New SEAT Mii Ecofuel makes world debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2013

“The new SEAT Mii Ecofuel now makes environmentally friendly CNG technology affordable for all,” explains James Muir, President of SEAT S.A. “Its attractive starting price and exceptionally low consumption and emissions figures make the Mii Ecofuel one of the most interesting and sensible choices available – even for high-mileage drivers.”

As in the petrol-driven Mii models, the Ecofuel version features a three-cylinder spark-ignition engine with a displacement of 999 cc. In the CNG variant, the compact power unit generates 68 PS at 6,200 rpm. The exceptionally lightweight and high-revving engine reaches its maximum torque of 90 Nm at 3,000 rpm. Its average fuel consumption of just 2.9 kg of CNG per one hundred kilometers and the associated CO₂ figure of just 79 g/km are best-in-class.

The SEAT Mii Ecofuel, which is making its debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2013 (4-6 March), will be initially introduced in markets such as Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden and the Czech Republic where there is a clear demand for natural gas-powered cars and the infrastructure to support it.
