MINI Aceman vs Suzuki eVitara
Verdict
The MINI Aceman costs RM213,888, RM25,888 more than the RM188,000 Suzuki eVitara, and it spends that on pace: 215 hp and 0-100 km/h in 7.1 seconds beat 172 hp and 8.7 seconds. The Suzuki answers with the more useful EV numbers for Malaysia — 61.1 kWh battery, 426 km range, five-year warranty and RM120 road tax. It is also larger, though boot space is nearly level. If fun-size pace matters, the MINI fits. If ownership calm matters, the Suzuki is the cleaner read.
Pick the MINI Aceman if you want the quicker front-driven electric SUV, with 215 hp, a 7.1-second 0-100 km/h time and a 170 km/h top speed.
Pick the Suzuki eVitara if you want more range, a bigger battery, longer warranty cover and lower yearly road tax for less money.
