Estate
The Clubman was the estate-bodied Mini — split rear barn doors, side-hinged. Mk1 (R55, 2007-2014) was a stretched R56 hatch with one (and only one) extra suicide-style passenger door behind the driver — a quirk that didn't survive. Mk2 (F54, 2015-2024) ran on UKL platform, longer than the hatch, six normal doors, JCW variant with 302 bhp and AWD. Discontinued 2024 with Mk3 hatch reset. The F54 JCW Clubman is one of the great hot estates — small, fast, charming.
