Overview

Belonging to the subcompact hatchback segment, the 2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Hatchback carries all the qualities of a true electric vehicle. With a starting price of MSRP $22,995, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV offers just one trim level. This puts it in direct competition with cars like the Nissan Leaf, the Chevrolet Spark EV, and the Fiat 500e. There aren#39;t any powertrain options to explore here. The i-MiEV is equipped with a single motor setup and a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery with a rated power output of 66 horsepower. Through this setup, the i-MiEV gets a range of 62 miles. In a straight line, the i-MiEV clocks a 0-60 of 14.7 seconds. While the powertrain leaves you devoid of choices, the choice is instead offered through the 4 beautiful colors available for the car.

Buying Advice

The 2014 i-MiEV comes in a single trim level. It offers an ample set of features that should suffice the needs of most shoppers. It gets single-zone front air conditioning, heated side mirrors, remote keyless power door locks, etc.
