MINI wagons, hatchbacks and SUVs are the puppies of the automotive world: playful, zippy, full of life and always ready to put a smile on your face. The 2025 MINI Clubman is no exception. Not only does this small wagon have an infectious personality -- it also boasts a specs sheet that puts it head and shoulders over the competition.
What kind of rival models are we talking about? While nothing replicates the unique charisma and style of a new MINI, compact SUVs like the 2025 Buick Encore GX and Mazda CX-30 try to claim that they offer a unique mix of practical dimensions and performance prowess. The Volkswagen Golf GTI, a popular hot hatch, is another model that tries -- and fails -- to compete with the Clubman, particularly the Clubman John Cooper Works.
As you'll see from our 2025 MINI Clubman vs. Mazda CX-30, Buick Encore GX and VW Golf GTI comparison, though, none of these rival models can hold a candle to the one and only MINI. Read on to learn more, then visit our MINI dealer near Memphis for a 2025 Clubman review of your own.
Compare 2025 MINI Clubman Specs
As you review the2025 MINI Clubman specs, you'll notice something: its unique combination of standard turbocharged power, impressive fuel efficiency and available high-horsepower engine put this new MINI in a league of its own.
That standard turbo four-cylinder engine is especially notable among these competitors. The Buick Encore GX uses a three-cylinder turbo powertrain that is significantly smaller and less powerful than the Clubman engine; even the available Encore GX engine displaces a mere 1.3 liters and can only churn out 155 horsepower. The Mazda CX-30 isn't far behind with its non-turbocharged standard engine, while the VW Golf doesn't offer uprated engine options at all. The high-output MINI powertrain, meanwhile? It makes 301 horsepower -- over 50 more horsepower than the next most powerful model profiled here.
All this performance potential -- and yet the 2025 Clubman offers the best fuel economy of all the vehicles profiled here. Surprised? We aren't. It’s just classic MINI engineering excellence.
