Fatal crashes in the US
From 2020 to 2023, 26 Clubman vehicles were involved in crashes on US public roads in which someone died, and 12 people died inside them. These are counts, not crash rates: a model with more cars on the road shows up more often, and people killed outside the vehicle are not counted here.

Real-world fuel consumption
7,715 MINI Clubman cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol versions average 7.7 l/100 km on the road, against 6.4 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 20% more.
| Fuel | Cars | On the road | WLTP | Difference |

What it costs in fuel
On real-world figures the petrol MINI Clubman uses 7.7 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 1,150 litres: €2,513 at this week's average price in Germany, its largest market in Europe.
