Mitsubishi Motors Corporation will
introduce the European-spec version of its i-MiEV 100% electric
vehicle at the 2010 Paris Motor Show to be held at Paris Expo – Porte de
Versailles in Paris.
A total of 12 vehicles will be
displayed at its stand including:
- The recently introduced ASX
compact crossover equipped with MMC’s all-new
- “low impact” 4N13 diesel engine
- The Lancer Sportback (Galant
Fortis Sportback in Japan) now featuring the same 150 ps 1.
DiD engine
- The new Outlander 2.2 DiD
mid-size crossover, whose 177 ps unit is a further derivative
(4N14) of this same family of
innovative diesel powerplants. Concerning the European-spec i-MiEV, MMC
plans to successively roll it out from December of this year in 14
countries*1 including France, the United Kingdom, Germany and further
expand the European rollout from fiscal year 2011.
The price of the European-spec i-MiEV
will differ by country but will be set to around €33,000 – €35,000 (or
equivalent) so that the final cost to the customer after government
incentives (where applicable) remains under €30,000 (or equivalent) in a
majority of the countries it is to be sold in.
Compared with the Japanese market
version, the European-spec i-MiEV includes specific features
such as:
- New design to the front and rear
bumpers to meet EU regulations
- Rearranged centre stack in the
instrument panel
- Improved interior comfort
Furthermore, safety – both active &
passive - has been improved with the addition of Active Stability
Control (ASC) as well as side and curtain airbags, all standard
equipment. To celebrate 40 years of electric development at Mitsubishi
Motors, a further display in Hall 8 will present the 1989 Mitsubishi
Minicab EV for the first time in Europe, as part of “The Incredible
Collection” heritage show.
