Not exact matches
The PHEV's origins can instead be traced to the iMiEV, the five - door
electric hatchback based on Mitsubishi's «i»
kei car.
The 2 - seater «
kei - car» is either powered by a 660 cc gasoline engine capable of 32 kW (44 bhp) @ 5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 57 Nm @ 3500 rpm or a 192V
electric powertrain with a power of 5 kW between 1500 - 4500 pm and 32 Nm of torque.
A joint venture to produce gasoline
kei cars made sense for the two makers, and now an
electric adaptation of that car — just as the i - MiEV was adapted from the gasoline «i» — seems to be the likely outcome of this announcement.
Mitsubishi already sells the MiEV, an
electric variant of their popular «i»
kei - car, in Japan as well as Hong Kong and the UK, and plans to roll out MiEV sales to nineteen European countries starting this year.
