The metalwork is identical to that on any other Clubman, so it features the same extended roofline and rear-hinged Clubdoor behind the driver.
A van-style tailgate gives access to the boot, with 260 litres of luggage space. Fold the rear seats, and this increases to a generous 930 litres. The cabin has the same stylish design as more expensive models, although this car’s budget status is apparent from the minimal amount of factory kit.
Air-con doesn’t come as standard, and the optional Chili Pack fitted to our Cooper will set you back an extra £2,015. It includes manual air-con, a trip computer, front foglamps, bigger alloys and sports seats. The Leather Lounge Hot Chocolate trim seen here adds another £895 and the Hot Chocolate paint finish £280.
Choose the matching upholstery without the Chili pack, however, and its price rises to a hefty £1,345. Add the stylish panoramic sunroof, and the cost goes up by a further £680.
