    The most noticeable design feature of the new Mini Clubman is the newly designed radiator grille, which now extends across the entire bumper. New structure for the air inlet add to the refreshed face.

The daytime driving light is integrated in the parking lights in the lower section of the front apron. The optional LED headlamps likewise feature a new design. The adaptive LED headlamps with Matrix function for the high beam and LED fog lamps are available as a new option.

    The updated Mini Clubman is now fitted as standard with LED rear lights. These can be optionally fitted had with a Union Jack motif to underscore the brand’s British heritage.

As an alternative to body colour, the roof and exterior mirror caps can also be finished in black, white or silver. With the optional Piano Black Exterior for the Mini Cooper S Clubman and the Mini Cooper SD Clubman, the surrounds of the headlights, rear lights and radiator grille are finished in high-gloss black instead of chrome.

    Finally, new 18-inch light alloy wheels in the design variants Multiray Spoke 2-tone and MINI Yours British Spoke 2-tone, along with 19-inch light alloy wheels in John Cooper Works Circuit Spoke 2-tone design have been added to the Clubman arsenal.
