What owners say
Aggregated from UK owner forums and communities - the things you only learn after living with the car.
MINI Countryman
E
Owners love
- First MINI purpose-built as an EV with proven BMW iX1 dual-motor AWD technology and 313 hp output
- Owners praise the new MINI OS 9 navigation system, one-pedal driving, and driving assist modes
- Circular touchscreen display is innovative and the first fully-usable design of its kind
Watch out for
- Styling is controversial and considered generic compared to previous generations, lacking distinctive MINI character
- Front end proportions appear elongated and clumsy, with some comparing it unfavorably to ordinary sedans and the Ford Flex
- Charging speeds are modest at 100-130 kW DC, below current industry standards
Owner tips
- Use Shell Recharge integration or third-party NACS adapters like Lectron Vortex Plus to enable Plug & Charge on compatible networks like IONNA and Tesla
- Inspect interior trim carefully during purchase, particularly in Favored trim models, and examine official photos to verify proportions before committing
Peugeot e-2008
Allure 54kWh 156
Owners love
- Owners describe it as comfortable, quiet and easy to drive, with relaxing adaptive cruise on the motorway.
- The mix of physical buttons and touchscreen, the 3D dials and the reversing camera get praise.
- Several owners report no faults and no battery degradation over several years.
Watch out for
- Real-world range is well below WLTP, especially in winter without a heat pump; around 130 to 180 miles is commonly reported.
- The MyPeugeot app is widely criticised as unreliable.
- The range estimate on the dash is inconsistent.
Owner tips
- Plan on about 170 to 180 miles in mild weather and much less in winter.
- Use phone mirroring for navigation and voice commands.

Frequently asked questions
Is the MINI Countryman worth the extra £3,440 over the Peugeot e-2008?
The MINI Countryman costs £3,440 more than the Peugeot e-2008. For that premium it adds 64 miles more WLTP range, 30 kW faster peak rapid charging and 35 kW more power. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the MINI Countryman comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the MINI Countryman or the Peugeot e-2008?
The Peugeot e-2008 is £3,440 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £144 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Peugeot e-2008 comes out roughly £3,400 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the MINI Countryman and Peugeot e-2008 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 258 miles for the MINI Countryman and 205 miles for the Peugeot e-2008 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The MINI Countryman goes roughly 53 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the MINI Countryman or the Peugeot e-2008?
The Peugeot e-2008 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 73 mm narrower than the MINI Countryman. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 630 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-2008 and about 557 mm of total clearance for the MINI Countryman. The Peugeot e-2008 also turns in a 1.0 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the MINI Countryman or the Peugeot e-2008?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the MINI Countryman and 84% for the Peugeot e-2008. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
