Mitsubishi Concept-cX


Mitsubishi will unveil the Concept-cX 'compact crossover' at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. The new concept aims to illustrate the ideal balance between environmental and everyday practical performance.

The compact crossover concept offers a number of proposals for better utility and road performance. Its high, SUV-like seating position benefits visability, while the compact (4100mm) body facilitates maneuvering around town. There is also a familiar split tailgate to make loading and unloading items easier.

Inside, the Concept-cX is brimming with environmental technologies, featuring extensive use of interior trim materials made from Mitsubishi's own Green Plastic (a combination of bamboo and other plant-based resins).

The Concept-cX employs Mitsubishi's new 1.8-liter clean diesel turbocharged engine, claimed to offer high power and efficiency. A new Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission) feeds power to an electronically controlled 4WD system.
