The overall style of the i MiEV SPORT AIR resembles a modern VW Beetle, but with the wheel-well arches molded into the body itself. It also has a stretched back design – very aerodynamic and reminiscent of an Olympic skiers helmet.

Earlier that bechances, the i-MiEV flows from to come in the U.S. market in 2011 and Nissan has already moved aggressively to cost the flick at under $33,000. With that in bear in mind, are aspiring for a dagger cost by below $30,000 for its EV before the $7,500 federal tax credit. The real life ambit by the i-MiEV is likely to be as low as 50-60 miles, with no range annex capableness. And as so much a low range, the diminutive EV will need an advantageous cost to acquire whatever adhesive friction in the commercialise.

The i-Miev is a creature built for urban mobility. At only 133.7-inches long overall, it’s almost a full foot shorter than a Mini Cooper and it rides on super-narrow 145/65R15 front and 175/55R15 rear tires. But with its 47-kilowatt engine driving the rear wheels and 330-volt li-ion battery pack mounted low in the chassis, it’s stable and nimble. The motor’s instantaneous torque means there’s seemingly always thrust available, and the 63.4-inch tall i-Miev can squirt through traffic holes that behemoths like the Honda Civic or Mazda3 wouldn’t even dare. Forget issues of range and charging time for a moment—it’s hard to think of any vehicle better suited for pounding across the cityscape than the i-Miev, no matter what the drivetrain.

Inside, Mitsubishi did more than simply convert the car to left-hand-drive. Designers were given some freedom to spruce up the cabin, adding a new upper dashboard, flush-mounted radio design, vertically arranged HVAC controls, and a striking two-tone color scheme. Although we’ll reserve judgment until we step foot inside, the revisions do appear more upscale than JDM cabins.
