Mitsubishi’s i-MiEV electric vehicle is returning for the 2016 model year with some much needed upgrades that will make it a bit more livable. If you were to walk into a Mitsubishi showroom today to buy the i-MiEV you’d notice that it doesn’t come with simple tech gadgets like Bluetooth or even a navigation system. Thankfully those will be part of the options list when the 2016 i-MiEV arrives this spring.

A new Navigation Package is available for the 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV that includes an MMCS navigation system with 7-in. touchscreen display, real-time traffic, 3D mapping and Mapcare, Bluetooth, a USB port and rear view camera. The Navigation Package adds $2,000 to the base price of the i-MiEV, which starts at $22,995. The i-MiEV comes standard with heated driver and front passenger seats, remote keyless entry and heated side mirrors.
