MINI Countryman vs Clubman – Sizing Them Up

Weight is another area that the Clubman wins. The Countryman S All4 manual we tested recently (coming soon) weighed in at 3629 lbs compared to 3445 lbs for the Clubman equivalent. That gives the Clubman a .4 second advantage to 60 while costing around $2500 less.
Comparing the new Countryman to its predecessor it’s a full 7 inches longer. The F60 also heavier with the average weight gain across models around 350 lbs. Yet it’s faster overall with 0-60 times down in most cases. For the Cooper manual this means a 0-60 dash that’s now 1.6 seconds faster. Like the Clubman that came before it, this weight gain only tells a part of the story. This is a larger much more comfortable car that will appeal to a wider array of buyers.
So how does the new F60 2017 MINI Countryman drive? Our upcoming review will tell you everything you need to know.
