Verdict
At RM213,888, the MINI Aceman costs RM25,888 more than the Suzuki eVitara, but its 215 hp and 330 Nm motor cuts the 0-100 km/h time to 7.1 seconds, against 8.7 seconds. Its 11 kW AC and 95 kW DC charging ratings are also higher. The eVitara makes the stronger cost-and-distance case with a 61.1 kWh battery, 426 km range and RM120 annual road tax, versus 54.2 kWh, 406 km and RM200. It is also roomier on paper, with a 2,700 mm wheelbase and 306-litre boot.
Pick the MINI Aceman if quicker 7.1-second acceleration, 95 kW DC charging and powered front seats with driver memory and massage matter more than the extra outlay.
Pick the Suzuki eVitara if you want the lower purchase price, 426 km range, longer 2,700 mm wheelbase and a five-year manufacturer warranty.
