Trunk dimensions Mitsubishi i-MiEV

The 2011 Mitsubishi i-MiEV offers a trunk volume of about 8.7 cu ft, increasing to approximately 30.4 cu ft when the rear seats are folded down.

The rear bench is split 60:40, allowing flexibility in transporting luggage. The interior is functionally designed, with a high loading lip that makes loading and unloading more difficult.

The trunk dimensions vary within the model range, with the compact design of the small car providing a limited but practical cargo space layout.

The shape of the trunk is rather square, optimizing the use of available space. Overall, the i-MiEV's trunk is suitable for urban needs but offers less cargo space compared to conventional small cars.

Model Information

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is a purely electric small car that was first introduced in 2009. It was developed as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional vehicles and features a compact design ideal for urban environments.

The i-MiEV is characterized by its efficiency, low operating costs, and the ability to drive emission-free. With an electric drive system and a range of up to 160 km, it is well suited for daily commuting.

Variants of the Same Series

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is mainly offered as a small car. There are no significant variants such as convertibles or wagons within this model range. The focus is on the electric sedan, which is available in various trim levels. These differences mainly concern equipment and not the body style.

Yearly Differences

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV has undergone some model changes over the years that affect body dimensions and trunk volume.

The first models from 2009 to 2012 had a compact design, while later models from 2013 received some adjustments in interior design and trunk configuration. These changes led to a slight improvement in practicality, but the trunk volume essentially remained constant.

Direct Competition

Comparable car models in the same price range and size are the Renault Zoe and the BMW i3. The Renault Zoe offers a trunk volume of about 11.9 cu ft, making it superior to the i-MiEV in this regard.

The BMW i3 has a trunk volume of around 9.2 cu ft. Both models thus offer more cargo space, which can be a decisive factor for buyers who value transport options.

More Affordable Alternatives

More affordable alternatives with similar trunk dimensions are the Dacia Spring and the Smart EQ Forfour. The Dacia Spring offers a trunk volume of about 10.2 cu ft, while the Smart EQ Forfour provides somewhat less cargo space at 6.5 cu ft.

These models are generally cheaper to purchase but offer different advantages and disadvantages regarding equipment and range.

Trunk space Mitsubishi i-MiEV

Mitsubishi i-MiEV trunk space volume — Trunk volume Mitsubishi i-MiEV

Trunk Volume

Manufacturer specification: 5.9 cu ft. This is −60.48% compared to an average car. The trunk accounts for only about 4% of the total car volume (LxWxH/2), which is −2.5 percentage points below average.

Everyday impact: The volume is sufficient for individual shopping bags, a small travel bag, or a backpack. Large suitcases, bulky sports equipment, or a full family grocery shopping fit hardly or only very limitedly. Those who regularly need to transport a lot of luggage will quickly reach limits.

Vehicle Size and Parking Friendliness

Dimensions: 137 in long, 58.3 in wide, 63.4 in high. Compared to average, the vehicle is 42.9 in shorter (−23.8%), 15 in narrower (−20.3%), and 2 in taller (+2.9%). It is also 60.2 in shorter and 40.6 in narrower than a standard parking space.

Everyday impact: Due to its small length and width, the i-MiEV is very parking- and maneuver-friendly in the city; tight parking spots and narrow streets are easier to use. However, the narrow body can lead to limited shoulder and seating comfort, especially when two adults sit side by side.

Trunk Usability and Flexibility

The combination of a very small trunk and compact exterior dimensions makes the loading area highly limited. Practical consequences:

Shopping: good for short trips and individual bags, poor for larger weekly shopping.
Travel: only minimal luggage space; for larger luggage, a roof rack or a larger vehicle is necessary.
Transport of bulky items: only limitedly possible due to volume.

Those who frequently need to transport larger items or plan longer trips with two people should consider the limited loading flexibility in advance.

General Model Information

Familiarity: The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is known as an early, series-produced electric small car and is clearly aimed at city traffic and short distances.

Special features: Very compact exterior dimensions and thus high parking friendliness; small trunk (5.9 cu ft) as a characteristic feature.

Characteristics: Very small loading volume with comparatively high interior height – good for headroom and interior feel, less good for luggage capacity. The narrow width affects seating comfort and seat width.

Price-performance ratio: The model typically offers low operating costs and easy city mobility in exchange for limited practicality regarding luggage and space. Whether the ratio is right depends on the individual usage profile (especially city traffic vs. long distances / transport needs).

Competitor models: Models with similar use cases are microcars and early city EVs as well as very compact combustion cars like the Smart Fortwo; larger electric cars like the Nissan Leaf offer significantly more space and are alternative options if more loading volume is desired.
