Mini Cooper 2007 vs Toyota Yaris 2005
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Diesel | 1.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Mini Cooper) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Toyota Yaris) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing chain | Timing chain | |
Performance | |||
| Power: | 110 HP | 69 HP | |
| Torque: | 240 NM | 93 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 9.9 seconds | 15.7 seconds | |
|
Mini Cooper is more dynamic to drive. Mini Cooper engine produces 41 HP more power than Toyota Yaris, whereas torque is 147 NM more than Toyota Yaris. Thanks to more power Mini Cooper reaches 100 km/h speed 5.8 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 4.4 | 5.4 | |
|
The Mini Cooper is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Mini Cooper consumes 1 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Toyota Yaris, which means that by driving the Mini Cooper over 15,000 km in a year you can save 150 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 40 litres | 42 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 900 km in combined cycle | 770 km in combined cycle | |
| Mini Cooper gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 280'000 km | 280'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 18 years | 21 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on BMW 1 sērija | Installed on at least 5 other car models, including Citroen C1, Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 107, Peugeot 108 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Toyota Yaris might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Mini Cooper engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
| Toyota Yaris 2005 1.0 engine: Engine often vibrates and has difficulty starting in cold weather. Timing chain lifetime is not very long. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 3.70 m | 3.75 m | |
| Width: | 1.68 m | 1.70 m | |
| Height: | 1.41 m | 1.53 m | |
|
Mini Cooper is smaller. Mini Cooper is 5 cm shorter than the Toyota Yaris, 2 cm narrower, while the height of Mini Cooper is 12 cm lower. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 160 litres | 275 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down |
680 litres | 1086 litres | |
|
Toyota Yaris has more luggage space. Mini Cooper has 115 litres less trunk space than the Toyota Yaris. The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in Toyota Yaris (by 406 litres). | |||
| Turning diameter: | 10.7 meters | 8.8 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Mini Cooper is 1.9 metres more than that of the Toyota Yaris, which means Mini Cooper can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Gross weight (kg): | 1`500 | 1`440 | |
| Safety: | |||
| Quality: | high | above average | |
| Mini Cooper has slightly fewer faults. Deffect rate in annual technical inspection is similar for both cars, it's slightly higher for Toyota Yaris, so Mini Cooper quality could be a bit better. | |||
