2010 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Brochure
When the i-MiEV arrived in 2010, it filled a gap few automakers were willing to occupy: the affordable, purpose-built city electric. Its 47 kW motor and 160 km range made no claims to highway ambition—buyers wanted urban practicality, and Mitsubishi delivered exactly that. The brochure showed a car stripped of pretence: compact, efficient, engineered for congested European stre
2011 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Brochure
By 2011, the i-MiEV lineup offered buyers two distinct body styles: the compact hatchback and the taller i-MiEV Sport, each powered by the same 49-kW electric motor but tailored to different usage patterns. The base model delivered 160 kilometres of range on a full charge, while the Sport variant prioritised interior space and visibility for urban commuters. Both versions arriv
2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Brochure
By 2012, the i-MiEV's 49 kW electric motor and 16 kWh lithium-ion battery delivered a practical 160-kilometre range, positioning it against early plug-in competitors in a still-nascent market segment. The compact footprint and low operating costs appealed to urban buyers wary of fuel prices, though charging infrastructure remained sparse. Its modest acceleration masked genuine
2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Brochure
By 2014, the i-MiEV faced a tightening field: the Nissan Leaf had captured early adopter mindshare, and the Renault ZOE was climbing sales charts with superior range. Mitsubishi's 16 kWh battery delivered 49 kW and a 160 km reach—modest by emerging standards, but the compact footprint and nippy urban manners gave it a distinct edge in congested European cities where the Leaf fe
2015 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Brochure
By 2015, the i-MiEV had already pioneered affordable electric motoring in Europe, yet it faced stiffening competition from the Nissan Leaf and emerging Chinese brands. Mitsubishi's answer was to refine what worked: the 49-kW motor remained, the 160-kilometre range stayed modest, but pricing held firm at the budget end of the EV market. Buyers seeking a no-fuss city car with zer
2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Brochure
By 2016, Mitsubishi's i-MiEV lineup offered buyers a choice between the standard city hatchback and the slightly roomier i-MiEV ES trim, both powered by the same 49 kW electric motor fed by a 16 kWh lithium battery pack. Climate control, power steering, and LED daytime running lights appeared across the range, while higher trims added heated seats and a seven-inch touchscreen.
2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Brochure
By 2017, the i-MiEV's 49 kW electric motor and 28 kWh battery pack delivered a range suitable for urban commuting across most EU markets. Acceleration felt adequate rather than spirited—0 to 100 km/h took around 13 seconds—but the low centre of gravity from floor-mounted cells gave it composed handling on tight European streets. Charging infrastructure was expanding; buyers cou
