MINI JCW vs Toyota Camry

Two large cars, compared on the same official records: MOT and inspection results, safety ratings, fuel use, recalls and owner complaints. 3 like-for-like measures: the MINI JCW leads on 1, the Toyota Camry on 2.

Where each one leads

MINI JCW

  • Fewer MINI JCW cars in the Netherlands carry an illogical odometer record (0.0% against 4.9%).

Toyota Camry

  • On Canada's official test the most frugal 2026 Toyota Camry uses 5.0 l/100 km, the 2026 MINI JCW 7.7.
  • New Toyota Camry cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 124 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 183 for the MINI JCW in 2022.

Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
