An exciting ride starts under the hood. Fortunately, both the MINI Clubman and the BMW X1 pack a powerful punch. However, if you want to maximize power and efficiency, you’ll want to take a closer look.
When we look at the standard performance of these hatchbacks, both models offer a similar 2.0L TwinPower Turbo engine.
If you really want to dial up the power, the MINI Clubman can also be outfitted with an available 2.0L TwinPower Turbo with Valvetronic that brings things up a notch with 301 horsepower. The BMW X1 is only available with the standard powertrain.
You can also take the fun farther in the MINI Clubman. Its base configuration boasts an EPA-estimated 25 city/35 highway MPG.* The base BMW X1 comes close but not close enough. It’s only capable of an EPA-estimated 25 city/34 highway MPG.
When the streets get slick or you decide to take the path less traveled, you’ll find that both models are equally capable thanks to their available all-wheel drive systems. They are full-time systems, constantly adjusting the power output to each wheel to ensure sure-footed control.
Your MINI Clubman or BMW X1 should be able to see you through every situation. From commutes to work and happy hours afterward to family outings and dropping the kids off at school, you’ll want a spacious cabin interior that everyone will enjoy.
There’s seating for five in both the MINI and the BMW. You’ll have more room to stretch out in the MINI Clubman, though. It gives you 41.4 inches of front legroom compared to just 40.4 inches in the X1.
Luckily, you can still enjoy many amenities in both models, such as leather-trimmed seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. There’s plenty of cargo space in both models, but you may find everything easier to load with the MINI Clubman, which comes with the iconic split rear doors, which give you easy access to the cargo area.
What about all that intuitive technology that luxury cars are known for? You’ll find it in both models. The MINI Clubman comes with an 8.8-inch touchscreen display, which gives you access to these features:
- Bluetooth®
- Apple CarPlay®
- Navigation with real-time traffic info
- SiriusXM®
Of course, the number one priority in either model is your safety. With high-tech safety features, both the MINI Clubman and the BMW X1 will help you commute to work, go on road trips, and carpool with friends safely.
If peace of mind is most important to you, you’ll get that with both the MINI Clubman and the BMW X1. They come standard with Active Driving Assistant, which includes:
- Forward Collision Warning
- Lane Departure Warning
Careful! Keep your eyes on the road. That will be easy with the Head-Up Display, which is available with both models. It projects vital driver information within your line of sight, so you can always stay dialed into the drive.
What about parking? Don’t sweat it! The Parking Assistant —available with both the MINI Clubman and the X1—can steer you into any suitable spot. You just need to handle the gears and the pedals.
Any competition between MINI and BMW is bound to be a close call. In this one, the MINI Clubman pulled out the victory with its interior convenience and superior performance. When you’re ready to take it to the streets of Gaithersburg, Baltimore, or Rockville, MD, come see it here at MINI of Montgomery County.
