Mike Shaw Subaru Compares the 2017 Outback to the 2017 MINI Cooper Clubman for the Denver, CO Area

Here in Colorado's Front Range, it's often quite handy to have a capable crossover SUV that can handle anything Mother Nature has in store. This is one of the main reasons that Subaru models are so popular on our roadways, but how does the new 2017 Subaru Outback compare to competition like the 2017 MINI Cooper Clubman? Both models are quite stylish, but look at the information below, and you'll see that you get a lot more for your money with a new Subaru Outback. Not only is the new Outback larger, allowing more comfort for passengers and more space for cargo, but every new Outback is equipped standard with symmetrical all-wheel drive. Once you see a few more examples of how the new Outback outdoes the Clubman, schedule a test drive at Mike Shaw Subaru.

2017 Subaru Outback vs 2017 MINI Cooper Clubman Design Comparison

The Subaru Outback is the flagship of the highly-acclaimed Subaru lineup, and it has a design reputation that goes well beyond its sleek and unique good looks. The MINI Cooper Clubman also enjoys a reputation for its unique style, but consider a few of the advantages the Outback holds beyond the looks. Fold the seats down in the new Subaru Outback, and you'll have up to a cavernous 73.3 cubic feet of space compared to just 47.9 cubic feet in the MINI Cooper. Even with all of the seats up, you'll still have 35.5 cubic feet of cargo space in the Subaru compared to just 17.5 cubic feet, about the size of a large sedan trunk, in the MINI. Substantially more rear legroom also makes for a much more pleasant ride in the 2017 Outback.

2017 Subaru Outback vs 2017 MINI Cooper Clubman Performance Comparison

Step behind the wheel of a new 2017 Subaru Outback, and it quickly becomes clear that it outperforms the 2017 MINI Cooper Clubman by a lot. The standard four-cylinder BOXER engine in the Outback provides 175 horsepower to an advanced continuously variable automatic transmission which distributes the power to every wheel through the renowned symmetrical all-wheel drive system. The new MINI Cooper Clubman, on the other hand, makes due with just 134 horsepower and a manual transmission at the entry level. All-wheel drive and an automatic are pricey upgrades. The superior ground clearance with symmetrical all-wheel drive that comes with every new Outback will also be much more helpful in getting through snow banks or an adventure beyond where the road ends.

2017 Subaru Outback vs 2017 MINI Cooper Clubman Safety Comparison

Two-row SUV models are great for families, and this isn't the kind of cargo to take chances with. While the award-winning Subaru Outback and the MINI Cooper Clubman are both equipped with modern safety features we expect like airbags, traction control, antilock brakes, and more, there are a few important distinctions. The standard symmetrical all-wheel drive system that comes with the new Outback doesn't only make your journey on frozen winter roads safer, it provides superior traction on every surface for safer control. You simply can't take chances when it comes to safety, and these plus many more features make 2017 Outback the clear choice in this category.
