Serving Ramsey, Clifton, and Wayne, NJ
For years, MINI Cooper has been creating unique and innovative vehicles that have earned them a loyal following all over the world. MINI Coopers are efficient, attractive, unique, and really know how to make a statement! If you're looking for a an inexpensive compact car that's an absolute blast to drive, the Clubman might just be the perfect car for you. Still, you may be wondering how the 2018 MINI Cooper Clubman compares to similar compact cars. Let's take a look at it next to another similar vehicle that's gained widespread popularity, the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek.
Driving and Performance
When it comes to driving and performance, the 2018 MINI Cooper Clubman wins, hands down. It has highly responsive steering, solid braking, and a powerful little engine that make driving engaging and exciting. You'll feel in complete control behind the wheel of the new 2018 Clubman! In comparison, the 2018 Crostreck, while nice, isn't nearly as entertaining. Even base 2018 Clubman models come equipped with a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder turbo engine that offers lots of speed and power. You'll have no issue getting up on speed on the interstate or highway; the 2018 Clubman has some of the best acceleration ratings in its class!
Interior Features and Trims
The interior of the new Clubman is surprisingly spacious! That's one of the things drivers are raving about for 2018. You will have no problem getting comfortable and may find that you have more head and leg room than you ever expected. Cabin materials are of good design and premium quality in general. All 2018 Clubman models have gone out of their way to make driver comfort and convenience a top priority. Alternatively, the interior of the new Crosstrek, while adequate, simply doesn't measure up to the 2018 MINI Cooper's standards.If interior amenities are your bag, we recommend a 2018 Clubman.
Safety and Technology
Safety and driver technology is an absolute must on today's busy roads. The 2018 Clubman is loaded with features aimed at improving driver safety. All of the 2018 Clubman models come standard with newly re-designed rearview backup cameras. Highly contrasting instrument panels and bright headlights add to safety. The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek is overall pretty safe but doesn't have some of the standard safety features that the Clubman does.
