Buyer’s Guide
The 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV continues to be the lowest cost EV in Canada, starting at $27,998. But with that low price comes a rather short 100 km range. Compare that to the Nissan Leaf which starts at $32,698 and gives 172 km, or the Chevrolet Spark which is $32,445 and has 131 km of range. The Mitsubishi has an AC motor making 66 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque, which it routes through a single speed direct drive. The battery is a 16 kWh lithium-ion battery with a seven-hour charge time on a 240V plug, which is a little slow for the size. The i-MiEV was one of the first modern electric cars to market (beating the Nissan Leaf), but it hasn't changed much since then and the technology has moved on. Still, if you want a cheap and cheerful EV, especially for a city car, the price of entry of the I-MiEV is hard to beat. Based on a Japanese "kei-car" mini car platform, low-speed nip and tuck city driving is where this EV feels most at home.
The i-MiEV hums into 2017 unchanged, and comes in just one trim. The i-MiEV ES includes 15-inch alloys, auto headlights, heated front seats, air conditioning, and a six-speaker stereo. A navigation system with 7.0-inch screen, backup camera, and 400-watt stereo is available as an option.

A sudden increase in brake pedal effort could lead to an increase in stopping distance. This could increase the risk of a crash.

Model year(s) affected

Manufacturer Recall Number:
SR-17-008
Units Affected:
205
Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Note: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.
