Mini has announced that it’s adding all-wheel drive to the Mini Clubman. The system, which they’re calling All-4, is front-biased, sending power to the rear wheels only when it’s needed, such as during bad weather or high-speed situations. And speaking of high speed, Mini claims a Clubman S with All-4 gets to 60 in 6.6 seconds, which is a couple tenths faster than the front-wheel-drive model. That said, we’d like to point out that yes, it’s still too big for our tastes.
