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.”

 

The Mii isn’t the cheapest new EV on sale in the UK, but it’s easily the best value if your budget is around £23k. At £22,800 for the one and only model, it could be cheaper per month than a satellite TV subscription if you choose the right finance. The running costs will be less than getting a bus too.

Pricing

There's just one model of Mii, which makes your choices limited to one of nine colour combinations. Even metallic paint is a no-cost option which is unusually generous - other makers charge £500 plus for it. SEAT has also thrown all of the equipment at the Mii to keep things simple and it even has a snazzy set of 16-inch wheels as standard.

Running costs

While the petrol-powered Mii was hardly a budget buster, the all-electric version takes driving economy to a whole new level. Even if you don’t have cheap off-peak electricity, a full charge will cost you about £4 - which works out at around 3p per mile in ‘fuel’ costs. If you can take advantage of cheaper-rate electricity, this can drop to under 2p per mile. 

As with all electric cars, if you use public chargers, you’ll be paying a whole lot more, but even when a full charge costs around £8, you’ll still be quids in when compared to petrol. 

Servicing will also be cheaper thanks to its simpler drivetrain and the lack of oil and filters to change. SEAT often offers service packs to sweeten its new car deals, so make sure you get the standard service costs up front before adding a package to your purchase.
