“I wouldn’t say the space is filled but we will not have a Clubman,” Wurst told the publication. “The Aceman is a smaller concept but I think the five-door space, if not the six-door, is filled well by the Countryman and the Aceman. If you look at the sales numbers worldwide, the Countryman doubles the Clubman. I love the Clubman, I’m driving a Clubman at the moment. But as a big car concept, we decided to go with the new Countryman.”
Mini plans to stop taking orders for the regular Clubman in February 2024. The swan song for the Clubman will be the Final Edition model on display here. It will be limited to just 1,969 units globally with three exterior color choices: Nanuq White, Enigmatic Black or Melting Silver.
2023 MINI Clubman Final Edition
In the U.S., the Mini Clubman Final Edition has a starting price of $47,145, making it approximately $10,000 more expensive than the Clubman 4All. In the UK, only 100 units of the Clubman Final Edition will be available, starting at £37,000 ($45,450 USD or €42,135).
Going back a bit in history, let's recall that the Clubman was launched in 2007 as a modern successor to the British Leyland Mini Clubman built between 1969 and 1980. The second modern generation of the model arrived in 2015, and the last units are expected to be produced in the coming months. As for Mini's updated range, it will consist of a new member - the Aceman small crossover, while the new Countryman will act as an indirect replacement for the Clubman.
