Mini Aceman: electric crossover, batteries and trims
Mini Aceman — a compact electric crossover introduced in 2024 and slotting in between the Cooper and Countryman. We look at the versions, batteries, equipment, and what to know when buying a used electric car.
Aceman in brief
Aceman is the latest Mini electric car, similar in size to the Cooper but with a more practical body. The interior is dominated by a curved OLED screen, and the seats are wider than in the smaller hatchback.
The car is manufactured in China as a joint project with Great Wall and sold in many markets, including Europe. Due to its newness, there aren't many used examples on the market yet.
Which version to choose
Several versions are offered: Aceman E with a smaller battery and Aceman SE with a larger battery and more powerful engine. The sporty John Cooper Works version is the top-tier model.
For city driving, the Aceman E might suffice, but for those who drive more frequently, it's worth considering the SE for its greater range.
Battery, power and charging
The Aceman E has around a 42 kWh battery and about 184 hp, while the Aceman SE has around a 54 kWh battery and about 218 hp. The John Cooper Works version boasts around 258 hp.
The car can be charged from a home socket and with fast DC chargers. The range depends on the version, driving style, and outside temperature, so it's worth checking the real-world figures individually.
What to check when buying a used Aceman
Request a battery condition report and check if the car has been updated according to the manufacturer's software versions.
Test all screen functions, the charging port, and the heating system. Ensure all charging methods (AC and DC) work.
Check the current warranty, as batteries usually come with a separate, longer warranty.
