The Electric Mini Aceman will be launched next week: we already know this


You may have also noticed: there is a gap in the Mini range. Currently you can choose from different versions of Cooper – one in gasoline in one on electricity – but if it’s too small for you, you should immediately upgrade to one Citizen. It is immediately at the other end of the spectrum because since the change of generation it is not less than 4.43 meters in height. Bee the late Clubman You can no longer go there if you’re looking for something between the two, but don’t worry, because reinforcements are on the way.

Cooper-based…

Mini has announced that it will pull the curtains on its new Aceman at Auto China, the Beijing auto show next week. It will be more difficult than the new Citizen because the German British were very kind too revealing that crossover will be shorter 4.08 meters. In doing so, it chooses a good middle ground between its big brother and the new Mini Cooper, which will probably share its technical base.

So you can also rely on its powerful electric motor on the front axle, good for 218 hp. However, there is a small chance that this will be the only motorization that the Aceman will have, because the platform of course also allows the basics of the regular Cooper E. It has a power of 184 hp and a battery pack of 40.7 kWh under the ground.

When Mini showed the concept car to the world, it said that the production model will not see the light of day until 2025.
