Mitsubishi Compact Crossover - Click above for high-res image

It’s been two years since Mitsubishi took the wraps off its Concept-cX crossover at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, but before we see the production version at next year’s Geneva Motor Show, Mitsubishi has released a teaser sketch of its all-new compact CUV.

Aimed at competing with segment stalwarts like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, the Compact Crossover will be built atop Mitsubishi’s new mid-size global architecture with power likely provided by a 1.8-liter turbodiesel channeling around 140 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque through Mitsubishi’s Twin-Clutch SST gearbox and all-wheel drive system.

Sales will begin in Japan this February, and we’d expect a petrol-powered version to be released in the States later in 2010. Full details available in the press release below the fold.
