How we verify Mitsubishi i-MiEV performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Mitsubishi i-MiEV trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Mitsubishi i-MiEV performance FAQs
6 questions The quickest production Mitsubishi i-MiEV on record is the 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV SE , which runs 0–60 mph in 13.00 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 20.30 seconds at 67.0 mph. A modified 2010 Mitsubishi i-MiEV is quicker still at 13.50 seconds, but is not a stock car and is excluded from our records.
The slowest recorded production Mitsubishi i-MiEV is the 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV SE, which takes 13.40 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 19.40 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across the 2 verified production runs, a Mitsubishi i-MiEV reaches 60 mph in 13.20 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 19.85 seconds at roughly 69.1 mph. 1 modified or prototype run is recorded separately and excluded from this average.
We have verified test data for 2 model years, covering 2 production runs plus 1 modified or prototype run shown separately. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver and Motor Trend. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Mitsubishi i-MiEV can do, not a single marketing claim.
