Mini Cooper SE and Mini Aceman are closely related EVs built on the same platform but aimed at different use cases. The Cooper SE is a compact hatchback focused on city driving and driving feel. The Aceman sits above it as a small crossover, offering more cabin space and practicality for users who need extra room without moving to a full SUV.
Range is similar on paper but differs in real use. The Cooper SE delivers about 370–400 km WLTP, while the Aceman reaches about 400–406 km WLTP, giving it a slight edge. Charging is nearly identical. Both support up to 95 kW DC fast charging and around 11 kW AC, with 10–80 percent charging taking close to 30 minutes, so neither stands out for long-distance charging speed.

Price positioning places the Aceman above the Cooper SE due to its larger size and added practicality. The Cooper SE remains the entry point into Mini’s EV range, while the Aceman targets buyers who want more space without leaving the brand. Both models are available mainly in Europe and select global EV markets, with gradual expansion expected. This comparison helps you decide between compact driving focus and added practicality within the same brand.
Within Mini, the Cooper SE sits as the core electric hatch, while the Aceman bridges the gap toward the larger Mini Countryman Electric. The lineup also includes internal combustion variants and upcoming performance trims.
The Cooper SE offers agile handling, compact size for tight urban use, and strong efficiency, but it has limited rear space and less practicality for families. The Aceman provides better interior space, improved versatility, and slightly higher range, but it carries a higher price and keeps similar charging limits.
QUICK VERDICT; Pick the Cooper SE for compact driving and city focus. Pick the Aceman for extra space and daily practicality.
