2025 MINI ACEMAN REVIEW: AUSTRALIAN FIRST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Mini Aceman SE is presented as a stylish and practical electric crossover, specifically targeting urban dwellers. The reviewer highlights its comfortable, eco-friendly interior with recycled materials and a functional, albeit circular, infotainment screen. While the second-row space is noted as tight for taller occupants, the boot capacity is deemed acceptable for its segment. Performance is described as punchy and effortless, with good handling and ride quality that masks its weight. The Aceman successfully captures the iconic Mini DNA, offering a distinct alternative in the EV market. However, real-world range efficiency is yet to be fully assessed, with a focus on the WLTP claim of 400km. The SE trim, with its 54.2 kWh battery (49.2 kWh usable), offers DC fast charging up to 95kW and a claimed 0-80% charge in 31 minutes.
