Mitsubishi i-MiEV sneaks in under $49K
Pricing delayed as Mitsubishi did the sums, but the retail figure's now out there: $48,800It took a while, but Mitsubishi Australia has revealed the official manufacturer's list price for the i-MiEV electrical vehicle.
Due to go on sale in August, the tiny car will sell for $48,800, before on-road costs. The price applies to the 2012 model year vehicle, which features side curtain airbags and stability control as standard — features not fitted to the i-MiEV launched here last year and leased by 'foundation customers', including the Carsales Network.
"We are very pleased to announce the new recommended retail price of our 2012 model year i-MiEV is $48,800 plus on road costs," said company President and CEO, Genichiro Nishina.
"This represents a 22.5 per cent reduction on the cost of the previous model, and makes this groundbreaking technology more accessible to general consumers."
