The MINI Aceman’s design is a fresh yet unmistakably MINI interpretation, merging compact dimensions with a spacious interior that comfortably seats five.

True to MINI’s "Charismatic Simplicity" design ethos, the Aceman features a striking octagonal front grille framed in Vibrant Silver, distinct LED headlights with customizable light modes, and 19-inch Hexagram spoke wheels that give it a rugged yet stylish stance on the road.

The crossover aesthetic is further enhanced by robust wheel arches, roof rails, and a sporty skid plate, rounding off its dynamic silhouette. At the rear, MINI’s iconic upright LED taillights and sleek horizontal lines add a touch of nostalgia, while still firmly grounded in contemporary design.

Vi Thim Juan, Managing Director of Auto Bavaria, emphasized the strategic importance of this launch, noting, "With the MINI Aceman, we continue to elevate the premium electric vehicle market in Malaysia, catering to customers who seek innovation and sustainability in their driving experience. Our commitment at Auto Bavaria goes beyond delivering vehicles; it encompasses a seamless ownership journey marked by quality, exclusivity, and consistent service."

Auto Bavaria Tebrau, MINI’s exclusive dealership in Johor, is proud to lead the way in introducing the Aceman to southern Malaysian customers.

Benjamin Ang, Dealer Principal at Auto Bavaria Tebrau, highlighted the dealership’s dedication to premium service, saying, “Our team is thrilled to showcase the Aceman, supported by test drives, competitive pricing, and unique promotions. With its balanced blend of power, handling, and eco-friendly performance, the Aceman is set to be an iconic choice for MINI enthusiasts in Johor.”

Interior and Performance Features of the MINI Aceman

Inside, the Aceman prioritizes both comfort and sustainability, aligning with MINI’s eco-forward approach. A vibrant 240mm round OLED display, driven by the MINI Operating System 9, serves as the central command for navigation, media, and vehicle controls.

The Aceman also introduces MINI Experience Modes, allowing drivers to personalize their environment with custom lighting, soundscapes, and graphic projections on the dashboard.

The interior’s use of sustainable materials, such as recycled knit fabrics in place of traditional chrome and leather, further underscores MINI’s commitment to an eco-conscious driving experience.

Under the hood, the MINI Aceman houses a powerful 218 hp electric motor, delivering 330 Nm of torque and an impressive 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 7.1 seconds.

Its 54.2 kWh high-voltage battery offers a solid driving range of up to 405 km, making it a practical choice for both daily routines and weekend road trips.

Charging is convenient with support for DC fast charging at up to 95 kW, allowing a 10% to 80% charge in just 30 minutes, and AC charging at 11 kW for easy overnight top-ups.

Safety and Technology Highlights

MINI ensures that safety is a top priority in the Aceman, equipping it with features such as Lane Change Warning, Speed Limit Information, Front Collision Warning with brake intervention, and Parking Assistant Plus.

Additionally, the MINI Digital Key Plus transforms a smartphone into a digital key, adding a layer of convenience and security for owners.
