The Mini Aceman, not to be confused with the Mini Paceman, is much more than a notion. The little crossover, which made its premiere on Tuesday, not only teases a new model for the Mini range but also displays the brand’s future design orientation.
The current Mini range is quite crowded, with the 4-Door Hardtop, Clubman, and Countryman all sharing the same basic design factor. However, Mini seems to have the opportunity for growth in this segment, as the Aceman teases a crossover that will sit between the Hardtop and Countryman. The Aceman is about 10 inches less in length than the bigger Countryman SUV, but the width and height are approximately comparable. With features such as a roof rack, thick valances, and 20-inch wheels, the Aceman seems to be the most butch Mini yet.
