Seat launches its first all electric series production vehicle

News

Seat has started its electric offensive with the introduction of the Mii electric.

The Mii electric fuses dynamism, elegant design, an advanced powertrain, and new levels of connectivity with affordability and low cost of ownership.

Seat's first production all-electric vehicle also lays the groundwork for future members to the family, with more EVs and PHEVs due to join the Mii electric in the near future, including the all-electric Seat el-Born, plug-in hybrid versions of the Tarraco and Leon, and high-performance plug-in hybrid versions of Cupra Formentor and Cupra Leon.

“The market is changing, and electrification is expanding at an unprecedented rate. In Europe, the electric vehicle market grew by 46% in the first 4 months of the year, moving forward we expect electrified vehicles to play an important role within our range,” said Luca de Meo, President of Seat. “The Mii electric is the start of that journey, and at the same time brings to the market an affordable electric car.”

Thanks to its compact dimensions, the Mii electric offers agility while driving in the city and while parking. The Mii electric has been designed to meet the demands of modern driving, whether traversing the bustling streets of the inner city or navigating through suburbia, taking up the mantle from the combustion engine Mii when production of that vehicle ends in July 2019.

The Mii electric's exterior is subtlely refreshed with the introduction of electric lettering at the rear, electric stickers on the side and 16” alloy wheels in matte cosmo grey. Inside, delicate changes include a new dashboard with Seat IML foil, ambient lighting, sporty and heated seats, black sport leather steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake. In addition, the Mii electric comes equipped with Lane Assist as a standard equipment. But the greatest transformation comes under the bonnet.

The Mii electric's motor, linked to a single speed transmission, provides its 61kW (83PS) of power and 212Nm of torque instantly, meaning the five-door car can reach 50km/h from a standstill in only 3.9 seconds - perfect for jumping in and out of traffic. And the car's 36.8kWh lithium-ion battery pack, provides up to 260km of range from a single charge based on the WLTP test cycle.

“The Seat Mii electric combines every attribute customers expect from the brand: fun to drive, performance and acceleration, but sprinkles added qualities on top: silence, low cost of ownership and even greater levels of connectivity,” said Axel Andorff, Executive Vice-President for Research & Development at Seat.

The Spanish automaker's first production all-electric vehicle is targeted at both private customers and fleets, those who spend the majority of their time traversing metropolitan and suburban streets, and see the benefit of zero emissions, but don't want to surrender driver engagement when they're behind the steering wheel.

When the Mii electric enters its key markets - Germany, Netherlands, Norway, France, Spain, Austria, UK, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Finland and Sweden - it will be one of the most affordable electric vehicle. Costing the same as an equivalent combustion engine vehicle in the segment, the vehicle will have significantly lower total cost of ownership since EVs require less maintenance. In order to make customer's life easier, Seat will also offer charging options such as the installation of a Seat Wallbox.
