SEAT Mii Electric vs Skoda CITIGOe iV

The SEAT Mii Electric costs £2,345 more than the Skoda CITIGOe iV. On the headline specs that premium buys little measurable advantage - the two are closely matched on range, charging and space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the SEAT Mii Electric comes out ahead overall.

The Skoda CITIGOe iV is £2,345 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £152 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Skoda CITIGOe iV comes out roughly £2,345 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 134 miles for the SEAT Mii Electric and 134 miles for the Skoda CITIGOe iV - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 60-60 minutes.

The two are within 0 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 755 mm of total clearance for the SEAT Mii Electric and about 755 mm of total clearance for the Skoda CITIGOe iV.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the SEAT Mii Electric and 84% for the Skoda CITIGOe iV. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
