The Spanish brand Seat introduced the second iteration of the Mii nameplate in 2019 exclusively as an electric model but with just minor aesthetic changes.
The trio of Volkswagen up!, Skoda Citigo, and Seat Mii was built to attract young customers who needed a vehicle for cities, and it did that in 2012. But over time, customers started looking for EVs more than those that used internal combustion engines. So, the German automaker decided to revive all three models and re-launch them in 2019 but this time only with electron-powered motors. As a result, the Mii continued its journey without too many changes to its look.
It took a keen eye for detail to notice the upgrades made on the smallest SEAT on the market. These were noticed on the front bumper, which got redesigned and sported new, larger fog lamps. They flanked a broader lower grille, even though the car didn't need that much cooling area since it was electric. The automaker added a sticker on the sides that said "Mii electric." Still, the standard package was rich, with standard 16" light-alloy wheels. As a no-cost option, the Spanish brand offered a contrasting roof color.
The Mii kept the same spacious cabin as the 2012 model, with slim bucket seats at the front and a bench seat suitable for two adult passengers in the back. On the dashboard, the carmaker didn't have the option to install a fancy infotainment system. Still, it offered a phone cradle where customers could fix their smartphone and use it for navigation, music, or phone calls via Bluetooth connectivity.
But the most significant upgrade was under the car's skin, where SEAT installed a 36.8 kWh battery instead of the 18.6 kWh one that was previously used.
