All four seats can be individually air-conditioned by the system board. For people with a tendency to hay fever and similar vulnerabilities have been built inside an anti-allergic surface. Window and have an insulating coating, which will reduce the room temperature and the energy consumption.

To increase security, Mitsubishi has come up a lot. The air in the vehicle can be enriched with oxygen. Occur during driver fatigue phenomena, the onboard computer gives an audible, visual and aromatic warning. The second bedroom has therefore no chance.



The 1.6-liter gasoline engine is supported only when needed and provides a torque of 125 Nm. Its 116 horsepower, either direct or act as a generator of locomotion for the lithium ion batteries. The two electric motors strips together and achieve 60 kW 200 Nm. If the combined operation to be possible, would be the acceleration of 320 Nm, which therefore would be extremely agile for a hybrid vehicle.

In the electric mode alone creates the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV 50 km before the batteries run out of steam. Combined, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers less than 2 liters. But here are the instructions of the manufacturer, which were determined by in-house tests, which means the best possible conditions, but even if the car consumes 2.5 liters or 3, this is among the services provided are still very economical.
