The MINI Clubman costs RM298,888, RM9,888 more than the Toyota Harrier at RM289,000. It is the quicker, more compact choice: 192 hp, 280 Nm and 7.2 seconds to 100 km/h versus the Harrier’s 175 hp petrol engine and 118 hp electric motor.

Harrier

Pick the Toyota Harrier if you need the larger 4,740-mm SUV body, 396-litre boot, hybrid assistance and the stronger suite of driver-assistance equipment.
