Toyota Aygo 2005 vs Mini Cooper 2004
| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.4 Diesel | 1.6 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Toyota Aygo) 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 (Mini Cooper) 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 belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 55 HP | 115 HP | |
| Torque: | 130 NM | 150 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 16.8 seconds | 10.4 seconds | |
|
Mini Cooper is a more dynamic driving. Toyota Aygo engine produces 60 HP less power than Mini Cooper, whereas torque is 20 NM less than Mini Cooper. Due to the lower power, Toyota Aygo reaches 100 km/h speed 6.4 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 4.2 | 6.7 | |
|
The Toyota Aygo is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Toyota Aygo consumes 2.5 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Mini Cooper, which means that by driving the Toyota Aygo over 15,000 km in a year you can save 375 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 35 litres | 50 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 830 km in combined cycle | 740 km in combined cycle | |
| 1020 km on highway | 840 km on highway | ||
| Toyota Aygo gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 390'000 km | 390'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 2 years | 7 years | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Mini Cooper might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 3.41 m | 3.63 m | |
| Width: | 1.62 m | 1.69 m | |
| Height: | 1.46 m | 1.41 m | |
|
Toyota Aygo is smaller, but higher. Toyota Aygo is 22 cm shorter than the Mini Cooper, 7 cm narrower, while the height of Toyota Aygo is 5 cm higher. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 139 litres | 160 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down |
751 litres | 670 litres | |
| Toyota Aygo has 21 litres less trunk space than the Mini Cooper. The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in Toyota Aygo (by 81 litres). | |||
| Turning diameter: | 9.4 meters | 10.7 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Toyota Aygo is 1.3 metres less than that of the Mini Cooper, which means Toyota Aygo can be easier to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Gross weight (kg): | 1`245 | 1`480 | |
| Safety: | no data | no data | |
| Quality: | high | average | |
| Toyota Aygo has fewer problems. According to annual technical inspection data Mini Cooper has serious deffects in 25 percent more cases than Toyota Aygo, so Toyota Aygo quality is probably significantly better | |||
