Mini interiors are fun with a combination of textured material with contrasting colours and an unorthodox approach to design. The Mini Aceman boasts the large Mini OLED circular central display and a multitude of physical buttons.

The cabin of the entry-grade SE features 'Vescin Dark Petrol' upholstery while the stitched dash is made of recycled polyester and is knitted in 'Dark Petrol' and 'Orange'.

Stepping up into the JCW adds a black and red colour scheme to the 'Vescin' upholstery and the dash.

Coming standard on the Mini Aceman SE grade is 19-inch alloy wheels, proximity unlocking panoramic, glass roof, black roof rails, JCW bucket-style sport seats, a Harman Kardon sound system, 240mm circular OLED central media display, digital radio, head-up display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, sat nav, ambient lighting, LED headlights and tail-lights.

The JCW grade gains all the SE’s equipment but also adds more JCW sporty elements such as a JCW steering wheel, plus red and black coloured trim details.

The Mini Aceman in SE guise has a single electric motor driving the front wheels and making 160kW and 330Nm.

The JCW version has the same single motor setup but makes more grunt with 190kW/350Nm.

The Mini Aceman is a five seater, although fitting more than two adults in the second row might be a bit tough.

The 0-100km/h time for the Mini Aceman SE is 7.1 seconds and for the JCW it’s even brisker at 6.4 seconds.

The driving range of the Mini Aceman SE is 406km on WLTP but the JCW is up to only 355km.
