Meet the New MINI Aceman: The All-Electric Crossover

Last month in Munich, MINI unveiled their latest innovation: the MINI Aceman, an all-electric crossover that’s both compact and spacious. This new model stays true to MINI’s legacy of smart space utilization and offers a modern, eco-friendly drive.

What Makes the MINI Aceman Special?

  1. All-Electric Excitement:
    • The Aceman is fully electric, delivering the thrilling go-kart feeling MINI is famous for, but with zero emissions.
  2. Compact Yet Spacious:
    • Despite its compact size, the Aceman is designed to maximize interior space. It comfortably seats five and provides plenty of cargo room.
  3. City-Friendly Design:
    • Perfect for city driving, the Aceman is agile and easy to maneuver through crowded streets.

Exterior Design: Sporty and Bold

The MINI Aceman’s design is all about sporty agility and a confident presence. Here’s what stands out:

  • Striking Front-End:
    • The front features an octagonal grille, a twist on the classic MINI hexagon, available in Vibrant Silver or Jet Black.
    • Angular LED headlights add a unique touch, while the grille and underride protection give it a robust look.
  • Compact Proportions:
    • The Aceman’s streamlined front, short overhangs, and two-box design are classic MINI, now with an electric twist.
  • Adventure-Ready:
    • Roof rails and wheels ranging from 17” to 19” enhance its adventurous character, making it ready for any journey.

Quick and Easy: Charging the MINI Aceman

Charging the MINI Aceman is a breeze. Here’s how it works:

  • Standard Charging:
    • Use an alternating current (AC) charger at 11 kW for regular charging.
  • Fast Charging:
    • The Aceman E supports fast charging with direct current (DC) at 75 kW.
    • The Aceman SE can fast charge at up to 95 kW.
    • At a fast charging station, you can juice up the battery from 10% to 80% in just under 30 minutes.

Smart Charging with MINI Navigation

  • Optimal Battery Temperature:
    • When you activate MINI Navigation, the system can pre-condition the battery to the ideal temperature for efficient charging, based on current weather conditions.
    • This feature is especially handy in cold weather, cutting down charging time significantly.

Trim Options: Tailor Your MINI Aceman

Choose from four distinct trims to match your style:

  • Essential Trim:
    • Clean and minimalist, highlighting functional parts with a Vibrant Silver logo.
  • Classic Trim:
    • Offers black or white contrasting roof and mirrors, with a high-gloss black grille.
  • Favored Trim:
    • Adds the Multitone Roof, white mirror caps, and a Vibrant Silver grille frame for a more expressive look.
  • JCW Trim:
    • Inspired by motorsports, featuring a Chili Red roof, red bonnet stripes, and a high-gloss black grille with a JCW logo.

Interior Design: Charismatic Simplicity

Inside, the MINI Aceman shines with a design philosophy called “Charismatic Simplicity”:

  • Modern Meets Classic:
    • A central OLED display, easy-to-handle steering wheel, and the classic toggle bar blend the old with the new.
  • Spacious and Bright:
    • The roomy interior, with ample shoulder space and legroom, feels even more open thanks to a panoramic glass roof.
  • Stylish and Functional:
    • Features like ambient lighting, free-standing door handles, and diagonal speaker covers create a stylish, modern vibe.
    • The dashboard’s knitted material and recycled polyester door trims add a homely touch with bold color contrasts.
  • Comfort for All:
    • The comfortable seats, available in textile or perforated Vescin, and a spacious rear area that fits three passengers ensure everyone rides in comfort.
