The first of them , the GC- PHEV ( to your wishes! ) Is a large SUV using a rechargeable hybrid engine . Mitsubishi presents it as a "connected" with technologies and preventive safety and driving aids new generation vehicle. The GC-PHEV (GC Grand Cruiser) should foreshadow replacing the Pajero (including the current generation begins to seriously acknowledge the weight of years ) .
The second concept of the series, XR- PHEV ( for X ( cross ) over Runner ) , is a compact SUV, also equipped with plug-in hybrid technology. Mitsubishi promises " agility and a silhouette worthy of a sports coupe " , no less! It foreshadows the likely descendant of the ASX .
Finally, the AR concept ( for Active Runabout ) is a compact MPV incorporating a typed style SUV (and probably a ground clearance ) . Mitsubishi has chosen to play his card manufacturer , off-road to the end, including its future MPV. No plug-in hybrid on it , the AR Concept is equipped with a turbocharged engine with direct injection of small displacement .
If the first images released today as a teaser are seriously envy, it will still remain cautious on the final rendering of these three concepts , Mitsubishi has accustomed us to a few disappointments lately, between tantalizing teasers and concepts ultimately less fun once in the spotlight.
