Already getting ready for next spring’s Geneva Motor Show, Mitsubishi has release a sketch of the all-new Compact Crossover that will be introduced soon in time to go on sale in Japan in February. While details are scarce, Mitsubishi says that the all-new on-road Compact Crossover will follow the i-MiEV and be “the Corporation’s next game changer towards lower impact vehicles, in their format and/or in the innovative MMC proprietary technologies they will feature.” From previous reports, this should mean a 1.8 liter clean turbodiesel engine with diesel particulate filter will power the production version.
We await further details, but it sounds like this evolution of the Concept-cX from the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show makes good on the company’s promise to move Mitsubishi’s line-up in the eco direction. Mitsubishi says it wants to get away from the SUV-centered focus that its had in the recent past and into being knows as “a manufacturer of environment-friendly passenger cars & crossovers.” Guess they can get in line.
