The entry of the Renault alliance partner Nissan into Mitsubishi at the end of last year could give the current model range of the “diamond brand” a positive boost. While Carlos Ghosn announced at a very early stage what role the Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid Outlander would play in the future, it remained open for now which vehicle concepts from the current Nissan portfolio could also be ideally suited to Mitsubishi. Since the plug-in hybrid Outlander is considered to be the pioneer of the PHEV SUV, it can continue to be the technology donor for PHEV models of the Renault-Nissan Alliance in the future.
Mitsubishi 2019 - four new ones for the brand with the diamonds?
meanwhile, mein-auto-blog has been thinking about which models could play a role quickly and meaningfully for the brand with the three diamonds. Here are the top 4 of future cooperation vehicles.
"The Mitsubishi Sapporo Z"
The Sapporo Z will be a classic sports car. Under his hood a 3.7 liter V6 with good 330 PS, a manual six-speed gearbox and rear-wheel drive with limited slip differential. A sporty diamond for sports drivers and people who enjoy powerful dynamics. Thin A-pillars, a sweeping roofline and a firm butt provide the right proportions
“The Mitsubishi N300”
A practical minibus with the option of a purely electric drive. The Mitsubishi N300 would offer space for up to seven people. And be offered with both a diesel engine and a pure electric drive. A solid bus for the large family or the craftsman. But also a city delivery van with the option of “zero emissions” in local use.
“The Mitsubishi LEaV”
A compact in the golf class with a purely electric drive. This is how the future can come. A successor to the i-MiEV, the first mass-produced electric car. Enough space for 5 occupants, an easy 350 km purely electric range and state-of-the-art infotainment for the occupants.
"The Mitsubishi Lancer STH"
With the distinctive design language of the current Mitsubishi models, introduced with the Eclipse Cross, the Lancer 2018 convinces in its hatchback variant as a powerful sporty compact. New 1.5 liter turbo engines reach 160 PS in everyday life, a Ralliart variant receives a newly designed 2.0 liter 16V turbo with 280 PS, front-wheel drive and newly developed dual clutch. In contrast to the model shown, the GTI killer receives a much wider track and four-wheel steering.
