The Spanish cousin of the Volkswagen up! and Skoda CitiGo joined the small-sized vehicles offered by Volkswagen Group in 2011.
There was a high demand for very small city vehicles with three and five doors, for those who needed a car mostly to take the kids to schools and continue their way to their work. Basically, most of the car was the same as the other two from the group. It had a different hood, headlights, and slightly different rear tailgate and taillights. But all three of them were produced in the same Slovakian factory from Bratislava.
SEAT kept the same headlights' shape from the rest of the range, with an angular inbound side and rounded top exterior. Its trapezoidal grille with a honeycomb pattern tried to make the buyers believe that it was a sportier vehicle. Well, it wasn't. In the rear, the three triangular looks of its taillights were different than those installed on the CitiGo and up!.
Inside, the Mii featured exposed metallic parts on the interior door panels. Its dashboard was clean, designed in a minimalist design concept. The instrument cluster was fitted with three dials: a large speedometer, a fuel level, and the coolant temperature. Its tachometer was removed due to a lack of space. In the rear, the access was easy thanks to the wide opening of the doors. The rear windows were on hinges on the front side and could have been popping out. There was enough room for two adults and enough trunk space to carry a few pizza boxes.
It came with a small, 1.0-liter engine in three power options, including a factory-made NG version designed for fleets under the hood. It was available with a manual or automatic gearbox.
