The 2011 Cooper Clubman is a 3-door, 4-passenger family coupe, or sports coupe, available in 3 trims, ranging from the Base to the John Cooper Works.
Upon introduction, the Base is equipped with a standard 1.6-liter, I4, 121-horsepower engine that achieves 27-mpg in the city and 35-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The John Cooper Works is equipped with a standard 1.6-liter, I4, 208-horsepower, turbo engine that achieves 25-mpg in the city and 33-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard.
The Mini lineup will enter the 2011 model year with an array of visual and equipment upgrades for the Cooper, Cooper convertible, and Clubman. The visual changes include a redesigned front bumper that helps the Mini meet new pedestrian-safety regulations in Europe. The lower grille and new fog-light surrounds have more pronounced, contoured borders. Base (non-S) models feature a new horizontal bar in the lower air inlet, while S models sport prominent (and functional) brake ducts that can be trimmed in chrome. There are five new wheel designs in 15-, 16-, and 17-inch sizes.
The exterior lighting has been revised with new trim rings for the side-marker lights, while black headlight surrounds, like those on the recent Clubman anniversary edition , are now optional on all but John Cooper Works models. The brake lights now use LEDs, and the optional xenon headlights now swivel in turns. Reverse lights migrate to the lower bumpe
