2026 MINI John Cooper Works Aceman e real-life range test with 19-inch wheels and summer tires
MINI is one of the most recognizable automotive brands in pop culture, even among people with little interest in cars. Today, we are testing one of its new additions, the MINI Aceman JCW e, a compact crossover positioned below the Countryman while offering more space and versatility than the traditional MINI Cooper.
The Aceman is MINI’s first model available exclusively with electric powertrains. Ours comes in the range-topping JCW e specification. It is the most powerful version available, although that extra performance comes at the expense of some range compared with the Aceman SE, which utilizes the same battery pack. There is no AWD option either, which helps efficiency but slightly limits versatility.
With a relatively modest 54.2 kWh battery, of which 49.2 kWh is usable, we are not expecting record-breaking range figures. Previous MINI models we have tested, however, have compensated for smaller batteries with excellent efficiency, so the Aceman may still have a few surprises in store.
Our full review of the MINI Aceman JCW e is coming soon. For now, we are focusing entirely on range and efficiency to see how far this compact crossover can really go.
