No, only 25 miles.
 
It's a joke.

By selecting the EV mode, drivers can expect about 40 km (25 miles) of range according to the company via a 80 hp (60 kW) electric motor that drives the rear wheels.

It has just one motor in the rear axle, Mitsu has two of the same size.

At leas they have the option of selecting the EV mode,
and are not afraid of reducing performance from 400 to 80hp. :)

This is exactly what Mitsu would do, if it were allowed the pure EV mode.
(But at half the price, and 50%higher range.)

I find that grill a design mistake. It looks like a cross between an Opel Ampera and a 1953 Buick Roadmaster.
