Mini Countryman PHEV or Volvo PHEV

Hi

Tossing between the two. Just had a baby and the current car (Accord 2014) is proving to be small and a bit maintenance needy.

Budget is around 70~

Tossing for PHEV/EV because I have solar and majority of my trips are less than 40km.

Looked at Tesla M3 - but small for the crib.
Among the two, I’m leaning towards Mini because it looks nicer and is a bit fun to drive. Doesn’t have LKAS or blind spot though. XC40 is a bit boring but has all the assists package. XC40 is 5k more dearer than the countryman.

Mini comes with a five year service plan. Volvo not sure yet.

Any yays or nays on either?

    Yeah, Lexus NX Hybrid. Or Rav4 Hybrid and pocket the near $30k in spare change.

        I don’t think anyone of them are plug-in? RAV4 plug-in would’ve been very nice

          The RAV4 Prime is it, but we're not allowed to have them in Australia. The fossil fuel lobby has totally captured this country.

          Ok, Outlander PHEV and pocket the change.

      And the fact EV / PHEV tax will be coming for your car shortly.

    tbh I would personally just get a regular hybrid if I were in your shoes. Though it looks like you're leaning towards the mini so buy that. Go with your heart ultimately.
