The electric hybrid concept vehicle which Mitsubishi will reveal at the Paris motor show at the end of September is called a Ground Tourer. This is because the company sees it as a vehicle which can cover huge distances across all types of different ground.
The hybrid system uses three motors and will have a claimed range of 750 miles, so that is a lot of ground to tour between fill-ups/recharging. Electric power alone should be good for about 75 miles. Connective technology should be able to use weather and terrain data to improve fuel consumption and handling by modifying how the vehicle behaves as it gets to known
scenarios.
The styling is led by that ‘dynamic shield’ front end and looks assertive and futuristic in the images we’ve seen so far. Inside it’s trimmed in dark red leather, which colour co-ordinates with the roof.
Mitsubishi calls this four-wheel drive vehicle ‘a high-end next-generation SUV’.
