Mitsubishi Elevance Concept: Large plug-in hybrid SUV

Mitsubishi introduced the Elevance Concept at the booth with the theme "Forever Adventure". This is a large SUV developed on the plug-in hybrid platform, emphasizing the Dynamic Shield style and a light-filled cabin thanks to the glass ceiling connecting the panoramic sunroof. The company has not announced the transmission specifications or commercialization plans.

Dynamic Shield evolved, muscular shape

The Elevance Concept maintains the Dynamic Shield identity similar to recent models such as the Xforce or Destinator, but with a simplified grille. Instead, the air vents are moved down to the front bumper, combined with a multi-layered lighting layout on both sides to create a neat and modern feel.

The rear end stands out with the brand logo placed in the middle, the LED strip creates an effect running around the entire surface. The rear bumper integrates fog lights and horizontal bars, emphasizing the width. The large rims come with bold wheel arch covers, suggesting off-road capability in the spirit of "Forever Adventure".

Panoramic glass cabin, minimalist layout

The highlight of the Elevance Concept is the wraparound glass roof, seamlessly integrated with the panoramic sunroof. This solution allows the cabin to receive plenty of natural light, creating a futuristic and spacious feel.

Two rows of seats are covered in cream-yellow leather, with quilted cushions and ergonomically designed seats for comfort. The beveled steering wheel has integrated touch-sensitive function keys. The central "saddle" is reduced to a compact platform, housing the twist-type gear lever; the organization suggests a clear and separate armrest area for the driver.

Plug-in hybrid platform, specifications not yet released

Mitsubishi says the Elevance Concept is based on a plug-in hybrid platform. However, technical specifications such as powertrain configuration, battery capacity, power output, or electric range have not been revealed.

According to the orientation shown at the booth, this concept model is likely to use 4 independent electric motors, combined with Mitsubishi's signature super All-wheel Control technology. However, specific technical details and how the internal combustion engine and electric motors are coordinated have not been announced.

Promising experience from structure and design

In terms of use, the large wheels with protective covers and high ground clearance indicate a preference for off-road driving. The panoramic glass roof and light-colored interior create an airy feel, suitable for long journeys. The steering wheel layout, minimalist control cluster and twist-type gear lever make for more intuitive operation when moving in urban areas as well as on highways.
