2021 SEAT MII ELECTRIC | A NO-NONSENSE OWNER REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Seat Mii Electric is presented as a no-nonsense, practical, and exceptionally affordable electric vehicle, ideal as a second car or for urban commuting. The reviewer highlights its incredibly compact size, making parking effortless, and surprisingly comfortable front seating for adults. However, rear legroom is limited, making it less suitable for longer journeys with more than two adults. The interior is utilitarian, with a basic infotainment system that the reviewer upgraded, but it offers essential features like Bluetooth and DAB radio. The car's standout feature is its efficiency, achieving impressive real-world consumption figures that maximize its small battery capacity. Running costs are minimal, with very cheap charging and insurance. The reviewer praises the fun, nimble driving experience around town and the effective one-pedal driving via 'B mode'. Boot space is deceptively deep and practical for weekly shopping. Downsides include a firm ride over rough surfaces and a maximum DC charging speed of only 40 kW, which is not ideal for long trips. Despite its limitations, the reviewer expresses a fondness for the car, appreciating its value, low running costs, and sheer usability for its intended purpose.
