Used Seat Mii Electric: A Budget-Friendly EV Opportunity

Are you in the market for an affordable electric vehicle? The second-hand Seat Mii Electric is emerging as a strong contender, offering a practical, compact, and budget-conscious entry point into the world of EVs. These cars are now available at attractive price points.

Volkswagen’s Compact EV Venture

In 2019, the Volkswagen Group launched a series of small, economical electric vehicles. These included the Seat Mii Electric, along with the Skoda Citigo and Volkswagen e-Up. They were essentially adaptations of existing combustion engine models.

These EVs initially gained popularity due to their simplicity, conventional design, and low maintenance costs, with prices subsidized by incentives. However, the Volkswagen Group‘s profit margins were very low, leading to the discontinuation of production just two years later, in 2021. Now, used models are available.

The Seat Mii Electric: Details and Features

Let’s examine the Seat Mii Electric. It is a small, four-seater urban car with compact dimensions: 3.55 meters long, 1.64 meters wide, and 1.48 meters high. It has a wheelbase of 2.42 meters, and the trunk offers 251 liters of space.

The Mii Electric was available in a single version with two trim levels. Its electric motor produces 61 kW (83 hp) with 212 Nm of torque, which is adequate for its 1,235 kg weight. While it took 12.3 seconds to go from zero to 100 km/h, it accelerated from zero to 50 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. The top speed was limited to 130 km/h.

The interior design is simple, featuring analog controls and a mobile phone holder. It has a 36.8 kWh gross battery (32.3 kWh useful) that provides an approved average range of 259 kilometers under the WLTP cycle. Fast charging allows a 0 to 80% charge in one hour using direct current. Alternating current charging takes about four hours.

Pricing and Availability

The Seat Mii Electric is now an economical option on the used market, with attractive prices. One example is a model at the Yamovil dealer in Madrid, registered in 2020 with 54,235 kilometers, priced at 9,850 euros. Similarly, Das Weltauto has a 2020 model with 80,325 kilometers for 10,990 euros.

For those seeking a straightforward, easy-to-maintain electric car with sufficient range for daily needs, the second-hand Seat Mii Electric is a good choice. According to a recent report, the used EV market has surged, with a 30% increase in sales compared to the previous year (Source 2024).
