Η Mitsubishi κατέβηκε με άγριες διαθέσεις στην φετινή έκθεση του Τόκιο και σήμερα μας παρουσίασε τα τρία ολοκαίνουρια concepts για τα οποία μας είχε προετοιμάσει στις αρχές του μήνα.

Με έντονο πράσινο χρώμα που τραβάει τα βλέμματα, πρώτο το AR (Active Runabout). Αυτό είναι το όραμα της Mitsubishi για τα μικρά SUV του μέλλοντος. Οχήματα

που συνδυάζουν την ευελιξία και την «πάω-παντού» νοοτροπία των SUV με την ευρυχωρία των MPV. Κάτω από το καπό είναι ένας turbo βενζινοκινητήρας άμεσου ψεκασμού 1.1 λίτρου που ενώνει τις δυνάμεις του με έναν αποδοτικό ηλεκτροκινητήρα που τροφοδοτείται από μία high-capacity μπαταρία.

Δεύτερο, το περίεργο GC (Grand Cruiser). Αυτό μας δίνει μία ιδέα για το πώς μπορεί να είναι ένα μεγάλο SUV με μόνιμη τετρακίνηση. Κάτω από το καπό βρίσκεται ένας supercharged, τρίλιτρος V6 που συνδυάζεται με 8-τάχυτο αυτόματο κιβώτιο και έναν ηλεκτροκινητήρα.

Τρίτο και τελευταίο, το κόκκινο XR (Cross Runner). Αυτό έχει ακριβώς το ίδιο powertrain με το AR και στην ουσία πρόκειται για μία πρόγευση της επόμενης γενιάς crossover.
