MINI ACEMAN SE - THE PERFECT CAR FOR GOLDILOCKS

EV Channels Review

The MINI Aceman SE is presented as the 'Goldilocks' option in MINI's electric lineup, fitting perfectly between the smaller Cooper and larger Countryman. The reviewer praises its driving dynamics, stating it feels like a 'proper MINI' with responsive steering and excellent handling, even on wet roads. The interior is a highlight, with a unique circular OLED display, high-quality sustainable materials, and an intuitive user experience, though some minor plastic elements could be improved. Practicality is adequate, with a usable boot space and rear seating, but it's not class-leading. The reviewer is disappointed with the average battery range (up to 252 miles WLTP for the SE) and charging speed (95 kW DC). Despite these drawbacks and a premium price point, the Aceman SE is lauded for its engaging driving experience and distinctive MINI character, making it a compelling, albeit expensive, choice for those prioritizing driving fun over ultimate practicality or range.
