The Aceman (not a direct successor to the Paceman) will slot between the 3-door MINI Cooper and the MINI Countryman in the lineup. It will be the second car produced by Spotlight Automotive, a joint venture between BMW and Great Wall Motor (GWM) after the all-electric J01 Cooper.

Two variants of the Aceman were revealed by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) – the Aceman and Aceman S.
Overall, the Aceman S is the more decked-out variant with flashier LED headlights, bronze trim accents, and an S badge on the front and rear. Speaking of the rear, the taillights design carried over the split Union Jack look that is also seen on the all-new Cooper Electric.
