2008 Mini Cooper Clubman – Models and Pricing

Like the regular Cooper, the Clubman model is available in base and turbocharged S variants. With the exception of engines and a few visual tweaks, all Clubmans come similarly equipped including standard stability control, front-side and side-curtain airbags, power mirrors, and leatherette upholstery; cloth upholstery is available at no charge. Buyers of the elongated Mini Cooper will also enjoy steering wheel-mounted controls, a trip computer, keyless entry, air conditioning that cools the glovebox, rear wipers, and power widows with an automatic up/down function. Tunes come from a six-speaker sound system featuring a CD player, speed-compensating volume and pre-wiring for Sirius satellite and HD radio services.

Standard features are nice, but what really attract the majority of Mini buyers are the numerous options. Available on all Clubmans are the $1,500 Premium Package that adds a dual-pane sunroof, automatic climate control, and an upgraded 10-speaker audio unit; the $500 Cold Weather Package, which tacks on heated mirrors, washers and seats; the $1,500 Sport Package that, depending on the trim level, adds bits like a sport suspension, sport seats, bonnet stripes, and upsized alloy wheels; and the $1,500 Convenience Package boasting rain-sensing wipers, a front center armrest, a USB port paired with Bluetooth capability, and more. Many of the items within these packages can be had separately.

A six-speed automatic transmission is available to replace the standard six-speed manual for $1,250 and buyers can contact their dealer for details and pricing on John Cooper Works suspension and brake kits. Going farther down the options list you'll find metallic paint ($500), front and rear fog lights ($100-500), a factory aero kit ($1,250), various types of leather upholstery ($1,000-2,000), a voice-activated navigation system with real-time traffic ($2,000), and Sirius satellite radio with a life-time subscription ($1,000). A limited-slip differential is available on the Cooper Clubman S for $500.

Whatever options you choose, they'll be added to the 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman's base price of $20,600 or the Clubman S's base price of $24,100. A $650 destination charge is included.
