The production version of the groundbreaking 100% electric-powered i-MiEV debuted at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show is sure to be a game-changer in the North American automotive landscape.

The North American i-MiEV, when compared to its Japanese- and European-spec compatriots, features a slightly larger body to provide even more interior comfort for four adults, along with redesigned front and rear bumpers for enhanced protection in the event of a collision. Active Stability Control (ASC), a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and airbags that control deployment force are standard features on the North American i-MiEV.





The North American i-MiEV is expected to have a MSRP of around USD$30,000 (before federal and available state financial incentives) and will be available in California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii in November 2011 before rolling out nationally within one year's time of its initial launch.
