Reinventing the iconic MINI for the electric age, the MINI Aceman is a bold new entry in the premium small crossover segment. This all-electric offering blends classic MINI design cues with a focus on functionality and space, making it a compelling option for urban adventurers and eco-conscious drivers.
Small But Mighty: Big Things Come in Compact Packages
The MINI Aceman occupies a unique niche in the electric vehicle (EV) market. With a length of just over four meters (13.1 feet), it offers the maneuverability and agility that MINI is known for while still managing to seat five comfortably. This combination of compactness and surprising spaciousness makes it ideal for navigating city streets and tight parking spaces without sacrificing passenger or cargo room.
Electric Performance Packed with Punch
The MINI Aceman comes in two electric powertrain options, both delivering peppy performance and a focus on sustainable driving. The standard MINI Aceman E boasts an electric motor with 184 horsepower (hp) and 290 lb-ft of torque. This translates to a 0-60 mph time of 7.9 seconds and a top speed of 100 mph (160 km/h). The battery pack offers a driving range of up to 193 miles (310 km), making it well-suited for everyday commutes and errands.
For those seeking a bit more oomph, the MINI Aceman SE steps up the power game with a single electric motor churning out 218 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque. This zippy variant achieves a 0-60 mph time of 7.1 seconds and a top speed of 106 mph (170 km/h). The larger 54.2 kWh battery in the SE model extends the driving range to a maximum of 252 miles (406 km), offering greater flexibility for longer trips. Both models support AC charging at 11 kW, with the Aceman E reaching DC fast-charging speeds of up to 75 kW and the Aceman SE reaching up to 95 kW.
Distinctive Design: A Modern Take on Classic MINI Character
The MINI Aceman stays true to the brand's heritage with its bold design language and playful touches. The iconic circular headlights flank a hexagonal grille, instantly recognizable as a MINI. However, the Aceman takes a more muscular stance with its squared-off wheel arches and higher ground clearance, hinting at its crossover capabilities.
A focus on functionality doesn't compromise on style. The roof features integrated rails, perfect for mounting cargo boxes or bicycles for weekend adventures. Union Jack taillights, a signature MINI design element, complete the look.
