Mitsubishi unveiled
three world premiere concept cars at the 43rd Tokyo Motor Show 2013. Incorporating
a new design that symbolizes the functionality and reassuring safety inherent
to SUVs, the three concepts take as their theme Mitsubishi's @earth
TECHNOLOGY and point to the direction company's development and
manufacturing will take in the near future.
The Concept GC-PHEV (Grand Cruiser) is a
next-generation full-size SUV with full-time 4WD. It is based on a front
engine, rear-wheel drive layout plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) system comprising a
3.0-liter V6 supercharged MIVEC engine mated to an eight-speed automatic
transmission, with a high-output motor and a high-capacity battery to deliver
all-terrain performance truly worthy of an all-round SUV. The PHEV system
automatically switches operation between pure EV drive and hybrid drive
depending on driving conditions, remaining battery charge and other factors.
