► Mini Aceman JCW revealed
► More power and spicy bodykit
► Lands April 2025 in the UK, priced from £40,220
Mini’s cutesy Aceman crossover has been given some steroids: meet the new Aceman JCW. The brand has revealed the flagship Aceman model at the 2024 Paris motor show.
Aceman JCW models naturally feature a sporty bodykit with a lot of John Cooper Works branding, with plenty of black trimmings. New, rather retro-looking wheels are bespoke to the JCW model, as are red brake calipers and a red roof.
The new Aceman includes ‘motorsport technology’ from John Cooper Works here and remains electric-only like the conventional model. Here, the Aceman JCW features 254bhp and 252lb ft of torque – both only a smidge more than the Aceman S – and is capable of a 6.4sec 0-62mph time and a top speed of 124mph. It’s worth noting, though, that the max power figure is only available via a boost button on the steering wheel.
Mini claims a maximum range of 243 miles, and a 95kW charging rate means a 10-80 per cent charge done in around 30 minutes.
Inside, not much has changed beyond the regular Aceman. There’s a lot more black and red in here, mind you, and features new upholstery designs for the sporty seats. The brand also points to illuminated headlining being a neat addition, so even Mini’s team are clutching at straws here.
The new Aceman has been revealed at the same time as the electric Cooper JCW. Mini says the new Aceman JCW will be available to order towards the end of October 2024. First UK deliveries are expected in April 2025, with prices starting from £40,220. For reference, the Smart #1 Brabus model is around £2k more, but is far quicker…
