The MINI lineup holds multiple vehicles, and each is characterized by the brand's easy-to-spot, iconic design language. While their styling is comparable, the models have many significant differences. At Century MINI, our valued shoppers often ask about the primary differences between the MINI Hardtop 4 Door and the MINI Clubman. These models are offered with the Cooper S trim, so this is a great place to start your comparison.

Performance

The MINI Hardtop 4 Door has two trims, and the MINI Cooper S Hardtop 4 Door is the top option. This hatchback pulls 189 horsepower from a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbo engine. The engine moves the front wheels and pairs with a seven-speed automatic, dual-clutch transmission. Performance upgrades include adaptive cruise control and adaptive dampers. The MINI Cooper S Clubman is the base trim level for this wagon-like model. It has the same engine as the MINI Cooper S Hardtop 4 Door. In addition to the same standard transmission, the MINI Cooper S Clubman is available with a six-speed manual transmission in the Classic sub-trim.

Appearance

The 2023 MINI Cooper S Hardtop 4 Door is characterized by its small stature, smooth sides, and strongly curved hood. From front to rear, it has a prominent layer of lower-body molding. At the front, the circular headlights are angled back slightly, and the air vents are tall slits. The black, rounded grille sinks to the bottom of the bumper, showing off a body-colored element that runs horizontally. The 2023 MINI Cooper S Clubman is a longer vehicle with barn-style rear doors rather than a hatchback. Like the MINI Hardtop 4 Door, it has smooth sides, circular headlights, and a curved hood. However, the lower-body molding is thicker, and the grille is accented with a chrome surround. The air vents are also larger and slightly rounded.

Features

The features available in the MINI Hardtop 4 Door and the MINI Clubman vary based on the sub-trim selected. The features offered in these 2023 MINI models are a head-up display, an auto parking system, a heated steering wheel, wireless device charging, a premium Harman Kardon audio system, a digital instrument panel, and front collision mitigation, a sunroof, a few additional features. The MINI Clubman is also offered with faux leather or leather material and a navigation system.
