Mitsubishi Concept GC-PHEV to premiere in Tokyo

Mitsubishi is set to unveil three concept vehicles at the Tokyo Motor Show next month, and the debutants will be led by the Concept GC-PHEV, which will preview a next-generation, full-size SUV from the automaker, which will likely be the new Pajero.

The Concept Grand Cruiser, as it’s known as, will feature a high output plug-in hybrid electric vehicle system as well as the company’s S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) integrated vehicle dynamic control system. Also to be found on the all-terrain design study is a host of wireless-based next-gen preventive safety and driver support technologies.

It’ll be joined by the Concept XR-PHEV, otherwise known as the Crossover Runner, which is another PHEV-based SUV take, but one dressed in a more compact form and with a body style resembling that of a sports coupe – we might be looking at the new ASX in this case.

Then, there’s the Concept AR – the Active Runabout is a next-generation compact MPV which Mitsu says offers both the mobility of an SUV and the occupant space of an MPV. The vehicle, which is likely to preview the next-gen Grandis, is also set to showcase a downsized direct-injection turbocharged engine. More on the trio as it gets closer to Tokyo.

    What the heck is going on with Mitsubishi these days? Where are the Mitsu sport sedan and hot hatch? Mitsu keeps churning out nice design concepts which unfortunately just focusing on SUVs & Pick Ups. We know Mitsu is not one of the Big Three in terms of sales but look at Mazda progress today..

      It’s difficult to say bro, just look at the latest Mitsu car model namely Colt/Attrage, which are very much mundane efforts from Mitsu.Seems like the MMC’s Management/bean counters are too overly cautious when it comes to developing new models.Considering that Mazda was in the same league as MMC 10-15 years ago and now Mazda is challenging Japan’s Big Three & Europe with a much wider models range, and when you compare to Mitsu..That’s a shame..
