Summer is on our doorstep, and 3Birds Template wants to make sure it's one to remember. Of course, what better way to make that happen than with a brand-new car? Now is a great time to upgrade your ride and we have just the car for you.

The all-new MINI Clubman returns bigger, better, and more practical than ever. There’s a lot to love about the new model, but we only have so much time to tell you about it, so we’ve decided to compile a list of seven reasons why the all-new MINI Clubman is your perfect pick for summer fun.

1. Four proper doors

The all-new Clubman rocks four proper doors, making it easy and practical to share the adventure with family, friends, and pets. It's a big and exciting world out there--don't explore it alone!

2. Increased interior space

The all-new Clubman features four added inches between the axles, making it the longest production vehicle MINI has ever built. That brings total rear legroom to 34.3 inches, making it the roomiest MINI around and an ideal choice for road trips.

3. Increased cargo space

The new Clubman makes short work of cargo by offering 17 cubic feet of space with the rear seats up. That number swells to an impressive 49.9 cubes with the rear seats folded down, and the rear cargo hold is easily accessible thanks to a pair of van-like cargo doors. So load up and let loose--the all-new Clubman can handle it. 

4. Retro chic design

MINI has always championed retro chic designs that provide the utmost in quality and personality. The all-new Clubman is no different, thanks to an interior that pays respect to its fun-loving past while showcasing something a bit more sophisticated for modern drivers. Is it too early to call it "the hottest summer accessory of 2016"? Our hearts say yes, but our lawyers say no. 

5. Cutting-edge tech

MINI may have a rich heritage, but that doesn’t mean it’s stuck in the past. The all-new Clubman features the latest in connectivity tech, including integrated apps, music streaming, and other useful driving tools. 

6. Powerful engine options

Two great powertrains are at your disposal on the all-new Clubman. Choose between a 1.5-liter three-cylinder and a pulse-pounding turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. (Hint: there is no wrong choice.)

7. Engaging driving dynamics

Signature MINI handling is a hallmark of all MINI models, and the all-new Clubman is no different. Indeed, it offers a new level of MINI magic, thanks to handling so good it's bound to put a smile on your face.
