Mitsubishi have just announced the UK price for the i-MiEV: at £28,990 it is exactly the same price as the Nissan LEAF.
Starting January 1st, next year, UK buyers will be able to get a £5,000 off the price of both cars under the UK Government subsidy scheme. This will bring both cars down to £23,990, which is comparable to a top of the range Golf or Toyota Prius.
Because the price is identical to the LEAF, the two cars will undoubtedly be compared side by side. This is a shame as they are actually very different cars. If you want a small, funky city car, you'll probably like the i-MiEV over the LEAF, but the LEAF is bigger, faster, more comfortable, has better handling, has more 'toys' and is generally in a different league to the i-MiEV.
