Mitsubishi Teases 3 Concepts For The Tokyo Motor Show

All three cars will preview the brand’s new design language and next generation off-road, performance and safety technologies, in accordance with the @earth philosophy. While we don’t know which car is what, here are the general descriptions.

1. Mitsubishi Concept GC-PHEV (Grand Cruiser) will be a full-size SUV with “genuine off-road” capability and driving dynamics. It will be powered by a high output plug-in hybrid electric motor and would use the Mitsubishi S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control). Could this be the concept that previews the replacement to the Montero?

2. Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV (XR stands for Cross Runner) is a new generation compact SUV that would be powered by a lightweight and “super-efficient” plug-in hybrid electric system. The press release mentions also mentions its “agile driving dynamics” and “sport coupe-like styling”. This could be Mitsubishi’s competitor to the Nissan Juke and Ford EcoSport.

3. Mitsubishi Concept AR (Active Runabout) is a new MPV that would combine the practicality and mobility of an SUV with the interior space of an MPV. Power comes from a small capacity direct-injection turbocharged engine and the interiors are said to be shaped like a “cocoon”.

The Tokyo Motor Show commences for the media on November 20th, which is when these cars would be unveiled.
