Willy Tee Ten, President of the Autohub Group of Companies, expressed his excitement about this latest offering: “The all-electric MINI Aceman represents the future of urban mobility, combining the adventurous MINI spirit with the latest advancements in technology and design. We’re confident it will inspire a new generation of drivers in the Philippines to embrace sustainable, fashionable, and thrilling city driving.”

Striking Crossover Design with Compact Proportions

With its dynamic front end, sleek silhouette, and compact dimensions, the MINI Aceman combines sporty design with a confident road presence. Measuring 4.07 meters in length, 1.75 meters in width, and 1.50 meters in height, the Aceman is positioned between the MINI Cooper and the larger MINI Countryman. The clean, modern lines are accentuated by 19-inch wheels, roof rails, and robust underride protection, giving the vehicle an athletic and adventurous look suitable for urban exploration.

MINI’s signature “Clever Use of Space” is evident in the Aceman’s functional two-box design, which maximizes interior room while maintaining a small footprint ideal for navigating busy city streets. The electric drive also enables new design possibilities, resulting in a vehicle that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.

LED Headlights and Redesigned Front Grille

The front design of the MINI Aceman is characterized by angular LED headlights and a redesigned octagonal grille, providing a bold and futuristic appearance. The grille’s surround extends into the underride protection, while the LED headlights offer customizable daytime running light modes that enhance visibility and the car’s character. The Vibrant Silver finish on the grille adds to the car’s distinctive look, ensuring that it stands out as a member of the new MINI family.

Sleek Bodywork with Enhanced Aerodynamics

The Aceman’s bodywork features a smooth transition between the vehicle’s surfaces and glass, optimizing aerodynamics. The flat integrated door handles and modern contours give the car a progressive and streamlined appearance. MINI has also included traditional design cues, such as diagonal contours inspired by classic Mini models, blending nostalgia with cutting-edge design. At the rear, wide horizontal surfaces and distinctive upright LED taillights add to the car’s robust and agile stance.

Minimalist and Innovative Interior Design

Inside, the MINI Aceman continues the brand’s “Charismatic Simplicity” design ethos. The minimalist dashboard, central OLED display, and intuitive toggle switches echo the layout of the classic Mini, but with a modern twist. Recycled materials, such as polyester used in the dashboard trim and door panels, reinforce the vehicle’s sustainability commitment while providing a high-quality feel. The Aceman also offers ample interior space, with a 60:40 split-folding rear seat that expands the luggage capacity from 300 liters to 1,005 liters.
