Frequently asked questions
Is the Toyota C-HR+ worth the extra £1,490 over the MINI Countryman?
The Toyota C-HR+ costs £1,490 more than the MINI Countryman. On the headline specs that premium buys little measurable advantage - the two are closely matched on range, charging and space. The MINI Countryman is not just cheaper - it also offers 27 miles more WLTP range. 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 Toyota C-HR+?
The MINI Countryman is £1,490 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £136 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 £1,450 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 Toyota C-HR+ like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 258 miles for the MINI Countryman and 235 miles for the Toyota C-HR+ - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The MINI Countryman goes roughly 23 miles further between charging stops. 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 Toyota C-HR+?
The two are within 27 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 557 mm of total clearance for the MINI Countryman and about 530 mm of total clearance for the Toyota C-HR+. The Toyota C-HR+ also turns in a 0.4 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 Toyota C-HR+?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the MINI Countryman and 84% for the Toyota C-HR+. 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.
