-speed manual gearbox is precise and contributes to a connected and exciting driving experience. It's a car that makes you feel part of the road, with surprising agility for its size.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the MINI Clubman is, without a doubt, its most striking calling card. It breaks with convention thanks to its four-door configuration, including a small reverse-opening rear door on the right side, which facilitates access to the rear seats. The rear, with its two side-opening doors, is a nod to classic 'shooting brakes' and gives it an unmistakable personality. The compact dimensions, 3961 mm long and 1683 mm wide, combine with a robust and sporty aesthetic. Inside, the design follows MINI's iconic line, with the large central speedometer and aviation switches, creating a retro-futuristic atmosphere that captivates. The materials, although not luxurious, convey solidity and a good fit, and the seats offer good lateral support.
Technology and features
Despite being a 2010 model, the Clubman Cooper D incorporates technology 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 performance. The inclusion of the Stop&Start system is a clear example of its focus on reducing consumption and emissions, with a combined NEDC of only 3.9 l/100km and 103 g/km of CO2. In terms of safety, it has ventilated front disc brakes and rear discs, ensuring effective braking. Speed-sensitive electric power steering improves maneuverability in the city and stability on the road. Although it does not have the latest driving aids of current models, its equipment is adequate for its time.
Competition
At the time, the MINI Clubman Cooper D faced rivals such as the Audi A3 Sportback, the Volkswagen Golf Variant, or the BMW 1 Series. However, its design proposal and its focus on driving fun placed it in a slightly different category. Other competitors could be the Alfa Romeo MiTo or the Citroën DS3, although none offered the peculiar door configuration of the Clubman. Its main appeal lay in the combination of diesel efficiency with the charisma and agility of a MINI, something few rivals could match.
Conclusion
The 2010 MINI Clubman Cooper D is a car that goes beyond being a simple means of transport; it is a statement of intent. Its bold design, dynamic behavior, and efficiency make it a very interesting option for those looking for a vehicle with personality and a touch of exclusivity. It is a car that makes you smile on every journey, combining the practicality of a compact with the sporty spirit of MINI. Although its interior space is not the most generous in its segment, its charm and its ability to make you feel special more than compensate for any small limitation. It is a car to enjoy, to experience the road, and to stand out from the crowd.
