CarTell take

We haven't driven the Aceman yet. On paper, the SE is the grade to buy. The 406 km WLTP range and 95 kW DC are meaningfully more usable than the E grade. FWD-only and 95 kW DC are the trade-offs for the Mini-flavoured cabin.

Why consider it

  • Mini styling in a 4.08 m EV that still fits genuine families.
  • The 240 mm circular OLED touchscreen is the most distinctive cabin in the class.
  • 406 km WLTP on the SE puts it ahead of several mid-priced EVs.

What to know

  • FWD only, no dual-motor or AWD option in Australia.
  • DC charging peaks at 95 kW on the SE, well behind segment leaders.
  • No ANCAP rating at launch.

Who it suits

Brand-led buyers wanting Mini design with an EV powertrain, urban EV families needing five doors and 406 km of range in a car that still parks like a Mini, tech-curious buyers drawn to the OLED display and Spike avatar, and style downsizers stepping out of a Countryman.

Top rivals

Look at the alternatives if you want faster DC charging (Volvo EX30, Smart #1 and Zeekr X all charge faster), all-wheel drive or dual motor (Aceman is FWD only in Australia), or a roomier boot (300 L is small for a crossover badge).
