The last Mini Clubman rolled off the production line at the company's Oxford, UK, factory a few days ago, while the Mini brand is working to revamp its product line for an electrified future. It is reported that Mini launched the Clubman Final Edition in April last year, and announced in September that it would not launch plans for the next generation of cars. As the company realigns its portfolio, Countryman will be the de facto replacement for Clubman, with the new Aceman positioned below Countryman to complement the roster.
The head of the Mini brand noted last year that the company's Countryman model sold twice as much as the Clubman, so it was easy to decide which one to keep. The Mini Clubman, which is currently on sale, came out in 2007 as a successor to the original in 1969 and was produced until the early 80s of the 20th century. With the introduction of the Clubman All-4 in 2016, it was also the brand's first all-wheel drive model. Since 2007, Mini has built more than 1.1 million ClubMans.
The final version of the model will be produced in a limited edition of 1,969 units worldwide, of which less than 100 will be shipped to the U.S. market. Priced at nearly $50,000, the model comes with a shimmer copper package and a turbocharged 20-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 186 horsepower.
