NEW SEAT MII ELECTRIC FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Seat Mii electric represents Seat's first foray into the fully electric market, built upon the familiar Volkswagen Up! platform. The reviewer highlights that while the design and interior remain largely unchanged to maintain affordability, the electric powertrain transforms the driving experience. Key strengths include its nippy performance in urban environments, excellent all-around visibility, and a surprisingly comfortable ride despite the added battery weight, thanks to revised suspension. The reviewer praises the car's practicality, with a decent 251-liter boot expandable to 923 liters, and a usable, if basic, interior focused on function over flash. The infotainment relies on smartphone integration, which, while dated, is seen as a pragmatic choice for cost-saving and future-proofing. The claimed WLTP range of 260 km (162 miles) is considered sufficient for its intended city-car purpose, with real-world efficiency observed to be close to the stated figures. The reviewer strongly recommends the Mii electric, particularly the 'Plus' trim, for its value proposition, fun driving dynamics, and the overall positive experience of driving electric, especially given its sub-€18,000 Spanish market price.
