Mitsubishi Concepts Signal Future Sedan, CUV, Electric Car

Mitsubishi is gearing up for October’s Tokyo Motor Show with some advanced looks at three new concepts. One, the I MiEV Sport, is an all-electric concept that is beyond funky looking. The body is made of aluminum to reduce weight, while four electric motors power the wheels. There’s a solar panel on the roof as well, because you can never be too environmentally friendly. We don’t expect this to see the light of day for some time, if ever.

The Concept-ZT, on the other hand, could offer a glimpse of the next Galant full-size sedan here in the states. Its looks are borrowed from the new Lancer, which has seen brisk sales in the U.S. and overseas. The concept version, however, again uses aluminum for the body – too costly to ever make production — and a diesel four-cylinder engine. We’d expect the looks to be saved and everything else to be shelved if this ever goes on sale to the public. 

Finally, Mitsubishi has developed a compact SUV smaller than its current Outlander, dubbed the Concept-cX. Like the ZT, we expect to see something at least this size go on sale in the global market, but probably not in the U.S. Still, Mitsubishi delivers some wild concepts that get people talking. There are more photos below.
