Mitsubishi set for 3 launches at the Tokyo Motor Show

Mitsubishi will unveil three world premiere concept vehicles at the 43rd Tokyo Motor Show 2013. Incorporating a new design identity that symbolises the sense of security and functionality of an SUV, the three models highlight Mitsubishi Motors innovative engineering that embody the concepts of environmental responsibility, driving pleasure, toughness and safety.

The first of the three concepts, the Mitsubishi Concept GC-PHEV is a next-generation full-size SUV that uses a high output plug-in hybrid electric vehicle system. Mitsubishi will also give the Concept GC-PHEV its S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) integrated vehicle dynamic control system that delivers superior handling, stability as well as the all-terrain capability an SUV offers.

The next of the three is the Concept XR-PHEV which is a next-generation compact SUV loaded with a lightweight and highly efficient PHEV system. Mitsubishi promises that the XR will offer nimble drivability and a body style resembling a sport coupe.

The final of the lot is the Concept AR which is a next-generation compact MPV that offers both the mobility of an SUV and the occupant space of an MPV. The Concept AR uses a down-sized direct-injection turbocharged engine.

The Tokyo Motor Show starts on 22nd of November and we'll keep you updated about what the other manufacturers bring to the table.
