Compared with the Japanese market version, the European-spec i-Miev includes specific features such as a new design to the front and rear bumpers to meet EU regulations, rearranged centre stack in the instrument panel and upgraded interior.

Both active and passive safety have been improved with the addition of active stability control (ASC) as well as side and curtain airbags as standard.
