Mini: Concept Aceman without leather and chrome 🎥
FUTURE With the Mini Concept Aceman, the British automaker presents for the first time the design language and technology innovations that will shape the future model generation of the BMW subsidiary brand.
The study of the first crossover model for the premium segment of small cars thus combines central features of the future: purely electric drive, a clear and reduced design language, and a material concept without leather and chrome.
Electrified feeling of a go-kart
Stefanie Wurst, Head of Mini: "This concept car reflects how Mini is reinventing itself towards an all-electric future and what the brand stands for: an electrified go-kart feel, a deepened digital experience and a strong focus on a minimal environmental footprint."
Interior with space for five occupants
The Aceman is equipped with four doors and a large tailgate. There are five seats available in its interior. With an exterior length of 4.05 meters, a width of 1.99 meters and a height of 1.59 meters, the study displays proportions typical of the brand.
Wide body surrounds, contoured wheel arches, 20-inch wheels, a distinctive roof rack and front and rear skirt panels in the style of an underride guard emphasize the solid all-round characteristics of a crossover model for urban environments.
The all-electric vehicle concept enables models that take up little space on the road and at the same time have more room inside than conventional vehicles of this size.
Design element in the style of a soundbar
The interior of the Aceman is also dominated by a reduced design with clear forms and carefully executed details. The dashboard is a flat design element in the style of a sound bar that extends across the entire width of the interior and sets the stage for the central instrument, which for the first time is a completely round OLED display.
Below this is the classic toggle switch bar. The study thus combines digital technology with traditional design features of the brand.
In addition, the interior is characterized by minimalist door panels, a flexible center console that extends into the rear, and color contrasts. The seats of the Mini Concept Aceman feature discreet geometry with integrated headrests.
The dawn of a new era for the Mini
Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Group Design: "The design language of the Mini Concept Aceman represents the dawn of a new era of Mini design. The typical design features of the Mini brand have always been unmistakable. We are now returning to these, but at the same time consistently combining them with innovative technology."
