KIA EV3 vs. MINI Aceman - Range or Design Exercise? Why Not Both? (ENG) - Comparison and Review
Which electric car is better: KIA EV3 or MINI Aceman? This is a comparison of two affordable EVs.
KIA EV3 is a compact electric hatchback, which - in its product presentation - KIA calls an SUV. And MINI Aceman is pretty much an electric version of the 5-door hatchback, which is now called the Cooper. MINI claims this is a small crossover, whose all-electric drive opens up a whole range of fresh possibilities in terms of vehicle design.
Depending on the configuration, these cars can have a similar price, similar range, and similar performance. Does Kia's technology and design stand up against a premium brand like MINI?
