Detailed analysis of the SEAT Mii 5p 1.0 68 CV GNC Style (2017-2018)
General description
The 2012 SEAT Mii, in its 5-door version with a 1.0 68 hp CNG Style engine, is presented as an intelligent and economical urban option. This small utility vehicle, with its ability to run on gasoline or natural gas, offers an interesting alternative for those seeking efficiency and reduced running costs in their daily lives. Its compact design makes it the ideal companion for the city, where agility and ease of parking are key.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the SEAT Mii, the predominant sensation is one of agility and ease. Its modest 68 hp are sufficient to move around the urban environment with ease. The electric, speed-sensitive power steering facilitates maneuvers, making every turn and every parking a breeze. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and torsion beam with trailing arm at the rear, offers an adequate balance between comfort and stability, absorbing road irregularities without sacrificing connection with the road. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 16.3 seconds and a top speed of 164 km/h show that, while not a racing car, it more than meets the needs for daily commutes and occasional getaways. The combined consumption of 2.9 l/100km (WLTP) is one of its great assets, allowing for remarkable fuel economy.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the SEAT Mii is functional and attractive, with clean lines and balanced proportions that give it a friendly and modern presence. Despite its compact dimensions (3557 mm long, 1645 mm wide, and 1478 mm high), the Mii manages to maximize interior space, offering a surprisingly spacious cabin for four occupants. The five doors facilitate access to the rear seats, a practical detail in a car of this segment. The trunk, with 213 liters, is sufficient for weekly shopping or small suitcases. The 165/70 R14 tires on 5x14 inch wheels complement its urban aesthetic, while details such as the 256 mm front disc brakes and 200 mm rear drums, although simple, are adequate for its weight and performance.
Technology and features
In the technology section, the SEAT Mii focuses on the essential and the practical. Its three-cylinder, 999 cc engine, with indirect injection and a compression ratio of 11.5, is designed for efficiency. The ability to run on natural gas (CNG) is its most outstanding feature, offering a more ecological and economical alternative to traditional fuel. The 5-speed manual transmission is precise and easy to use, contributing to a direct driving experience. Although it does not have the latest infotainment innovations or driving assistants seen in more recent models, the Mii meets what is necessary for an urban car, prioritizing reliability and ease of use. Its DGT ECO label is a clear indicator of its commitment to the environment and the advantages this entails in terms of access to low-emission zones.
Competition
The SEAT Mii competes in the micro-urban segment, where it faces models such as the Volkswagen up! and the Skoda Citigo, with which it shares a platform and many components, offering a very similar experience with slight aesthetic and equipment variations. Other direct rivals include the Fiat 500, the Toyota Aygo, the Citroën C1, and the Peugeot 108. Compared to them, the Mii stands out for its CNG option, which gives it an advantage in terms of cost per kilometer and sustainability. Its sober and functional design, together with the VAG group's reputation for reliability, position it as a very sensible alternative in a highly competitive segment.
Conclusion
The SEAT Mii 5p 1.0 68 hp CNG Style is a car that more than fulfills its purpose: to be an efficient, economical, and easy-to-drive urban utility vehicle. Its ability to use natural gas makes it a very attractive option for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint and fuel expenses. Although it is not a powerhouse of luxury or power, its practical design, agility in the city, and reliability make it a highly recommended travel companion. It is an honest car, unpretentious, that offers exactly what it promises and does it very well. A smart choice for city life.
