Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the Aceman SE at RM213,888. It has the same 54.2 kWh battery as the RM233,888 John Cooper Works and the longer quoted range, 406 km against 355 km. The RM20,000 gap buys more output, with the JCW rated at 254 hp instead of 215 hp. Pick it only if the extra performance matters more than range.

MINI Aceman buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Aceman is the MINI EV for buyers who find the Cooper hatch too small and the Countryman too large. At 4,076 mm long with a 2,606 mm wheelbase, it is compact, and it is BEV-only. It is not a bargain electric SUV: the starting price sits above the smart #5 and Volvo EX30, and far above the Perodua QV-E, Seres 3 and BYD Atto 2.
