This one actually doesn't look bad. I would also say that this is more of a Countryman than the new Countryman.

Hi Stefan, welcome in Greece 😊!

What a cool screen. And even cooler car. According to consumer reports these are actually reliable? Also, the website indicates there is an option to remove the sunroof which is awesome. One more car to add to the pile of "considerations." Very nice.

It’s cute! I hope it sells well. Looks small and therefore efficient.

Appreciate the detailed review as always! As someone who is a bit unhappy where the countryman has gone in direction, the Aceman seems to be more keeping in spirit and for some reason the interior feels more cohesive / fitting. Look forward to your driving impressions! I do wish there was some form of AWD model (maybe JCW one day) but i doubt that will happen...

The charging station is excellently placed and the design is great as well. The house is located by the sea and is probably less visited in winter when there is a lot of rain and strong winds. I believe that the charger is shielded from external influences during the winter.

Is perfect especially if you don't have money for the countryman then this can be your sweet spot

I think Mini should introduce a car that sits below the Cooper & call the "Micro" or "Minor" & have it as a competitor to the Fiat 500 & other A segment vehicles. It could be the same size or slitely smaller than the first gen Mini hatch/one

It looks like the spiritual successor of the R60 Countryman.

I didn´t like that they ditched the black wheel arches on the electric Cooper / Cooper S, that was a really distinctive feature over all generations. IMHO the cars looked lighter and more dynamic with less visual weight through body-colored parts. With the Aceman I´m not so sure about the front end, but I do like the rear and the side profile. Looks sleaker and more agile than a Countryman, but more mature and substantial than a Cooper.

I just want to remind myself of the thing Richard Hammond said about the original Mini Paceman

hi thomas…thought u are gonna use the joystick at the door to “shave” your beard again 😂

Love your work, you are one of the first I see uploaded with new models and you have a great no BS factual based style. I really like the look of this car inside and out, and the size would be perfect for my needs. Shame that range and charging are not great. I mean a Kona 64 kWh cost almost the same and has more range, a frunk for the cables and a folding rear armrest. Of course this is more premium, and it has golden dildos in the doors! 😂❤

After I’ve seen all the videos about the new models I ordered a mini cooper SE of the previous gen 😂 I HATE the fabric insider and I hate the new backlights and shape. The only thing I would change in the old version would be a larger battery and maybe the new display

Hey, engineers: Charging port caps should open with the door! Even ICE cars have evolved.

I'd have major concerns about longevity with that OLED infotainment screen. I could very easily see different elements producing burn-in (predominantly the speedo), and I'm guessing Mini would only cover the replacement if it happens under the bumper-to-bumper warranty.

The perception is that it cannot compete with the group of Zeekr X, Smart #1 and Volvo EX30 that should be in the same price tag...!

The nineties called: they want the DC charging times back…😮

09:50: Thomas, it's to protect against accidental touches activating the heating controls. It isn't hard to understand.

I find the interior quality compared with the previous generation ( same with the Mini ) a bit disappointing. Everything is hard pack materials just covered with some fabric. This is very cheap to produce and gives you Dacia vibes a bit. All the soft touch materials of the previous generation of the Mini and derivatives are gone now.

@JK-kj2hu

Personally as a owner of a previous mini jcw I think the built quality increased. Last weekend I was in a mini store and set in the new one and many places were my old mini just had hard plastic oder some soft touch the new one had this fabric and in real life it felt and looked pretty good. At first I was also a little shocked about the new mini but now as I set in the new one it startes to work for me.

Not a huge fan of that face, but rear legroom is impressive for a car under 4.1m

Do we know if Mini is also going to eliminate their combustion range in the near future? It would be a shame as they would lose the markets where electrification is not really a logical choice yet (poor charging infrastructure, long distances, high energy prices etc.).

Not completely. The 4th generation Mini Cooper was unveiled at the beginning of 2024 and is a heavily revised version of the 3rd generation hatch and still offers conventional combustion engines. Although it uses the 'old' platform, it looks a lot like the new all electric mini hatch.

@@minimoto99 Ah, so they pulled a Mercedes in that like the current "EQ..." range the Cooper is based on the internal combustion architecture and will still have those engines while the Aceman and Countryman have fully electric architectures with no plans (or engineering) for internal combustion.

I have a 3 weeks old Countryman EV - the S E Sport L3 - I wonder why both the Cooper and the Aceman have those awful plugs to cover the charge ports yet the Countryman gets rather nice hinged flaps to cover the connections inside the charge port flap? SurelyBMW Mini aren’t cost cutting on the 2 smaller cars? This is more a replacement for the Clubman I think

This is by no means a crossover/suv no matter what they try to advertise it as. It's dimensions literally show that it's just a hatchback. Remove the cladding & it's incredibly clear

Much prefer the rear lights on this one

So... It looks about the same size as the first gen R60 Countryman... The new Countryman has gotten fatter and instead of renaming that under a name name plate signifying it's size I guess they did this instead.

Hate the notch at the bottom of the central screen in these new minis 😢 Although much better than before, it looks like those Gen1 circular smartwatches

Live rural so the small battery range kills it for me, I require 500km range. So a miss for me. Although I like the Aceman

Why couldn’t the front camera be located 1 inch up and hidden in the black part

I like it but it’s so far removed from the original mini concept which seems a shame. Fab review as always.

I like everything about the new Mini range that came out recently, but I just hate that single armrest for the driver seat it feels like a very cheap aeroplane/bus armrest

after this crime against iconic design has been officially comited, I am not sure if I am interested in Cooper or any other Mini product..

Mini did a premium 2017 Citroen C3 Aircross, nice:)

We Americans call it chili red named after Nex Mexico pepper

Instead of building in that pop-up fake head-up display, why didn't they just add a small fix display, maybe like a small version of the one in the ID.4?

Nice🇸🇦

Thomas, you would've let the girl grab that door handle instead

Is it Citroen? Felt like that..😏

Should have made that popup hud much wider and therefore a feature. Could have then even remained a fixed, open transparent panel. Shame.

Slowly murdering the Mini 😢

Great review once again. Imagine charging 35k euros for Dacia plastic for technically two seat micro hatch. Really hope people are not THAT dumb to buy this.

So the front passenger don't get a centre arm rest

I was expecting good things from the Aceman but I'm not too sure looking at it now. I've had lots of the R series MINIs but never fell in love with the F series. For me, I hate the plastic cladding, which always fades, and welcomed the cleaner look of the new electric J series. What a pity MINI decided to keep so much plastic on the Aceman so it's more 'rugged' looking - not that it will ever go offroad. With all that being said, the interior looks great. Whilst the driving experience was awful, I still prefer the look of the Paceman.

Looks like a Citroen. Great.

As an owner of 3 countryman, I feel leaving the brand after seeing the new Mini

Shame they got rid of the clubman, we won’t be buying this as the replacement!

Guess this is why the Clubman got dropped 😔 Can’t fault the build quality though

That Mini plate for the infotainment screen looks toy-like

if this had a 300 mile range I strongly believe it would be the most popular mini in the US. As is, they will be nearly impossible to sell here.

So, given that real world range is usually around the 3 miles per kwh...the range on these will be pretty dismal

Sometimes Thomas is so naive that he buys Mini(ie BMW)'s arguments of why the proper headup display is difficult with the windscreen rake. Can they just play with the projector mounting angles in dashboard to compensate for the windscreen angle? Come on, Mini guys are bullshitting.

It was almost impossible to ruin the mini, but they did it

Or you can buy a second-hand i3 with similar battery capacity, performance, size, quirky styling for half the price. Not to mention the i3 is rear wheel drive and has a frunk 😂
