Mini Clubman to launch in India on December 15

The Mini Clubman will be launched in India on December 15, 2016. The carmaker had first announced plans to introduce the Clubman in India during the 2016 Auto Expo.

The new Clubman was globally unveiled in July 2015. It is based on BMW's front-wheel drive UKL platform. The new model gets a redesigned front fascia with a new grille, tweaked headlamps and a reworked bumper. The rear gets a two-door a boot lid layout. The Clubman's dimensions stand at 4,253 mm x 1,800 mm x 1,441 mm (L x W x H).

In India, Mini is expected to launch the Clubman with 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines. The petrol motor develops 189 BHP @ 5,000 rpm and 280 Nm of torque @ 1,250 rpm, while the diesel churns out 147.5 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 330 Nm of torque @ 1,750 rpm.
