Check out the full review of the Seat Mii Electric here: www.electrifyi...
SEAT’s cutesy city runabout has been part of the brand’s line-up since 2012, but has just been reinvented by its maker as the pure-electric Mii. It’s now the only Mii you can buy following SEAT’s bold decision to retire the petrol version that has powered the car since launch. And since ŠKODA has discontinued the Citigo iV electric, the Mii looks even more attractive, if only as a cheaper alternative to the Volkswagen e-Up!
The new Mii is powered by a modest but hardworking 81bhp electric motor and has a WLTP range of between 160 and 223 miles depending on specification.
While the Volkswagen e-Up! is £20,555, if you equip both cars 'like for like' (which is almost impossible thanks to the Volkswagen Group’s clever stage management of its competing brands), there’s actually very little difference in price.
And, if you opt for salary sacrifice, you could save an awful lot of cash.
Watch Ginny Buckley's review of the baby SEAT and for an explanation of salary sacrifice.

Why do reviewers hate the pop out windows? Good ventilation and low noise on the motorway and more secure to leave open in hot weather when parked.

Just lock the screen into landscape before you put it in to the holder so then it can't go back to portrait mode until you unlock it 😁

There should be more videos around the intricacies of leasing, as opposed to buying. With the car world being in a serious transitory period, I was thinking my mum should probably lease her next car(s) for a a few years before the market settles into a more stable groove.

From your unlocked iPhone, swipe down from the top right hand corner to reveal the Control Centre. Press on the red/white button of a padlock with a 3/4 circle around it, so that the button is now black and white. You have now unlocked the screen lock. Swipe up again to remove the Control Centre. When you put the phone landscape, it will now automatically change to landscape orientation.

@nickturner3353 3 года назад

Would you please consider doing an item on how electric cars works for a broader use. Can they be fitted with tow bars, is towing a caravan possible and what would it do to range? Same question about top boxes or bikes on racks etc. I think the broader use of electric cars needs to be explained..you? Thanks

@madmatt84 3 года назад

Semi helpful answer, we own a 2018 Golf GTE and had a Westfalia detachable tow bar fitted by the vw dealer pre-pickup, dedicated electrics not universal so the car knows its towing and adjusts many attributes, I beleive including gear changes and power feed in along with the usual stability control stuff. The car is a Hybrid however a couple of things; we were lucky from research pre 2018 there was alot of confusion over whether a tow car could be fitted to a EV/Hybrid of this model (speakEV forums), something to do with manufactorer accreditation. Glad we did however, with Covid restrictions last year affecting abroad holidays, post lockdown one we went exploring the Isle of White which was fab. The unbraked towing capacity for our car is 740KG from memory, i didnt notice my range drop much if at all, of course you can feel the extra weight but just be gentle with the right foot and its no bother. Hope the insight is useful - considering the aerodynamics of a trailer tent are not a massive hinderance compared to a caravan which is taller than a typical car's roof line, id say range on a pure EV - expect to lose 1/3rd to 1/2 at worse your real world non towing range.

@wojciechmuras553 3 года назад

I don't get the UK pricing. This thing is the equivalent of £16k in Poland, and that's BEFORE the government grant! With it, it gets as low as £13,5k!

You'll get more than 4.1m/kwh in the better weather, I used to get 4.5 out of my leaf in the summer and 3.9 in winter.

@@PaulByron4d What range are you getting?

@PaulByron4d 3 года назад

@@serendipity923 really depends on weather and speed and how I drive. It’s around 130-150 miles on full or near full but I’ve done 30 mile trips where I’ve barely used 10 miles due to a lot of downhill areas (very good recuperating on the brakes) to 60 mile trips that seemed to use 80 miles (long dual carriageway)

@stephengaskell8401 3 года назад

£100 a month? Where is the evidence for that? I haven't seen anything for under £160.

@PaulByron4d 3 года назад

Think that’s for business hire using the tax free option through your salary. Either that or you’d have to pay a pretty hefty deposit

@LouRaX 3 года назад

its possibly in germany u get 9000€ off the car price 3000€ on the price and 6000€ from the goverment but u have to deposit the 6000€ upfront to decrease the lease rates to 100€

@stevenbarrett7648 3 года назад

Really nice,and good to hear 160mi is achievable....even in winter ?

@electricwhirl5175 3 года назад

do your own math - in winter (0..+5 'C) on highway I get around 100km (@120km/h) -140km (@90km/h). On the city the same around 140km (if calculator correct, then 87 miles). On summer you can get in eco+ mode with very gentle right foot around 260km. The official range is achievable only if you drive battery down to zero, but that's bad for battery. In practical terms on range left for about 30-40km it starts to limit power/heating. In winter it gets really cold inside so you don't want to drive in eco mode, only with boots, thermo socks, hat and gloves :D

@Appgamernet 3 года назад

I seem to average 130 miles at the moment, December-now in the UK about -5 to 1 degree Celcius if I'm doing just town trips and a weekly 30 mile round trip to the city (no motorway). I've done 2 longer journeys in December with a long dual carriageway (70-75mph for about 20 minutes) and that really taxed the car so a 60ish mile journey took about 80-90 miles of electric.

More like 130 miles really. 32kWh battery x 4.1 miles per kWh. Still fine for around town and occasional long trip.

@robenglish416 3 года назад

36,8 kWh it says in my manual and I get more or less 250 km in summer with a fair amount of motorway driving. In winter it drops to 190 km. But it all depends on how you drive, like a fossil fuel car.

@PaulByron4d 3 года назад

How going electric can help you buy more shoes! You will need more shoes as they will wear out walking after the battery dies.

@smg7602 3 года назад

The first thing to do with this is to rip out the electric motor and put a engine in it preferably diesel.

@timaustin2000 3 года назад

@edwyncorteen1527 3 года назад

What are you going to do after 2030 and your Diesel is ridiculously expensive and you cannot buy a new one? I currently save £1000 per year by driving an EV.
