The Mini Clubman has always been an odd idea. A not-so-mini-Mini, it takes the classic zippy and fun Mini Cooper formula and stretches it to larger proportions. Its barn door rear is instantly recognizable. But it has never been a huge seller for the brand, probably because most people who want a Mini want a mini one.
The Clubman will reach its end after the 2024 model year. Mini hasn’t announced a formal end date for sales. An online order page will still let you configure a 2024 model today. But the company has released details on a sendoff it’s calling the Mini Clubman Final Edition.
Just 1,969 Will Be Built
Mini will build just 1,969 Clubman Final Editions worldwide – a reference to the model year of the first Clubman shooting brake, sold in its native England from 1969 through 1981.
It’s based on the Clubman S model, so it doesn’t get the high-performance details of the John Cooper Works edition or the ALL4 all-wheel-drive system.
Mini hasn’t revealed pricing. The 2024 Clubman starts at $34,050, but the limited nature of the Final Edition will drive that price higher.
We’re not sure how many will come to the U.S. Contacted for comment, a Mini spokesperson said, “We’re planning a U.S. press release with market-specific details in a few weeks’ time once we have the info confirmed. For the moment, this is a global announcement.”
Copper Accents, Sharp Multi-Colored Cabin
The Final Edition comes in three colors: Nanuq White, Enigmatic Black, and Melting Silver. Much of the external trim is done in Shimmering Copper, including the grille surround and wheel spokes. A Final Edition badge will include a number plate showing each specific car’s build order.
Inside, the seats are wrapped in Dark Maroon leather with anthracite-colored fabric inserts and blue contrast-color stitching. The Shimmering Copper color has made it inside, too, appearing as an accent across the dashboard. Almost black Dark Sage trim surrounds the instrument panel. The interior also gets more Final Edition badges than we can count, appearing sewn into the seats and floormats, lettered into the door sills, and in a “1 of 1,969” dashboard plate.
