Mitsubishi today introduced a pair of new concepts at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.
The GR-HEV is a Sport Utility Truck (SUT) with a radical design combining the comfort of a sedan with the functionality of a pickup truck. It's also a hybrid vehicle that uses a 2.5L clean diesel engine and an electric motor, along with a Super Select 4WD system offering four driving modes.
Meanwhile, the CA-MiEV foreshadows a new wave of Mitsubishi electric cars. With a range of nearly 300 kilometres, this racy hatchback boasts an 80 kW motor and 28 kWh battery. The remote-controlled management system for charging and discharging can be linked to smartphones or tablet devices. The vehicle is also equipped with a remote tracking function that captures its position using GPS if stolen.
While no plans to put these concepts into production have been announced, look for many ideas to reappear in future Mitsubishi products.
