MINI近日发布了接近量产版Clubman概念车细节,该车将在日内瓦车展与公众见面。该车虽然被称作概念车，但它实际上非常接近量产版，这也是MINI有史以来最大的车型，它的长度达到4223毫米，宽1844毫米，高1450毫米。与前代车型不同的是，新款Clubman采用四个向前开启的五框前铰链车门，而尾门则继续保留对开式车门。新车的车头采用一对凹陷式前大灯，内部集成日间行驶灯，这种设计未来将扩展至MINI家族所有车型。车辆还配备19英寸合金轮圈和更大的水平设置尾灯组以突出更宽的车身（宽度增加了170毫米）。该车还配备了所谓的“气帘”，它位于前裙外侧部分，可进一步优化轮拱部分的气动布局。车厢内的设计更像是一辆概念车，而据MINI介绍，未来量产版的内装设计也将与概念车非常接近。内饰采用更高档材质，包括实木，真皮及镀铬装饰，使整个内部更显档次，不过预计最终量产版将略微低调一些。新款MINI Clubman将在年底前上市，因此MINI很有可能利用10月的巴黎车展发布量产版Clubman。

 

MINI reveals near-production Clubman concept

MINI has taken the wraps off the Clubman concept which will be showcased in public next week at the Geneva Motor Show.

 

Despite being billed as a concept, the Clubman seen here is pretty much ready to go into production and become the largest model MINI has ever made as it is 4223mm long, 1844mm wide and 1450mm tall. Unlike its predecessor, the new Clubman features four frameless front-hinged doors while the split rear doors have been retained.

 

MINI has installed a pair of recessed headlights equipped with daytime running lights forming a continuous ring which will likely be implemented on the entire revamped lineup. It comes with large 19-inch alloy wheels and bigger horizontally positioned taillights to emphasize the added width (+170mm) of the car. The Clubman concept comes with so-called "air curtains" which are positioned on the outer section of the front apron providing the wheel arches with an "aerodynamically optimised closure."

 

The cabin is more worthy of a concept which according to MINI provides a preview of what's to come in terms of interiors. They have combined premium materials like wood trims and leather with chrome touches on the controls to give the concept a more upscale look and feel but we expect the production to be slightly toned down.

 

The new MINI Clubman will probably reach showrooms before the end of the year so chances are the production model will be shown in October at the Paris Motor Show.
