Detailed analysis of the SEAT Mii 3p 1.0 60 CV Reference Ecomotive (2012-2016)
General description
The 2012 SEAT Mii, in its 3-door version with a 1.0 60 hp engine and Reference Ecomotive trim, is presented as a compact and efficient urban option. Priced at 10,390 euros at its launch, this small utility vehicle aims to win over those who prioritize agility in the city and adjusted consumption. Its functional design and contained dimensions make it a perfect ally for daily life in urban environments.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the SEAT Mii, the predominant feeling is one of agility and ease of handling. Its 60 hp, though modest, are sufficient to move its 940 kg with ease in urban traffic. The speed-sensitive electric power steering facilitates maneuvers and parking. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and torsion beam with trailing arm at the rear, offers a good compromise between comfort and stability, absorbing asphalt irregularities without transmitting excessive vibrations to the cabin. The three-cylinder engine, with indirect injection, is willing and its sound, though present, is not annoying. The 5-speed manual gearbox is precise and contributes to a pleasant driving experience. On the road, its performance is more limited, but it allows maintaining legal cruising speeds without great fanfare. The Stop&Start system helps reduce consumption in the city, providing a touch of modernity and efficiency.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 3-door SEAT Mii is simple and functional, with clean lines that seek to maximize interior space in a compact size. Its dimensions of 3557 mm long, 1641 mm wide, and 1478 mm high make it ideal for the city. The front features a discreet grille and appropriately sized headlights, while the rear is vertical to optimize trunk space. The 14-inch wheels with 165/65 R14 tires are proportional to the overall package. The interior, though sober, is well resolved, with materials that, without being luxurious, fulfill their function and offer a feeling of durability. The layout of the controls is intuitive and the space for four occupants is surprisingly good for its size, as is the 251-liter trunk, which places it among the best in its category.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2012 SEAT Mii focuses on efficiency and functionality. Its 1.0-liter 60 hp three-cylinder gasoline engine, with 999 cc, incorporates indirect injection and a Stop&Start system that contributes to a combined consumption of 4.1 l/100km and CO2 emissions of 96 g/km, which gives it the DGT's C label. The electric and speed-sensitive power steering improves the urban driving experience. Although it does not boast great technological features in terms of infotainment, its basic equipment meets the needs of an urban car, prioritizing reliability and economy of use. The 256 mm front disc brakes and 200 mm rear drums offer adequate braking for its weight and performance.
Competition
The SEAT Mii competes in the small urban segment, where it faces direct rivals such as the Volkswagen up! and the Skoda Citigo, with which it shares a platform and many of its components. Other competitors include the Fiat Panda, the Hyundai i10, the Kia Picanto, and the Toyota Aygo. Compared to them, the Mii stands out for its balance between price, efficiency, and a design with SEAT's Spanish touch, offering a solid alternative for those looking for a practical and economical car for the city.
Conclusion
The 2012 SEAT Mii 3p 1.0 60 hp Reference Ecomotive is an honest and effective car. Its proposal focuses on urban mobility, offering a compact size, very adjusted consumption, and ease of driving that make it ideal for daily life in the city.

Its simple design and functional interior reinforce its utilitarian character, making it a sensible purchase for the segment it is aimed at.
