MINI Aceman to debut in Malaysia on October 8 – EV crossover positioned between Cooper, Countryman
MINI Malaysia has begun teasing the arrival of the Aceman, an electric crossover that is positioned between the Cooper SE and Countryman SE that are already on sale here.
Based on social media postings, the “ace in the pack” will be revealed here on October 8, 2024, with a public debut set to take place the day after on October 9 at TRX.
The global debut of the Aceman took place in Beijing earlier in April this year, with two variants announced at the time. The first is the Aceman E with a front-mounted electric motor rated at 184 PS (181 hp or 135 kW) and 290 Nm of torque. This is enough to get from 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds on the way to a top speed of 160 km/h.
Next is the Aceman SE with higher outputs of 218 PS (215 hp or 160 kW) and 330 Nm for a 0-100 km/h time of 7.1 seconds and top speed of 170 km/h. This version sports a 54.2-kWh battery for up to 406 km of range following the WLTP standard, while the entry-level option’s 42.5-kWh provides up to 310 km.
Both can handle AC charging at a max capacity of 11 kW, but there’s a difference when it comes to DC charging. The Aceman E can handle a maximum DC input is 75 kW while it is 95 kW for the Aceman SE, with the company claiming a 10-80% state of charge can be achieved in just under 30 minutes.
The Aceman measures 4,076 mm long, 1,754 mm wide, 1,515 mm tall and has wheelbase spanning 2,606 mm. This puts it right in the middle of the MINI Cooper (3,858 mm long, 2,526 mm wheelbase) and Countryman (4,433 mm long, 2,692 mm wheelbase).
If you find the Countryman to be a little too big and the Cooper to be too small, maybe the Aceman is the perfect fit for you. We’ll bring you more details when MINI Malaysia reveals the Aceman tomorrow.
