THE MINI CONCEPT ACEMAN.

*The MINI Concept Aceman is a concept car only, meaning it is not in production and not for sale. Therefore, it cannot be driven on public roads and is not compliant to road regulations. Filming took place on a closed road/studio with no access to traffic.

THE EMOTION OF (E-)MOTION.

The MINI Concept Aceman represents a new era of more sustainable, connected cars and combines tech advances, charismatic simplicity and driving excitement.

Our first all-electric MINI Crossover SAV blends in hallmark MINI agility and innovative design thinking, while delivering an assured driving position. It showcases what makes a MINI: exciting proportions, distinctive lines and clever functionality. Agile and powerful, yet with a sense of timeless sophistication, the MINI Concept Aceman is the start of a new adventure.

At first glance, the wheels seem familiar enough. Look again and you notice the “embossed” triangle around the centre that creates a whole new depth and dynamism.

INTERIOR STYLE – A NEW MINIMALISM.

The interior of the MINI Concept Aceman combines classic and sporty MINI design elements with elegant handcrafted touches throughout. The spacious open areas around the doors and the soft surfaces bring warmth and a sense of wellbeing, and the panoramic roof lets the light flood in.

ICONIC DASHBOARD.
The dashboard, reminiscent of a surfboard, floats horizontally in one long beautiful curve. The entire length serves as a stage for animated projections which, in combination with especially created sound collages, lets you explore the effects of a completely new interior experience. The unique iridescent PVD coating conjures up a brilliant colour spectrum in shimmering metallic.

SPACIOUS INTERIOR DESIGN.
The transparent floating central console, which is open at the top and extends into the rear, lets you add a wireless charging area, cupholders or other components depending on your mood. The free-floating design combined with the panoramic roof makes the car feel open and airy.

TOGGLES – FUTURE REVISITED.
Directly below the dashboard sits the newly interpreted toggle bar. It's the only analog control element in the MINI Concept Aceman and integrates the parking brake, gear selection, start/stop function, selection of the experience modes and volume control.

THE POWER OF CREATIVE SEATING.
The front and rear seats are visually and ergonomically beautiful. Made of combinations of flat knit, velvet velour and waffle fabric in sublte colour combinations, they blend perfectly into the interior with the headrest and surfaces flowing gently into each other.

INNOVATIVE DOOR DESIGN.
The doors also follow the minimalist design approach and form strong yet inviting structures made with soft surfaces. The upholstered free-standing door handle and speaker provide an exciting contrast to the rest of the interior and enhance the user experience further.

DESIGNED TO TURN HEADS.

The compelling light turquoise hue adds to the sense of excitement. Depending on the way the light falls, the colour appears brighter or darker, which lends a subtle three-dimensionality to the surfaces and edges. The roof rack is in British Racing Green and thanks to the chameleon effect of the PVD coating, it shimmers in different shades of blue, purple, green, turquoise and pink.
