NHTSA Gives the Mitsubishi i-MiEV Four-Star Safety Rating
The i-MiEV’s composite rating is composed of threes, fours and fives throughout all areas of testing, though it did earn only two stars in passenger side-barrier tests. It aced the tougher side pole test, which simulates a 20-mph side-impact crash into a 10-inch-diameter pole or tree at a 75-degree angle. The i-MiEV earned five stars in that test.
