During the 2016 New York auto show, the Mini Clubman ALL4 and John Cooper Works Convertible will make their North American debut. Both models will go on sale this spring.
This April, Mini will offer its ALL4 all-wheel drive system on the 2016 Clubman. The option was previously only available on the Countryman and Paceman. Customers can pair the ALL4 system with either the 134-hp turbo 1.5-liter I-4 engine or the 189-hp 2.0-liter turbo-four, and with either a six-speed manual or available eight-speed automatic transmission. The all-wheel drive system nets the Clubman improved performance figures and better handling, but doesn’t take away from that go-kart-like feel, according to Mini.
The 2016 Mini Clubman ALL4 will look identical to its front-wheel-drive twin aside from exterior badges, and to help with fuel economy, the front-drive-biased system will only send power to the rear wheels when it’s needed. Mini has also added a Digital Blue Metallic exterior color for the Clubman ALL4.
Mini will also show off the new 2016 John Cooper Works Convertible, which will deliver 228 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque from its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This gives the top-of-the-line model a 0-60 mph time of 5.9 seconds when equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, or 6.1 seconds with the six-speed manual. The JCW model arrives this April, with a starting price of $36,450.
