Mitsubishi Concept CA-MiEV – the shape of the future

mitsu ca-miev

The Concept GR-HEV isn’t the only future-design vehicle Mitsubishi will be premiering in Geneva next month. The automaker is also set to deploy its Concept CA-MiEV, a study intimating the design direction its next-gen compact EV will likely take.

There’s little to glean shape-wise from the solitary pix of the car, save a rakish-looking light array and a far meatier shape than that of its current i-MiEV. Mitsu says that the concept incorporates a lightweight and aerodynamic body, as well as a slew of next-generation EV technologies that are under development.

The high-energy density batteries and high-efficiency motor, inverter, regenerative braking and wireless charging systems on call, allied to the lightness, is good enough to offer the car a cruising range of 300 km, nearly double that of the i-MiEV, which made its working debut in 2009.

    I suspect the C in the name could refer to Colt… next generation?

    Mitsubisho sold their soul to the devil long time ago and people now realise the engines they gave Proton were outdated and old. How Malaysians were cheated for 25 years.
