MINI has taken the wraps off its new Clubman estate ahead of its UK launch in November.

The Clubman is 24cm longer than the regular hatchback and offers much improved luggage capacity in the boot as well as a rear-hinged suicide door to allow access to the rear seats.

Available in Cooper, Cooper D and Cooper S trim, the Clubman will be priced at £14,235, £15,400 and £17,210 respectively, representing a £1,210 premium over the hatchback models.
