Although there is an image that is very bad fuel economy as represented by F1 as a representative of racing cars, the number of EV (electric drive) racing cars that realize an exciting race while suppressing the adverse effect on the environment is increasing more and more. Mitsubishi Motors also announced the hill climb event "Pikes Peak International Hill Climb"I was challenged with EV racing car, and that vehicle was exhibited at the Tokyo Motor Show.


Despite being streamlined, it is somewhat angular form.


Unlike the steering wheel of the F1 machine with a switch that can not be remembered, the handle itself is simple. However, there are lots of switches around the left and right instrument panel.


The main exhibition is the world premiere (world first show), three PHEV concept cars. This is the next generation large SUV which is also said to be the concept of the next Pajero "Concept GC-PHEV"is. Powerful full styling with a strong metallic appearance and strong sense of extrusion.



The left and right doors are double doors open


Access to the seat with the pillarless structure is overwhelmingly easy


The model around the rear is full of volume



Center console layout that straddles between the left and right seats


The center console top is a display, it seems that you can display various information


I feel Mitsubishi's appearance around various drive modes of "snow" "dart" "tarmac (paved road)".


Subsequently, "The compact SUV that opens the new dimension of running pleasure" was the theme "Concept XR-PHEV". It is a plug-in hybrid car equipped with a 1.1-liter direct injection MIVEC turbo engine and features sporty styling.




By being a show model, the interior could not be seen.



Pretty sharp front light design around


The rear tail lamp is also sprinkling.


And, with the mild hybrid system installed "Concept AR"





New concept / new design Active compact MPV is the theme and it is a model reminiscent of the current Delica.


In addition, GR-HEV which is a hybrid model of pickup truck is also exhibited. It is full size pickup truck and it also has a sense of volume.



This is a plug-in hybrid rally vehicle "Outlander PHEV".






Many hybrid vehicles including PEHV are on display at Mitsubishi booth.
