MINI Aceman EV Crossover Details
MINI Aceman EV has definitely become eye candy for worldwide auto enthusiasts. The new car from the brand is based on a new styling that is retro-modern. The simplistic design language is called ‘Charismatic Simplicity’ and MINI has plans to introduce this into all of its upcoming cars in the future.
“The design language of the MINI Concept Aceman heralds the beginning of a new design era for MINI,” explains Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Group Design. In our opinion, Design themes typical of the MINI brand have always been unique. Hooydonk goes on to say. “We are returning to these now, but at the same time consistently combining them innovative technology. With this approach we are redeveloping the MINI design icons, with all their analogue strengths, for the digital future”.
The attractive design is inspired by the 1959 original MINI Cooper hatchback. The main highlights of its design contained minimalism, sustainability, and the use of the latest technology altogether.

On the exterior, the new LED headlights look cool and simple. The use of butch body lines helps achieve an SUV or crossover stance. On the side, the use of futuristic alloy wheels with diamond-cut and looks fantastic. The rear end is equipped with the iconic British flag-inspired LED taillights.
Use of Recycled Material
Inside the cabin, the Aceman delivers its inspiration from the old-gen MINIs from the 60s. The dashboard is minimal and simplistically designed as well. There is a single circular OLED touchscreen that acts as most of the HVAC control unit as well as the infotainment unit. The steering wheel is two-spoke.
MINI claims that it has used recycled material to make the interior bits. The dashboard, for example, uses recycled sustainable material for its construction. This hints that the Aceman EV is completely inclined towards providing green mobility.
MINI has not declared any details about the electric powertrain of the Aceman till now. We suspect that all of the details will be out on the official public debut on August 23 in Germany. Will it make to India? Yes, given how luxury brands are now entering the e-space in the country.
