Yes, it’s already that time of year when car manufacturers try to trick you into buying their holiday gifts. MINI has got a head start by stuffing the Aceman with gift ideas that would look great under the Christmas tree. Although it is one of the smallest vehicles in the BMW Group portfolio, it still offers space for a variety of festive gifts.
MINI presents the more powerful Aceman SE in Indigo Sunset Blue and Rebel Red. Both are equipped with what are probably the company’s coolest wheels currently available: the 18-inch JCW Rallye Spoke alloy wheels. We’d bet they’re a must if you’re looking for an Aceman.
But the new pictures aren’t necessarily about the cars. MINI wants to delight you with a range of items from its lifestyle collection. The 300 liter load space is spacious enough for a couple of MINI trolleys, available in Rebel Red, Blazing Blue and Black. If you fold down the rear seat, you have 1,005 liters of storage space for even more equipment.
The rear seats are large enough to accommodate an aluminum balance bike for your child. Alternatively, the fluffy mascot Bulldog 2.0 from MINI is a fun travel companion. If you prefer to buy something really useful, the travel mugs come in different sizes and colors.
The MINI Lifestyle Collection is not just limited to items with Christmas motifs. From t-shirts to umbrellas, there’s pretty much everything you can imagine. Die-hard fans can even get their hands on JCW-branded hoodies and backpacks. For your little ones there is a MINI Baby Racer toy car with length-adjustable handlebars and child-safe steering wheel.
As for us, we’d rather have the Aceman, a model that’s unfortunately not available in North America. Since MINI has changed its mind and will no longer build the subcompact crossover in Oxford, the chances of seeing the “J05” in the US are slim. The company hasn’t completely closed the door yet, but it’s best to arm yourself with a lot of patience.
