Displacement on the gasoline engines is 657 cc or 659 cc. Kerb weight in the data runs from 880 kg (all 48 hp 0.7 versions) to 1120 kg (heavier electric AT). Ground clearance is 165 mm on both electric AT versions and 160 mm on every gasoline version. Fuel tank volume is 30 L where measured (all gasoline versions) and not measured on electric AT. 0–100, top speed, mpg/fuel consumption, CO2, eco class, wheel sizes, and Mitsubishi Minicab price are not measured in this dataset.

This page is the Mitsubishi Minicab specs sheet for the 1999–2014 Microvan generation only. Queries such as 1993 / 1996 / 1997 / 1998 Mitsubishi Minicab specs, Mitsubishi Minicab truck, kei truck, bed dimensions, and MiEV dimensions are not covered here: those body types, years, and figures are not in the data.

Mitsubishi Minicab generations

1 generation (1999–2014), Microvan, 8 versions

1 generation ran from 1999-01-01 to 2014-12-31 as a Microvan. All 8 versions share those dates. The set is: AT 41 hp (kerb 1100 kg), AT 41 hp (kerb 1120 kg), 0.7 AT 48 hp RWD, 0.7 MT 48 hp AWD, 0.7 MT 48 hp RWD, 0.7 AT 48 hp AWD, 0.7 MT 64 hp AWD, 0.7 AT 64 hp RWD. Restyling is not listed as a separate generation.

Mitsubishi Minicab engine specs

Electric AT uses type Electro, fuel Electro, central engine location, 41 hp (30 kW) at 6000 rpm and 196 Nm at 300 rpm. Displacement, cylinders, cylinder layout, valves per cylinder, boost, and feed system are not measured on both electric AT versions.

Gasoline engines are type Gasoline, fuel 95, 3 cylinders, Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, boost No or Turbo, feed Distributed injection (multi-point), compression ratio 8.5. Engine location on all gasoline versions is not measured.

• Naturally aspirated 0.7 AT 48 hp and 0.7 MT 48 hp: 657 cc, 48 hp (35 kW) at 6000 rpm, 62 Nm at 4000 rpm, boost No, bore × stroke 65 × 66.
• Turbo 0.7 MT 64 hp and 0.7 AT 64 hp: 659 cc, 64 hp (47 kW) at 6500 rpm, 98 Nm at 3000 rpm, boost Turbo, bore × stroke 60 × 58.3.

The turbo peak is 16 hp and 36 Nm above the naturally aspirated 48 hp engine (64 − 48; 98 − 62). Electric AT torque (196 Nm) is 134 Nm above the 48 hp gasoline peak (196 − 62) and 98 Nm above the turbo peak (196 − 98), at 300 rpm versus 4000 or 3000 rpm.

Mitsubishi Minicab horsepower in this generation is therefore 41, 48, or 64 hp. Engine oil capacity, timing marks, engine number location, engine swap, and engines for sale are not measured.

Mitsubishi Minicab top speed, 0–100, mpg

Performance and economy figures are not measured on every version.

• 0–100: not measured (all 8 versions).
• Top speed: not measured (all 8 versions), including both electric AT and all 0.7 gasoline versions.
• City / highway / combined consumption (mpg): not measured (all 8 versions).
• CO2: not measured (all 8 versions).
• Eco class: not measured (all 8 versions).

Mitsubishi Minicab dimensions, weight, weight capacity

Length, width, height, wheelbase, bed dimensions, truck dimensions, and wheel sizes are not measured for this Microvan generation.

Ground clearance

• AT 41 hp (both kerb weights): 165 mm.
• All six 0.7 gasoline versions: 160 mm.
• Electric AT sits 5 mm higher (165 − 160).

Kerb weight (Mitsubishi Minicab weight)

• 0.7 AT 48 hp RWD, 0.7 MT 48 hp AWD, 0.7 MT 48 hp RWD, 0.7 AT 48 hp AWD: 880 kg.
• 0.7 AT 64 hp RWD: 940 kg (60 kg above the 48 hp group: 940 − 880).
• 0.7 MT 64 hp AWD: 980 kg (100 kg above 48 hp: 980 − 880; 40 kg above turbo 0.7 AT 64 hp: 980 − 940).
• AT 41 hp: 1100 kg and 1120 kg (the two electric AT versions differ by 20 kg: 1120 − 1100). Electric AT at 1100 kg is 220 kg heavier than the 48 hp gasoline group (1100 − 880) and 120 kg heavier than turbo 0.7 MT 64 hp AWD (1100 − 980).

Gross weight (weight capacity as listed)

• Electric AT (both): not measured.
• Four 48 hp 0.7 versions: 1100 kg. Payload from kerb to gross on those four is 220 kg (1100 − 880).
• 0.7 AT 64 hp RWD: 1160 kg. Payload from kerb 940 kg is 220 kg (1160 − 940).
• 0.7 MT 64 hp AWD: 1200 kg. Payload from kerb 980 kg is 220 kg (1200 − 980).

Where both kerb and gross are measured, the listed spread is 220 kg on every gasoline version.

Fuel tank

• Electric AT (both): not measured.
• All six gasoline 0.7 versions: 30 L.

Chassis (same labels on all 8 versions)

• Front suspension: Independent, spring.
• Rear suspension: Dependent, spring.
• Front brakes: Ventilated disc.
• Rear brakes: Drum.

Which Mitsubishi Minicab version to choose

There is no price data. Choice is by fuel, drive, gearbox, and the measured weights.

Electric RWD, Automatic 1-speed. Both AT versions are Electro / Electro, central motor, 41 hp / 196 Nm, RWD, Automatic with 1 gear, clearance 165 mm. Distinguish them only by kerb weight: 1100 kg versus 1120 kg. Tank, gross weight, 0–100, top speed, and mpg are not measured on either.

Lightest gasoline, 48 hp, 657 cc, boost No. Four versions share 48 hp, 62 Nm, 880 kg kerb, 1100 kg gross, 160 mm clearance, 30 L tank:

• 0.7 AT 48 hp RWD — Automatic, 4 gears, RWD.
• 0.7 AT 48 hp AWD — Automatic, 4 gears, AWD.
• 0.7 MT 48 hp RWD — Manual, 5 gears, RWD.
• 0.7 MT 48 hp AWD — Manual, 5 gears, AWD.

Pick Automatic vs Manual by 0.7 AT vs 0.7 MT, and RWD vs AWD (4x4 in search terms maps to AWD in the data) by the drive field. These four are 60–100 kg lighter than the turbo pair and 220–240 kg lighter than electric AT.

Turbo gasoline, 64 hp, 659 cc. Two versions:

• 0.7 MT 64 hp AWD — Manual, 5 gears, AWD, 980 kg kerb, 1200 kg gross.
• 0.7 AT 64 hp RWD — Automatic, 4 gears, RWD, 940 kg kerb, 1160 kg gross.

Turbo 0.7 AT 64 hp is the lighter turbo (940 kg). Turbo 0.7 MT 64 hp is the only 64 hp AWD and the heaviest gasoline Minicab here (980 kg / 1200 kg). There is no 64 hp Automatic AWD and no 64 hp Manual RWD in the data.

Drive count. RWD: both electric AT, 0.7 AT 48 hp RWD, 0.7 MT 48 hp RWD, 0.7 AT 64 hp RWD (5 versions). AWD: 0.7 MT 48 hp AWD, 0.7 AT 48 hp AWD, 0.7 MT 64 hp AWD (3 versions).

Mitsubishi Minicab van in this file is the Microvan body of 1 generation (1999–2014). Mitsubishi Minicab truck, kei truck, parts catalogues, and sale listings are not in the data.
