Hatchback
The Mitsubishi i hatchback was first introduced in 2004 at the Tokyo Auto Show. The car was created on the basis of another baby - Smart Fortwo. Mitsubishi i is a unique car, the feature of which is that the engine is located across the car in the area of ​​the rear axle, which is considered to be the leading one. This layout is called MR (Middle-Rear). This arrangement of the motor led to a decrease in load capacity. Thanks to this, the car received an unusual design - it provides only a small hood, smoothly turning into a large windshield. This arrangement of the engine increased the wheelbase (up to 2550 mm) and the usable area of ​​the cabin, the length of which is 179 cm, which allows four people to fit inside.
