MINI CLUBMAN ALL4 OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES
The U.K. market launch of the Clubman All4 is here and we’ve got a full set of photos of MINI’s latest all wheel drive four door. We also thought this was a great time to talk a bit about what makes the All4 system special in the MINI range.

Upsides with Limited Downsides
All wheel drive is all about priories. If traction and safety is a priority over outright performance and efficiency, ALL4 should be paramount. But as we’ll find out, MINI has further reduced those traditional downsides that all wheel drive has brought. In fact performance has a good chance of being on par with the two wheel drive model and the MPG figure will likely only be marginally worse.
This is partially due to the fact that the traditional ALL4 weight penalty has gone down to only 134 lbs with this new revised version.
