MINI Aceman boot space, practicality and safety

2024 onwards (change model)
Practicality rating: 2.8 out of 52.8

Written by Jake Groves Updated: 30 October 2024

  • Rear space improved over the Cooper
  • Boot space is smallest in its class
  • Easy to manoeuvre

How much space is there?

The Aceman isn’t too much larger than a regular Cooper hatchback, so there are trade-offs to be had here. That said, the Aceman has five doors and adults can just about sit in the second row without issue. It’s not a roomy space, no, but adults in the outer seats won’t feel too shortchanged on quick journeys. That will be less the case on a longer drive.

Boot space and storage

The Aceman has a 300-litre boot area, partitioned by a movable boot floor. The boot opening itself is reasonably wide, but the area itself is one of, if not the, smallest cargo areas for a small crossover like this. A Vauxhall Mokka’s is 10 litres larger, while other competitors like the Kia EV3 can be had for a similar amount of money but offer vastly more interior space in general.

MINI Aceman review (2024) | Parkers
Rear-seat room is acceptable for two adults, but there are better options.

Is it easy to park?

This is where the Aceman’s relatively compact dimensions are a strength. The Aceman is quite a boxy thing with a wheel almost at each corner, allowing easy parking manoeuvres. All Aceman models feature parking sensors and a rear camera to help aid here, too.

Safety

MINI’s current range of models – the Cooper, the latest Countryman and the Aceman, haven’t actually been officially crash tested by Euro NCAP. The closest thing we can come to an estimate on the Aceman’s crash test rating actually stems from the GWM Ora 03; the small electric car from Chinese car company Great Wall is actually using the same architecture as Mini’s Cooper and Aceman. The Ora 03 gained a full five-star verdict, but whether that will also be the case here remains to be seen.

We’ll update this page as soon as the full crash test data is available.
