We’ve been charmed by the Mii. It’s an honest, well-made and surprisingly fun package that covers all the basics and delivers a longer range than you'd expect. Factor in the £23k price tag and it’s going to make financial sense for a lots of drivers who might have thought they couldn't go electric.

Ginny Says

“The baby SEAT is a fantastic small EV that does everything well. The range is brilliant for an urban car, the cabin is unfussy and it’s fun to drive. Factor in that sub-£20k price tag and the financial sums will add up for thousands of people.”

Nicki Says

“Whether you opt for a VW, SEAT or ŠKODA badge, this small Volkswagen Group EV is a great introduction to the world of electric motoring. The price makes a lot of supermini EVs look needlessly expensive and I love the back-to-basics feel of the interior.”

Has the SEAT Mii Electric gone out of production?

There are a lot of rumours about this, but SEAT has assured us it hasn't. There are certainly cars available - we called and asked dealers if they could find us one and found several offered for immediate delivery.

What's the real range of the SEAT Mii Electric? 

Officially it's 160 miles - and that's been pretty realistic in our experience. We once saw 209 miles indicated after a traffic-laden journey around the M25. Electric cars are more efficient in traffic and at lower speeds.

Can you rapid charge a SEAT Mii Electric?

Yes - CCS rapid charging is standard but it can charge at a maximum rate of 40kW. It will  go from 20-80% in an about an hour.

Is the SEAT Mii Electric cheap to insure?

It’s in group 11, which is a little higher than the petrol powered versions, mainly because it is faster and more expensive. It still won't be too expensive though unless you are a new or young driver. 

Is the SEAT Mii Electric a safe car?

The basic body shell of the Mii is comparatively old, but it still got reasonable scores for protection in independent tests. Where it falls down is on a lack of safety prevention tech, although  Lane Assist, which uses a camera to warn if you are straying across white lines, is standard.
