Shoppers around Space City looking for a spacious vehicle for the whole family might be surprised that MINI has two distinct choices. With similar cargo space, the same style of MINI individualism, and many of the same features, it can be hard to decide between the two. Luckily, Momentum MINI is happy to help you find the right MINI vehicle for you and your family.
Interior Space: MINI Countryman vs. MINI Clubman
When it comes to cargo space, the two are almost identical. Shopping at River Oaks Shopping District or fitting your dog in the back for a walk in Memorial Park is easy in both, with 47.6 cubic feet of space in the MINI Countryman and 47.9 in the Clubman. But the MINI Countryman provides more total passenger volume, with 96.9 cubic feet of passenger room vs. the Clubman's 92.5. So, if passenger room is a priority, the 2024 MINI Countryman is the clear choice.
Performance: MINI Countryman vs. MINI Clubman
The MINI Cooper Clubman comes standard with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine making 189 horsepower. Houston shoppers can opt for the same engine in the MINI Countryman, but the MINI Clubman is quicker from zero to 60 mph by 0.3 seconds. The 2024 MINI Clubman weighs over 100 pounds less than the Countryman, too, so it's more fun to drive on Beltway 8 or the curvy sections of the Grand Parkway.
Overall Versatility of the MINI Countryman vs. MINI Clubman
If you plan to take I-45 north or TX-249 out of town to explore all Texas has to offer, you might want the added security of ALL4® all-wheel drive. It's a less expensive option on the MINI Countryman, which also features a higher ride height and additional width for a bit more surefootedness in questionable road conditions. The MINI Countryman also offers a larger fuel tank, so you can go further between fill-ups.
