“It is an electric vehicle, the cheapest one out there. The idea was to get transportation costs down to a minimum. It does it very well. They really have a well-thought-out vehicle and I highly recommend it.”
2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV is a much longer list of standard equipment, led by a CHAdeMO fast-charge port and cold-weather hardware. The U.S. lineup is simplified to one ES trim, while its motor, battery, and EPA-rated range remain unchanged.
About the 2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV
First U.S. i-MiEV generation, mid-run equipment-update year.
Mitsubishi positions the i-MiEV as a city-focused electric hatchback that is tiny on the outside but surprisingly useful inside. The core appeal is simple electric commuting: easy parking, room for four adults, low day-to-day energy use, and straightforward charging hardware in a very small footprint. Against larger EVs, it stands out less for range or highway performance and more for urban maneuverability, practical packaging, and standard fast-charging hardware for short-trip use.
The 2014 i-MiEV ES is a tiny four-seat electric hatchback built for short city trips and easy parking. Its 49-kW motor and 16-kWh battery provide an EPA-rated 62 miles of range, while a fast-charge port, heated front seats, battery warming system, and remote climate controls make it more practical for daily use.
