About the Mini Aceman SE (2024)
Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.
The Aceman is the first dedicated Mini crossover in the brand's electric line-up. It sits between the Cooper Electric and the Countryman in length (4.08 m). Production is in China at Spotlight Automotive, a BMW-Great Wall joint venture; the platform (J05) is EV-only.
In practice
The SE uses a 49.2 kWh net battery (54.2 kWh nominal) and a front-mounted 218 hp motor. WLTP range is about 406 km (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). DC charging peaks at 95 kW; 10-80% takes about 29 minutes under favourable conditions (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). The indicative starting price is around 39,550 euro in Germany; this is a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.
Points to note
The DC peak of 95 kW is modest compared with same-class rivals (Kia EV3 around 102 kW, Volvo EX30 around 153 kW); plan charging stops on longer trips. Braked towing weight is only 750 kg, limited for any trailer beyond a small box trailer. Boot space of 300 litres is small for a crossover; the J05 platform prioritises rear legroom over luggage volume.
