The Cooper Clubman John Cooper Works (JCW), which is what we tested, is the quickest and most powerful model in the Clubman lineup. It's all about performance and entertainment. But that comes at the expense of other things, including your wallet. And while it has tons of personality and respectable performance, the Clubman JCW isn't any more entertaining than the significantly less expensive Clubman S.

Overview
The classic two-door hardtop is likely what comes to mind when you think of Mini, but the brand has other models to satisfy different needs. One of those is the Mini Clubman, a wagon-like variant with rear barn doors instead of a traditional hatch. With four side doors and a low, boxy cargo area, the Clubman offers more practicality than a classic Mini yet maintains a healthy dose of fun.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2022 MINI Clubman John Cooper Works ALL4 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.93 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.

vs
$168/mo
Avg. Compact Car
Even in base form, the Clubman feels nimble and sprightly thanks to its turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 189 horsepower. If you need more grip, all-wheel drive is available in the Clubman All4. Like other Minis, the Clubman features upscale materials in its cabin, helping it stand apart from other compact hatchbacks. Despite its premium nature, the Mini Clubman still competes against small cars from mainstream brands, including the Hyundai Veloster and Volkswagen Golf GTI.

Rated for you by America's best test team.
Performance
8.0/10
How does the Clubman drive? The Clubman JCW uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes an impressive 301 hp. At our test track, it propelled our test car from 0 to 60 mph in a rather outrageous 4.7 seconds. Using launch control, the Clubman JCW blasts off the line, cracking off shifts and even getting some tire chirp on the 1-2 upshift. It feels quick in routine driving too, with plenty of low-end torque and a responsive gas pedal.
The Clubman JCW is relatively composed around turns, and it doesn't have the go-cart feel of older Minis. The steering is heavier than you might expect, but it feels good and responsive. Even with all-wheel drive, there is a mild amount of torque steer. In general, the handling isn't markedly different or more enjoyable than that of a Cooper Clubman S.

Comfort
7.0/10
How comfortable is the Clubman? Mini spent a lot of time tuning the suspension and handling. Unfortunately, the engineers have tuned it for performance, with no regard for comfort and refinement. The Clubman JCW is stiff. Uncomfortably so. It crashes over bumps, and potholes will rattle your teeth. The firm and oddly padded seat doesn't help much either. Yes, the bolsters do a great job of keeping you planted on winding roads, but it only compounds the ride-quality issue.
It's not all bad inside. When it's not sending shockwaves through your spine, the Clubman JCW is actually fairly quiet and refined. The turbocharged engine makes a nice-sounding growl even if much of it is prerecorded and piped in through the speakers. The climate control works well and has air vents for the rear passengers.

Interior
8.0/10
How’s the interior? Despite its minuscule proportions (pun intended), the Mini Clubman JCW is relatively spacious inside. The upright, semi-boxy design means there's plenty of headroom and shoulder room. It has a bit less legroom than some rivals, but it's still relatively good, especially compared to the standard Hardtop. Those upright windows help with visibility too. It's easy to see out in every direction.
The driving position is pretty good. The compact size means the controls are well placed, and it's not difficult to settle into a comfortable driving position. The square doors make in-and-out pretty easy. It's not quite as spacious as a Honda Civic or a VW Golf, but we're impressed given just how small the Clubman JCW is on the outside.

Technology
7.5/10
How’s the tech? This is where you really notice parent company BMW's influence. A lot of the Clubman JCW's tech is ripped straight from the BMW parts bin. The infotainment system is basically BMW's with a colorful Mini-themed interface. It's easy to navigate and looks a bit more premium than some rival systems. Navigation and voice controls work well, and having turn-by-turn direction in our test car's optional head-up display was great. Our tester's Iconic trim came with Apple CarPlay, but the lack of Android Auto was disappointing.
The driver aids have been influenced by BMW too. The adaptive cruise control works well, maintaining tight gaps and holding speed up- or downhill. The lane keeping system will bounce the car between the lane markers somewhat, but overall the Clubman's driver aids are pretty refined.

Storage
7.0/10
How’s the storage? The Clubman JCW's 17.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats is less than what you get from a Hyundai Veloster N, Honda Civic Type R or VW Golf R. That said, the area is low and boxy, so it's more usable than it seems. There's also a good bit of underfloor storage. The split barn-style rear doors make getting things in and out easy too. And the cargo area expands to a much more competitive 47.9 cubic feet if you fold down the seats.
Up front, there are decently sized door pockets and some small bins for your personal items. Got small kids to take along? The rear seat is tight for installing a child safety seat, but it's no smaller than anything else in the class.

Fuel Economy
9.0/10
How’s the fuel economy? The Clubman JCW is one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in its class. The EPA estimates it'll get 26 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That bests the Civic Type R and Veloster N, both of which get 25 mpg combined. We observed 28.5 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation route, so the EPA's estimates seem realistic.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Clubman a good value? Whether the Clubman JCW is a good value or not depends on just how big of a Mini fan you are. A base Clubman JCW starts at $40,250, but it lacks features such as adaptive cruise control, leather upholstery and even Apple CarPlay, though those can all be added on if you select one of the higher trims. Our loaded test vehicle was $48,100, significantly more than any other hot hatch around. That said, it does feel more premium than most rivals, and a lot of the cost goes toward the JCW's sporty tuning. Mini also includes three years of scheduled service and four years of roadside assistance, both better than most.
Wildcard
9.0/10
Despite the torquey turbocharged engine, all-wheel-drive traction and nimble handling, the Clubman JCW doesn't have that constant sense of fun you'll find in other hot hatches. The ride is so stiff on most roads that you spend more time avoiding potholes than you do dipping into the engine's copious torque curve.
On the upside, it oozes as much personality as its Mini brethren. It looks distinct both inside and out, and it seems to revel in all the little touches including the two-tone paint, color-changing ambient lighting and Union Jack outlines in the taillights.

Which Clubman does Edmunds recommend?
Though we love driving the Mini John Cooper Works Clubman on curvy back roads, its aggressively stiff ride zaps the fun out of any commute. The regular Cooper S is a great compromise, with its compliant-yet-confident handling and responsive turbo-four engine. Though the 8.8-inch screen is now standard across the board, Apple CarPlay remains an option, starting with the Signature trim, so get that one if you have an iPhone.
MINI Clubman models
The 2022 Mini Clubman is a small hatchback/wagon available in three main trim levels: Cooper S Clubman, the all-wheel-drive Cooper S Clubman All4 and the performance-focused John Cooper Works All4. Each of those is broken into three subtrims: Classic, Signature and Iconic. It's a little confusing, but the takeaway here is that the main trims vary by powertrain while the subtrims determine what standard features you get.
Cooper S Clubman
The front-wheel-drive Cooper S Clubman is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (189 horsepower, 206 lb-ft). A six-speed manual transmission is standard on the Classic trim, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is available as an option. On the Signature and Iconic trims, the automatic is standard and the manual is optional.
Standard features on the Classic include:
- 17-inch alloy wheels
- LED headlights
- Automatic wipers
- Heated mirrors
- Keyless entry and ignition
- Leather-wrapped heated steering wheel

- Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
- Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in behind the vehicle when parking)
- Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
The Signature model includes those features, plus:
- Adjustable suspension dampers
- Panoramic sunroof
- Faux leather-and-cloth combination upholstery
The top-of-the-line Iconic trim consists of:

- Power-adjustable front seats
- 40/20/40-split rear seat

Compare the MINI Clubman
MINI Clubman vs. Volkswagen Golf GTI
The Clubman S is loads of fun. But it doesn't have much to offer against the original hot hatch. For about the same price, the GTI delivers more power (241 hp, 273 lb-ft) and even better handling. The GTI also has a conventional hatch and a larger cargo area. The Clubman's interior will feel a little more upscale, however.
MINI Clubman vs. Hyundai Veloster N
Because the N model is the only flavor of Veloster you can get now, the John Cooper Works Clubman is the closest match for Hyundai's compact hatchback. Both will be quirky, but the Veloster might actually be even quirkier with its asymmetrical three-door layout. With 275 hp, the Veloster N isn't quite as powerful as the John Cooper Works but it's not slow either, reaching 60 mph in 5.4 seconds. When it comes to value, the Veloster N is the clear winner with its lower starting price, better warranty and long list of standard features.
MINI Clubman vs. MINI Countryman
The Countryman and Clubman are similar in size, but the former benefits from a higher ride height and conventional rear liftgate. That means it's easier to get in and out of and load groceries in the back. You also get a bit more space in the back seat. The base Countryman comes with a 134-hp turbocharged three-cylinder, which feels a bit underpowered. The Clubman, on the other hand, starts with the 189-hp S model. Lastly, the Clubman will be slightly cheaper than a comparably equipped Countryman.
