2009 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Cargo concept - Click above for high-res image gallery

Alongside its production i-MiEV (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/05/mitsubishi-launches-production-of-the-imiev-in-japan/) people-mover, Mitsubishi will be showing another baker's dozen of new vehicles in its display at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/tokyo-motor-show/) next month. On display will be several production cars as well as two brand new concepts based on the i-MiEV powertrain, including the i-MiEV Cargo seen here.

Looking something like a larger, more modern Nissan S-Cargo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_S-Cargo), it's a smaller option for folks who might not need something as big as a Ford Transit Connect. Whether for small business duty or family recreation, the Cargo adds a big box of usefulness to the basic MiEV platform. And yet it's very funky, like a Citröen C15 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_C15) for Mars. It's cute and functional and we can't see any good reason why Mitsu shouldn't build it. There's a rather short presser after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/30/tokyo-preview-mitsubishi-i-miev-ready-to-move-your-green-cargo/) and a gallery of high-res pics for you to peruse below as well.
