Verdict
The RM200,510 Mazda CX-60 is the more useful long-distance family SUV: its 570-litre boot is 270 litres larger, its 2,870 mm wheelbase is 264 mm longer and it has rear air vents. The RM213,888 MINI Aceman costs RM13,378 more, but its 215 hp/330 Nm motor cuts the 0-100 km/h time to 7.1 seconds against 9.6 seconds and brings a quoted 406 km EV range. Its RM200 annual road tax also undercuts the Mazda’s RM830. Choose space and a longer warranty with the Mazda; choose EV running and compact dimensions with the MINI.
Pick the Mazda CX-60 if you need the 570-litre boot, larger cabin footprint and five-year/100,000 km warranty.
Pick the MINI Aceman if you want a 215 hp EV with 406 km quoted range, 7.1-second acceleration and RM200 annual road tax.
