"i" features a one-motion form that integrates sporty looks with interior comfort. Exploiting the advantages of the mid-engine platform to the full, "i" combines a roomy interior with a cute exterior in a design that wins hearts and brings spontaneous smiles to the faces of all who see it. The design maximizes harmony between styling, packaging and aerodynamic characteristics to achieve a very slippery drag coefficient of just 0.24. The interior marries "light sizing" with "town sizing" - in other words, makes the most of light and space within the dimensions of an urban compact. The light that floods in through the large windows reaches practically every nook and cranny of the interior. Other elements contributing to this sophisticated "festival of light" atmosphere include the black keynote color, a "hovering" dashboard design and seats made of transparent plastic with a green sheen. Occupying the place of honor in the center of the dashboard is Mitsubishi's Information Key system that symbolizes the car's minimalistic and nimble qualities. In addition to its normal ignition key function, the Information Key is used to control in-car entertainment and navigation systems and to store vehicle operating for dealer servicing. Rather than equip the car with traditional features, the Information Key uses a memory stick that enables the owner to share computer or audio-visual data between home and car and to select functions and information as needed. When the driver inserts the key into the ignition, communication starts with on-board instruments and equipment making them operable. This space-saving system let the designers create an interior that is as light and easy on the eye as to the touch.
