You’ll have a lot of fun driving either the MINI Clubman or the Subaru Crosstrek. If you have a need for speed, however, a more powerful engine under the hood is always better. That begs the question: Which model will give you the extra oomph you crave?
The MINI Clubman delivers with its energetic 2.0L TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine. It generates an impressive 189 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque. The Crosstrek is right on its tail. It comes standard with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that tops out at 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque.
Need something a bit more robust for your travels? These compact SUVs have you covered. In the Crosstrek, you can opt for the available 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that offers a lively 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque.
The MINI Clubman goes one step further, though. It’s hard to beat its available 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with Valvetronic in the MINI Clubman John Cooper Works trim. It boasts a whopping 301 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque for a more souped-up driving experience.
When you slide inside the MINI Clubman or the Subaru Crosstrek, get ready for a comfortable experience. Where are you headed? Whether you’re swinging by the store to do some shopping or going to your friend's house for the big game, you’ll be comfortable all the way there.
The MINI model ensures you’re completely cozy with a plethora of standard interior features, starting with the Dual Zone Automatic Climate Control system. This allows you and your copilot to set different temps, keeping everyone happy. The Nappa leather-wrapped steering wheel and heated front seats only further extend the coziness.
The Crosstrek comes standard with a dual-zone climate control system, options like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and heated front seats are only available on higher trim levels.
Both the MINI Clubman and the Subaru Crosstrek have plenty of cargo room to accommodate all your stuff. You’ll quickly find it’s much easier to load up the MINI, though. It comes with split-rear doors that swing out to the side rather than opening over your head. That will make packing up even easier, and you’ll be on the road in a snap.
You’re a driver who expects to stay connected and entertained, even while on the move. That’s why both the Crosstrek and the MINI Clubman come outfitted with progressive features to help you do just that.
In the MINI Clubman, you’ll find the following standard features:
- 8.8-inch multimedia touchscreen
- 6-speaker sound system
- SiriusXM® Satellite Radio
The Crosstrek comes equipped with a standard 7-inch infotainment touchscreen. Adding to this difference, the Crosstrek only boasts four standard speakers.
The MINI Clubman comes standard with Active Driving Assistant. This safety suite includes Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning. The Crosstrek can be outfitted with EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which comes with several similar features.
If you want more peace of mind, particularly when parking your SUV, you’ll love that the MINI Clubman comes optionally with Parking Assistant. With this, you simply need to manage the braking and acceleration of your MINI Clubman while advanced technology handles the steering for you.
With this feature, gone are the days of uncertainty if you can fit in a tight perpendicular spot or multiple attempts at a parallel space. However, if you drive the Subaru Crosstrek, steering will be 100 percent in your hands since no similar parking assist features are offered.
The reliable Subaru Crosstrek put on a good show, and the MINI Clubman still outperformed it. If you’re a driver looking for updated features, more power under the hood, and a highly accommodating cabin, the MINI Clubman is ideal for your trips through Gaithersburg, Baltimore, or Rockville, MD.
