Mitsubishi Concept-cX

Set to debut at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, this is Mitsubishi’s Concept-cX. It is what Mitsubishi calls an accessible, affordable, sustainable and realistic solution to today’s pressing issues.

Not only satisfying the public’s crave for sporty crossovers, it is also green as it uses a next generation 1.8 liter Clean Diesel engine mated to an automated manual transmission – perhaps the Twin Clutch SST? Even the interior trim is environmentally friendly, using “Green Plastics”, a proprietary plant-based resin technology.

The Concept-cX will also serve as a preview of Mitsubishi’s next generation family of powertains to first debut in 2009, which will include turbodiesel engines that feature variable geometry diffuser turbochargers… which I think is the same a Variable Geometry Turbocharger.

    New Lancer crossover. Do you realize Mitsubishi is launching the new lancer as ‘new sedan’ just like what his half brother (Proton) is doing at the same time ‘new sedan’. :-)

    Why the ‘new sedan’?

    The new Mitsu is actually quite new. Its only been around in international markets for less than a year…

    True that. I think I’ve seen a few designs with a similar look also. But it looks good though. Hope it looks good on the road as well. Some cars look good in showrooms but turned out to be less so on the road.

    This whole new theme is from Walter De Silva no doubt. from that Audi Nuvolari design concept.

    I hope this will make it into production and give the RAV4 a run for its money. The new RAV4 has grown too much. I still like the previous gen.
