Mitsubishi Motors Lineup at 30th GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show - Exterior Design of the All-New Compact SUV Previewed Ahead of the World Premiere

 

Tokyo, July 31, 2023 – Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (hereafter, Mitsubishi Motors) will celebrate the global debut of an all-new compact SUV at the 30th GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show1. Ahead of the world premiere, the company revealed the exterior design of the all-new compact SUV. The all-new model will be built at Mitsubishi Motors Krama Yudha Indonesia (Bekasi, West Java)2, with delivery to start in November 2023.

 

At the show, Mitsubishi Motors will also display the eK X EV, an all-electric kei-car³, for the first time outside of Japan, along with the Minicab-MiEV, a onebox kei–car class commercial electric vehicle (EV) that is scheduled for local production in Indonesia. The company will also exhibit models sold in Indonesia, including the Xpander and Xpander Cross crossover MPVs, as well as the Pajero Sport mid-size SUV.

 

Further, the Mitsubishi Motors booth will feature a special area where visitors can experience the new Dynamic Sound Yamaha Premium sound system, which was jointly developed with Yamaha Corporation and will be adopted for the first time in the all-new compact SUV. Inside the all-new model, visitors can enjoy the sound system's characteristic, clear mid and high tones as well as lively bass.

 

"In this all-new model, we have further evolved the design to meet the needs of the compact SUV market, which has been growing in recent years," said Seiji Watanabe, division general manager of design, Mitsubishi Motors. "In addition to the robustness and powerfulness characteristic of Mitsubishi Motors, we have pursued a design that is more stylish, energetic, and distinctive than ever. At the upcoming GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show, we hope that even more customers will discover what Mitsubishi Motors has to offer and empathize with our design through this all-new compact SUV."

 

Design of the All-New Compact SUV (World Premiere)

 

Based on the design concept of Silky & Solid, the stylish yet powerful, authentic SUV design combines elegance and robustness, thereby realizing styling that creates a commanding presence in scenes from ASEAN cities to the great outdoors. The upper part of the body expresses an airy silkiness with a floating roof and a sleek surface that begins from the three-diamond emblem up front and flows along the side to the rear. The lower part of the body adopts the solid and powerful proportions of an SUV – the muscular fender flares express the agility of an athlete, while a top-class ground clearance of 222 mm ⁴ as well as 18-inch wheels and large-diameter tires enhance road handling on rough roads.

 

At the front, the Dynamic Shield front face has been evolved in line with the design concept. Here, the design consisting of left and right bumpers that protect the front grille which symbolizes the performance of the powertrain, is three-dimensionally integrated to create a sporty front face with a sense of depth. The LED daytime running lights combine an L-shape with slitted accents to emit light in an iconic T-shape, making the SUV instantly recognizable as a Mitsubishi model even from a distance, while also emphasizing the wide stance.

 

On the body sides, the rich, muscular surfaces combine with sculpted fender flares and character lines to express the strength and dynamism of the SUV. By adopting the same T-shaped design for the LED tail lights as the front, the rear attains a wide and stable look.

Imponente con effetto ruotine.

 

Martelli di Thor davanti e dietro.

 

Tutto sommato meglio di altre recenti Mitsubishi.

Questa sembra essergli uscita bene (a parte le ruotine), muso iso Volvo EX30 però qui mi piace di più. 

[KimKardashian]

Potevano farla “global”, prezzata bene poteva riscontrate un buon successo come la vecchia ASX

[angelogiulio]

ha anche un non so che di pajero... avrebbe successo qui

[nucarote]

Sembra qualcosa di Nissan adattato a Mitsubishi. Comunque esteticamente parlando non è malaccio.
