Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video about the Mini Aceman:- The Mini Aceman is a small electric SUV and a mashup between the Mini Hatch and Countryman.
- Rivals include the Volvo EX30, Jeep Avenger, Ford Puma Gen-E, and the Stellantis SUVs.
- The starting price is under £32,000, comparable to the Mini Hatch three-door.
- It has four doors and increased interior space compared to the hatchback.
- The exterior styling includes cladding, squared-off headlamps, a grill, chunky wheels, and Mini badging. Cool lighting signatures are present at the rear.
- It is recognizable as a Mini from a distance.
- The interior layout is reminiscent of the modern Mini launched in 2001.
- The interior is premium and features a large central screen that mimics the speedometer from the original Mini. The central screen is responsive, though cold hands reduce responsiveness.
- It features a chunky steering wheel and a head-up display.
- The fabric is lovely and gives it a premium feel.
- Buttons exist for drive modes, on/off, gear selection, and rear misting.
- Has increased interior space, storage, and wireless charging.
- Back seat space is limited in both head and knee room, making it a thumbs down for the back.
- The boot provides 300 liters of space, but it is not huge compared to other brands.
- Under-floor storage for cables; no front trunk (frunk).
- Seats fold 60/40 to open more space.
- There are two powertrain options: Aceman E, and the tested Aceman SE.
- The base car, Aceman E, has a 42.5kWh battery and a 192-mile range.
- Step up to the SE, which gives 252 miles range from a 54.2kWh battery.
- The SE has 215hp and can go 0-62 in just over seven seconds.
- Rapid top-up times are mid-pack, with a 95kW peak charging speed. Ten to 80% charges in 30 minutes.
- The Mini Aceman has that mini magic, is front-wheel drive, turns in sharply, has plenty of grip, is fast, and it’s fun.
- The ride is quite firm, which may be a dealbreaker to potential buyers.
- Overall, the Mini Aceman is a talented small SUV. It may be a perfect urban run-around, although its ride is less comfortable than, for example, the Volvo EX30.
