Based on the 2012 EPA Annual Fuel Economy Guide mileage estimates, the new Mitsubishi i delivers a jaw-dropping, EPA-estimated 112 combined MPGe… That's an estimated 126 MPGe on the highway and 99 MPGe in the city. For readers not familiar with the acronym, MPGe refers to miles per gallon-electric.
Considering the long-term value that comes with that kind of efficiency, it's hard to believe that the i starts as low as $21,625. Competitive seems an understatement. Especially considering that should anything go wrong with the battery within the first eight years or 100 thousand miles of ownership (whichever comes first), Mitsubishi will cover it under warranty.
Beyond a most-impressive battery warranty, Mitsubishi's generosity extends to safety features. For example, the Mitsubishi i is specially engineered with six airbags and safe RISE body design.
What in the world is RISE?
…Certainly not obvious to non-Mitsubishi engineers, that's for sure. Essentially, it's a unique vehicle body shape strategically integrated with energy-absorbing crumple zones. This means that while the i might be small, it's incredibly safe.
To think those are just some of the advanced safety features of the Mitsubishi i!
