Before It Was Launched, Mini Aceman Was Tested For Its Resilience Through Extreme Fields

JAKARTA - Following the vision of the parent company, namely the BMW Group, Mini is preparing its newest environmentally friendly electric car, Aceman. In fact, this new all-new model has completed its test resistance to traverse various extreme terrains.

Previously, the crossover-style car had been tested in the Arctic Circle region and successfully struggled with the cold North Pole temperature. Furthermore, the model also succeeded in testing the desert area for the final phase of the test.

In addition to classic features such as driving dynamics and comfort, the testing team also focuses on the aspect of demand for electric vehicles. For this purpose, air conditioning, battery charging and cooling, driving and control devices are tested intensively at temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius in dusty desert sand.

Mini Aceman has a length of 4,075 mm, a width of 1,754 mm, and a height of 1,495 mm, offering a compact design without reducing relief in the cabin room. The manufacturer says that Aceman will be positioned in the middle of Cooper and Countryman.

Stefanie Wurst, as Head of Mini Brand, said the model was presented to open up opportunities for customers who want a smaller crossover than Countryman.

"Consistent electrification of our product portfolio provides a clear statement about the future of the MINI brand," said Wurst, quoted from the company's website, Wednesday, January 31.

Mini Aceman is the latest model to be fully powered by electricity. This model will carry a 54.2 kWh capacity battery. Thanks to the concept of pure electric driving, the crossover only takes a little space on the road and offers a high level of comfort and usability.

The design of this new model is in line with the basic principles of the brand, namely creating many interior spaces with the smallest external dimensions that may be accompanied by agile driving characteristics and efficiency.
