Munich, February 5, 2024 – Brace yourselves, folks, because the MINI Aceman is gearing up for its grand entrance, and it’s got a shocking twist up its electric sleeve! In a daring move that proves MINI’s commitment to electrification, this new model is set to electrify the streets with its quirky charm and eco-conscious punch. But before it makes its debut, it’s been enduring some seriously sizzling challenges.
Currently, the MINI Aceman is navigating the scorching sands of the desert as part of its final testing regimen. You read that right, this little electric dynamo is braving temperatures that would make a desert lizard break a sweat! With dimensions that fall perfectly between the MINI Cooper and the MINI Countryman, it’s a crossover that’s primed to be a showstopper.
Measuring in at 4,075 mm in length, 1,754 mm in width, and 1,495 mm in height, the MINI Aceman strikes a balance that’ll make other cars green with envy. Sporting four doors and a spacious tailgate, it’s got room to fit five of your nearest and dearest.
Stefanie Wurst, the head of MINI, couldn’t be more thrilled, exclaiming, “The all-electric MINI Aceman opens new opportunities for customers who want a smaller crossover than our successful MINI Countryman. The consistent electrification of our product portfolio makes a clear statement about the future of the MINI brand.”
But back to the desert challenge! This plucky MINI has already conquered the frigid Arctic Circle, and now it’s taking on the toasty sands of the desert with style. Testers are pushing the electric envelope as they scrutinize every aspect of this electrifying vehicle. From its air conditioning and battery charging to its ability to stay cool under the blistering 50°C heat, the MINI Aceman is proving it’s got more than just good looks.
Speaking of good looks, this MINI marvel will only be available as a fully electric vehicle, with a battery packing 54.2 kWh of power. Its design philosophy follows the brand’s golden rule: maximum interior space with minimal external dimensions. With short overhangs and a two-box design, the MINI Aceman offers ample room for five passengers and their gear while maintaining that signature MINI agility.
So, if you’re ready for a MINI that’s electric, efficient, and ready to take on the world’s harshest conditions, keep your eyes peeled for the MINI Aceman. It’s set to make waves in the crossover world, and it’s bringing the heat – literally!
