The ultra-cool electric mini Aceman is here: is that British Fan still there?
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, the super cute new mini Aceman has finally been released! When you see it on the road in the future, don't be stupid and can't tell which MINI it is, it is a pure electric crossover positioned between the MINI Cooper and the Countryman.

The Aceman is available in two powertrains, with the base 'E' variant with a 42.5kWh battery that can run 313 kilometers (WLTP mode) at a time and accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers in 7.9 seconds.
For those looking for something a little more aggressive, you can opt for the "SE" model, which has an electric motor that makes 221 hp, a 0-100 acceleration time of 7.1 seconds, and an upgraded battery of 54.2 kWh, giving it a range of 405 km. It is said that both cars can reach 80% power after 30 minutes of charging, which is quite convenient.

The Aceman chassis has also been improved, and the handling is said to be more precise and comfortable. Initially, there will be three configurations, namely the Classic, Prestige and Sport models. The main differences are exterior color (more Sunset Indigo and Rebel Red), wheel style and size (17 to 19 inches available). The sporty model is also a bit more special, with a bit of John Cooper Works design elements for a cooler look, and a more exaggerated rear spoiler.

Overall, the Aceman still continues the classic MINI design, with a boxy body and a short front and rear body to highlight flexibility. The front face has an octagonal grille, and the headlights are still classic round, but they are a little sharper, and there are LED light clusters inside.
The sides of the body are surrounded by a lot of black, and the wheel arches are also more prominent, which looks stocky. The taillights at the rear of the car are still familiar with the style of the rice flag, but the rear spoiler is a bit low, and it looks a bit like a puffer fish that has only eaten from a distance (don't think about it).

Inside, it's still a familiar formula: a round centre display (this time a 9.4-inch OLED screen), refined paddles and a retro-inspired Vescin steering wheel. Depending on the configuration, the color, material and some logos of the interior will also be a little different.

But no matter which model you choose, the interior of the Aceman is quite stylish. Ambient lighting, angled speakers and a curved instrument panel give the car a stylish feel, and an optional panoramic sunroof enhances the sense of space.
In terms of storage space, the trunk volume is about 300 liters, which can be expanded to more than 1,000 liters with the rear seats folded, which is enough for daily use.

THE 9.4-INCH OLED DISPLAY IS POWERED BY THE LATEST MINI OPERATING SYSTEM, WHICH SHOWS YOU SPEED, BATTERY LEVEL, AND EVEN THE CHARTS OF YOUR MOST RECENT HITS. Don't want to look down at the dashboard?
Below the display is the control area for various functions, such as gear shifting, parking, start/stop, etc. There's also a small knob to turn up the volume. MINI also thoughtfully put extra cup holders and wireless charging pads in the car, and the details are praised!
In terms of technology configuration, the most interesting is the MINI's virtual pet Spike. Spike can help you navigate navigation and entertainment systems, but it can "smash" (just shake a bit) on your virtual desktop.
While Spike can't help you park, Aceman has a 12-camera parking assist system that can help you find a parking space and park automatically, which is pretty useful.

MINI boss Stefanie Wurst says the Aceman can drive smoothly in crowded cities, while also balancing the practicality of a crossover with the MINI's characteristic go-kart driving experience. They are confident that the car will be a success.
Aceman will be delivered starting in November this year, and you'll get a virtual pet as well! [White Eyes] [Xiong Ji] [Gaze]
