Mitsubishi i-MiEV four-star ANCAP safety rating
The all-electric Mitsubishi i-MiEV has been awarded a four-star safety rating by the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).
The first fully electric car to be tested for the Australian market, the i-MiEV scored a total of 28.35 out of 37 points.
In the offset crash test it scored 10.95 out of 16, while in the side impact test it managed 14.4 out of 16. Protection from serious chest and leg injury was marginal for the driver in the front test, and there was a moderate risk of serious chest injury to the driver in the side test.
While a four-star rating is a solid effort, ANCAP Chair Lauchlan McIntosh said many other light cars – including variants of the Ford Fiesta, Hyundai i20 and Volkswagen Polo to name just a few – achieved a five-star rating while also being fuel efficient.
