Meet the MINI Aceman: a plucky, all-electric crossover channelling the brand’s legacy of space-smart design with a modern twist. Clocking in at just over four metres, this pocket-sized marvel revives Sir Alec Issigonis’s 1959 blueprint — squeezing surprising cabin space into a petite frame — but swaps petrol for a zero-emission heartbeat.
Five seats, a 300-litre boot (stretchable to 1 005 litres via clever configurations), and MINI’s signature zippy handling ensure urban adventures or weekend escapes stay emission-free without skimping on practicality.

Mini’s electric charge arrives amid a transitional chapter. While global sales dipped slightly from 292 000 units in 2022 to 280 000 in 2023 — partly due to phasing out combustion engines— the brand’s electric lineup has sparked enthusiasm.
By mid-2023, the MINI Electric claimed the title of Europe’s second-most popular electric city car, hinting at shifting consumer appetites. The Aceman, slotting neatly between the classic three-door hatch and the larger Countryman, taps into this trend, courting drivers seeking compact agility with a eco-conscious edge.
Visually, the Aceman struts a bold, almost cheeky confidence: pixelated LED headlights wink at modern tech, while chiselled wheel arches and a blanked-off grille nod to its electric soul.
Inside, sustainability meets futurism — think recycled fabrics, a pared-back dashboard dominated by a circular OLED display, and ambient lighting that shifts hues with your mood. A WLTP-estimated 406 km range and regenerative braking tuned for one-pedal driving make it a trusty companion beyond city sprawl, while parking aids and adaptive cruise control add a dash of grown-up polish to MINI’s trademark playful character.

“The MINI Aceman is a strong character with his own young personality within the new MINI family. It has an independent design language, is compact and looks agile. With its distinctive expression, it is the perfect everyday companion for those who value individuality in urban areas,” says Oliver Heilmer, Head of MINI Design.
“The MINI Aceman is both a practical and expressive, unique companion in everyday life. It steps out into the world fresh and carefree and takes up its place at the centre of the MINI family. It is an independent character that can be quite ‘edgy’ and appeals to customers who – irrespective of their age – value individuality and distinctiveness in urban spaces.”
