Because we can’t all get an EV, MINI offers a frugal Clubman

Auto Blog: MINI , UK Click on image for a high-resolution gallery of the Mini Clubman ONE Since it will be rather difficult for most people to obtain one of the new MINI EVs , fans of the iconic car who want to use less fuel will have to be content with the most frugal liquid fuel engine option currently available for the Clubman. The powertrain is the same 1.4-liter 95hp engine that can be found across the MINI range, and offers an unleaded alternative for diesel-haters. It’s got the complete array of CO 2 emissions reduction technologies, such as Brake Energy Regeneration, Auto Start Stop and Shift Point Display, all of which are standard. Mileage is rated at 52.3 mpg Imp (44 mpg U.S., 5.4 l/100km) and the cost of road tax will be £120 in the UK when the car is placed in VED tax band D next April.
