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-3008
Allure
Owners love
- Owners praise the comfortable ride, high driving position and roomy, family-sized interior.
- Even the entry Allure is considered well equipped.
- Adaptive cruise control and lane assistance are described as easy to live with.
Watch out for
- The MyPeugeot app is the most common complaint: slow to connect, stale data and unreliable remote pre-conditioning.
- Owners note a heat pump was an option rather than standard on some versions, and winter efficiency drops noticeably.
- Some owners see public rapid charging well below the quoted 160 kW peak.
Owner tips
- Check whether the car has the optional heat pump if you drive a lot in winter.
- Test the MyPeugeot app with the seller before buying if remote charging and pre-conditioning matter to you.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Peugeot e-3008 worth the extra £4,060 over the MINI Countryman?
The Peugeot e-3008 costs £4,060 more than the MINI Countryman. For that premium it adds 30 kW faster peak rapid charging and 128 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Peugeot e-3008 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the MINI Countryman or the Peugeot e-3008?
The MINI Countryman is £4,060 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 MINI Countryman comes out roughly £4,100 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-3008 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 258 miles for the MINI Countryman and 272 miles for the Peugeot e-3008 - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 29-30 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the MINI Countryman or the Peugeot e-3008?
The MINI Countryman is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 52 mm narrower than the Peugeot e-3008. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 557 mm of total clearance for the MINI Countryman and about 505 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-3008. The Peugeot e-3008 also turns in a 0.8 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-3008?
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-3008. 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.
