Mini Aceman: Der neue Elektro-Mini hat eine Ladehemmung

Mini baut den Aceman in China. Der Preis bleibt trotzdem ambitioniert. Denn das Modell bietet nur eine vergleichsweise kleine Batterie und schwächelt auch an anderer Stelle.

Mini Aceman: Der neue Elektro-Mini hat eine Ladehemmung

Innsbruck – The Mini brand is synonymous with exhilarating driving experiences, often described as akin to riding a "go-kart" for the Cooper models. The transition to electric mobility has proven challenging for such manufacturers, as many fans lament the absence of engine noise, which contributes to the emotional allure of traditional cars.

Nevertheless, even Mini has embraced the future with the Aceman, its only wholly electric offering. Measuring 4.08 meters in length, the Aceman is four centimeters longer than the Cooper five-door but remains shorter than the 4.44-meter Countryman. Despite its compact size, the Aceman boasts ample rear-seat room, comparable to that found in many electric vehicles, while its trunk space is limited to 300 liters.

However, this limitation can be circumvented by folding the rear seats, effectively doubling the available space to approximately 1,000 liters. Visually, the Aceman bears the unmistakable Mini signature, albeit with a more whimsical and less aggressive aesthetic than its Cooper counterparts. Since 2024, the Aceman has been manufactured in China, alongside the Cooper's electric variant, in a joint facility operated by BMW and Great Wall Motors.
