The MINI Aceman is here, and it’s unlike any MINI you’ve seen before.
Combining the brand’s compact footprint with the ruggedness of a crossover, the Aceman introduces an all-electric platform to Singapore’s streets.
As Daren Ching, Head of MINI Asia, put it, “The Aceman is our vision of urban adventure, bold, distinctive, and, of course, fun to drive.”
At just over four meters long, the Aceman sits between the MINI Cooper and MINI Countryman in terms of size.
From the wide, octagonal grille with vibrant silver accents to its angular LED headlights, every inch of this car is designed to stand out.
MINI’s famous “Clever Use of Space” principle shines here, with a roomy interior that seats five comfortably. The body design is streamlined, with flush door handles and a slick two-box structure that enhances aerodynamics.
Stepping inside the Aceman, you’re greeted with MINI’s “Charismatic Simplicity” design ethos. The cockpit is pared down, focusing on the essentials while keeping a sense of fun.
Think of it as a modern nod to MINI’s heritage, with familiar features like the central OLED display and the iconic toggle bar. This time, though, the toggle bar handles everything from start/stop to volume control, creating a clean, clutter-free environment.
There’s ample shoulder room, leg space, and even a warm, ambient lighting that adjusts to your mood. The dashboard’s knitted fabric with recycled polyester extends into the door panels, giving the interior a cosy, homey feel.
The seats are made from Vescin, a high-quality material with perforations for added comfort, offering just the right mix of luxury and practicality.
The rear seats fold down in a 60:40 split, expanding the boot space from 300 litres to 1,005 litres.
The MINI Experience Modes are designed to elevate the driving experience with ambient lighting and sound settings that bring the interior to life. With modes like Go-Kart, Core, and Personal, each setting changes the vibe entirely.
The Experience Modes aren’t just visual either. Thanks to projectors that illuminate the dashboard, each mode offers a different light show across the car’s interior, making every drive feel a bit more immersive.
In Personal mode, you can even upload a photo from your phone as a background, with the colours projected throughout the car.
The Aceman is offered in two electric models: the Aceman E and Aceman SE. The Aceman E delivers 110 kW and can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.2 seconds, with a top speed of 160 km/h.
If you’re after a bit more punch, the SE model steps it up with 160 kW, hitting 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds and topping out at 170 km/h.
Range-wise, the Aceman E offers up to 310 km on a full charge, while the SE stretches that to 407 km. With 95 kW DC fast-charging capability in the SE, you can go from 10% to 80% in just under 30 minutes.
Safety in the Aceman is comprehensive. It comes equipped with Driving Assistant, which offers steering and lane assistance, making city driving more manageable. Surround View cameras and ultrasonic sensors detect nearby objects, making parking a breeze.
