What exactly is the point of the Seat Mii city car? After all, the very similar Volkswagen Up! is going to attract badge snobs, while the virtually identical Škoda Citigo will appeal to savvy buyers who appreciate value for money.
And that leaves the Spanish brand’s offering in a no-man’s land, where it risks being forgotten.
Perhaps in an acknowledgment of the situation, Seat has launched a customisation pack called Vibora Negra (Spanish for ‘black viper’) which is an attempt to confer a sporty image on the Mii.
It consists of various cosmetic accoutrements including body stripes, mirror caps, side skirts, a tailgate spoiler, a gloss gear knob, a chequered dashboard decal and either 14” or 15” alloy wheels. All come in a black finish, which is appropriate given the ‘negra’ name.
Available from all UK Seat dealers, the Vibora Negra add-ons are suitable for any Mii. Each of the elements can be bought separately, but getting them as a package saves 10% off the price.
Such a discount will be welcome, because the Vibora Negra pack isn’t cheap. Including VAT and fitting, it costs £1,628 with 14” wheels, or £1,740 with the 15” rims.
That could take the on the road price of the £9,980 three-door Mii Sport up to £11,700, making it £845 more than the most expensive three-door Volkswagen Up! - a not inconsiderable premium.
