MINI Aceman mass-produced car test spy photos
[Original by Dongchedi Product] The MINI brand previously released the new MINI Concept Aceman global concept car in China, which is positioned as a pure electric crossover urban crossover model. Recently, overseas media took spy photos of the MINI Aceman mass-produced car test. The car will be positioned between MINI COOPER and MINI COUNTRYMAN, and is expected to be officially launched in 2024.

continues the overall appearance outline of the concept car
From the spy photos, the mass-produced version of the car will continue the overall body outline of the concept car, including the body proportion of the "four wheels and four corners". The official emphasized that the new car will use the " mini to simplify" design concept to create the "original" MINI in the electric era. In the front part, the new car uses an octagonal contour to decorate the main visual position of the front. The LED headlight group adopts a polygonal outline, adding a novel visual element to the front of the car.
maintains a compact body size
Refer to the concept car data, its body length, width and height are 4.05 meters, 1.99 meters and 1.59 meters respectively, and the size is between MINI COOPER and MINI COUNTRYMAN. Compared with the smart elf #1 that has been launched in China, its body length is 220 mm shorter, maintaining its compact body profile.
The rear contour is round and full
Use the evolutionary and updated "Mizi Flag" tail light
Combined with the concept car, the rear contour is round and full, and is matched with the evolutionary and updated "Mizi Flag" tail light, and the vertical reflective trim strips on both sides of the surround are echoed with the front of the car. At the same time, the new car will also use more lighting effects for human-vehicle interaction.
interior design is very simple (the picture shows a concept car)
interior design also requires reference to the concept car, and its cockpit will only retain a small steering wheel, MINI's signature circular center display and lever switch. This is contrary to the design direction of the increasingly larger and larger new car screens in the domestic market, and to a certain extent reflect the "personality" of the MINI brand. The new car has also made a new design for the use of space under the center console. The use of a combined central slide rail can realize the free arrangement and combination of wireless charging areas, cup holders and other items.
new car background, competitor analysis :
smart Elf#1
This concept car can be regarded as the MINI brand's foresight for "pure electric" crossover models, and mass-produced models are expected to maintain a similar design style. In the Chinese market, all the models on sale of MINI brand are fuel-powered, and with the mass production of MINI Concept Aceman, the brand will also be overly electrified. Judging from the positioning of the MINI brand, the mass-produced version of the MINI Concept Aceman may have a competitive relationship with the smart elf #1 (about 180,000-230,000 yuan) sold in China.
