While Nissan has already previewed its tiny EV with the 2019 IMk concept, it&#8217;s only now Mitsubishi is unveiling its equivalent. Debuting this week at the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon, the K-EV concept X Style foretells the pint-sized electric hatchback.<\/p>\n<p>It wears a two-tone body by combining a predominantly solid matte blue with a copper roof &#8220;reminiscing the motor winding of an EV,&#8221; according to the Japanese automaker. Various &#8220;X&#8221; elements are noticeable, along with a raised ride height as a nod to kei wagons sold in the Land of the Rising Sun. Even though it&#8217;s officially labeled as a concept, the quirky little EV is officially confirmed to go on sale in Japan in the early fiscal year 2022, which will start in April 2022 and end in March 2023.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14607\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/kei_ev_concept_ext_img_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/kei_ev_concept_ext_img_03.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/kei_ev_concept_ext_img_03-1536x810.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Technical specifications are shrouded in mystery for the time being, but we do know Nissan&#8217;s version will be 3,395 mm (133.6 in) long, 1,475 mm (58 in) wide, and 1,655 mm (65.1 in) tall. Given the petite size, the electric kei cars will understandably have a small battery pack with a nominal capacity of just 20 kWh &#8220;to cover daily needs in Japan.&#8221; Nothing is official at this point, but rumors state it&#8217;ll have a range of 124 miles (200 kilometers) based on the local test cycle.<\/p>\n<p>The two models will stem from a 50\/50 joint venture formed by Mitsubishi and Nissan, officially known as &#8220;NMKV.&#8221; Taking into consideration local EV incentives, <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/08\/27\/nissan-cheap-small-ev-japan-confirmed\/\">Nissan said in August 2021 that its own version<\/a> would cost approximately two million yen or about $17,300 at current exchange rates. If you&#8217;re eager to buy a cheap electric car, Nissan has promised to have it on sale in early FY2022, which begins this April, or the same timeframe provided by Mitsu for its electric kei car.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Mitsubishi<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13650\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/p_211220_m_1353_img_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1422\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News about Mitsubishi and Nissan collaborating to launch an affordable electric kei car first emerged back in March 2021 courtesy of a report published by Nikkei Asia.
