Mitsubishi i-MiEV Canada Pricing Set at CAD32,998

Mitsubishi Motors has announced full pricing, plus standard and premium trim for the little i-MiEV electric vehicle on the Canadian market. The model will sell for CAD32,998 or the equivalent of USD33,891 at today’s exchange rates.

In the Canadian market, the EV will be available in the global form and not the longer and wider US-only i version. There will be two trim levels, with the standard one offering stuff you’d expect to find in a regular car (air con, heating for the driver’s seat and keyless entry). Meanwhile the premium package adds bigger wheel, a better stereo and navigation, all for CAD 35,998 or the equivalent of USD36,972.

Last year, Mitsubishi brought over a fleet of 50 i-MiEVs to Canada for testing. The “Drive coast to coast for less than it cost to run your fridge last year” message on Mitsubishi Canada’s website is a reference to the Clean Across Canada Tour that Mitsubishi from last year.

"We are very proud to be leading the way to a greener and more sustainable future by developing environment-friendly vehicles, fueled by clean, renewable energy," said Koji Soga, president and CEO of MMSCAN. "Mitsubishi Motors is a leader in electric car development and the i-MiEV represents the pinnacle of our green technologies. In the same sense, Hydro-Québec and the City of Boucherville are demonstrating their environmental leadership by participating in this unique initiative."
