据澳洲媒体报道，第二代MINI Clubman量产版将在明年9月开幕的法兰克福车展亮相。MINI在几个月前发布了接近量产版的Clubman概念车，当时车厂表示，将很快推出量产版，不过事实并非如此，该车要等到明年法兰克福车展才能发布，新车将作为2016款车型上市。该车将基于UKL平台，但将采用不同规格，而且新车将不仅有掀背车一种车型，还将衍生出其他版本。从先前拍到的谍照看，新车将采用普通的双侧车门（左右两侧各两个车门），而现行版则是左侧一个车门，右侧两个车门。为了便于存取货物，新车仍将采用对开式尾门。另外，新车将引入JCW顶级款，该车将搭载2.0升四缸涡轮增压汽油引擎，功率约为172千瓦/230马力。

 

Second generation MINI Clubman believed to arrive at 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show

Australian media is reporting the second generation MINI Clubman will be shown in production guise at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2015.

 

Several months ago MINI introduced a near-production Clubman concept indicating the real deal is nearby but it seems that won't be the case as we will have to wait until September 2015 for the second-gen.

 

According to the same report, the 2016 MINI Clubman will use a different configuration of the UKL platform and won't be just a spinoff of the regular hatchback. From previous spy images we found out the new model will come with regular side doors (two left + two right) compared to its predecessor which has one on the left and two on the right, with the one at the back being rear-hinged. To enable easier cargo loading/unloading, MINI has decided to retain the model's barn-style rear doors.

 

Although not yet confirmed, the new Clubman will likely receive a range-topping John Cooper Works version packing a 4-cylinder 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine developing approximately 230 bhp (172 kW).
