FULL REVIEW: https://www.electrifying.com/reviews/mini-reviews/aceman/review

The MINI Aceman takes a bit of the Countryman’s SUV styling, and applies it to a compact hatchback that makes it the ideal option for anyone who likes the three-door-only electric MINI Cooper but needs a bit more practicality. But there’s a lot of competition at this price, ranging from five-door hatches like the Renault 5 E-Tech and Peugeot e-208 to bigger alternatives like the Kia EV3.

The Aceman shards its platform and drivetrain bits with the Cooper, which means a choice of either 38.5kWh li-ion NMC battery in the entry-level Aceman E, or 49.2kWh in the Aceman SE, for a WLTP range of up to 185- or 252 miles respectively. Those are the usable battery capacities, too, so you can work out how much a full charge would cost using those figures. If you’re paying 20p per kWh then it’d be £9.84 for a full charge in the SE, for instance, or £4.43 if you’re paying an overnight tariff of 9p per kWh.

As for real-world range, I managed 3.8 miles/kWh (which is mpg for electric cars) on a warm day and in varied conditions in the Aceman SE on 19-inch wheels, which is equivalent to just over 180 miles of range. We haven’t spent time in the Aceman in the UK, yet, but on that basis I’d expect the SE to manage 160- to 210 miles of range depending on conditions, while the E will more likely do around 120 – to 160 miles. You also get a heat pump as standard, which should help with cold weather efficiency.

Are you a fan of the new MINI Aceman? Is it on your shortlist? We love to hear what you think, so please leave your comments below.
