You might look at the MINI Aceman and be attracted by its elevated ride height and superior size – at least versus the three-door Cooper – but in reality, this is still a small car. 

Measuring a fraction over four metres long, the benefit of its diminutive size is that it’s perfectly at home in the city, where it can squeeze into tight gaps and parking spots that the larger Countryman cannot. But the trade-off is a compact cabin and small 300-litre boot – we fitted two carry-on suitcases behind the rear seats, but a bulky buggy or child’s bike might be a stretch.

A six-foot-tall adult can just about squeeze into the back, but you can forget about fitting three abreast for anything more than a short hop to the shops. Think of the Aceman as an electric alternative to the five-door MINI Cooper and you’ll not be disappointed, but rivals like the Jeep Avenger or forthcoming Ford Puma Gen-E are bigger, more practical cars.
