The Autohub-led vehicle distributor’s latest offering further expands the marque’s electrified roster for the Philippine market — joining the likes of the Countryman and Cooper.

At the side, the all-new Mini Aceman comes with the black plastic claddings fitted within the lower portion of the vehicle (wheel arches and doors).

While it has been modernized, the model's rear portion still looks familiar as the model features still has the “Union-Jack” patterned LED tail lights.

Aside from that, the full-electric model is outfitted with:

• Roof-mounted spoiler
• 19-inch wheels
• Power-folding side mirrors
• Roof rails

Interior

For its cabin, the all-new Mini Aceman welcomes occupants with recycled polyester fabric, a minimalist dash, two-spoke leather steering wheel and contrast-stitched Vescin leather seats.

Sitting in the middle of the dash is a 240-mm circular OLED display that serves as the car’s infotainment system, instrument cluster and a built-in driving assistant. Below it is the toggle bar that houses the physical control surfaces for several in-car functions, such as the following:

• Electronic parking brake
• Start/stop
• Audio controls
• Mini experience modes

• Hazard lamps

Other thoughtful amenities include numerous USB ports and a wireless smartphone charging pad.
