Mitsubishi has gone through a trance at least hard. The brand with the three diamonds has been a bit lost for a few years and thanks to the help that Nissan and the Alliance with its partner Renault gave it at the time, they are improving. And the proof of this we have in the development of products such as the new ASX or Colt of new generation. True, they are not their own designs because they are highlighted from the Captur and Clio but deep down they are very, very important.
In case you forgot Mitsubishi was about to leave Europe. Shortly after they changed the plan and announced that they would stay in Europe but with one condition. And they would do it with the help of Renault, since the Gauls would make some models like the new ASX or Colt. All in all, the last great novelty that comes from the house of the three diamonds is that The new Outlander PHEV will arrive in Europe in 2024. But there is still more ...
Mitsubishi is already preparing an electric pick-up and two electric models, extra unpublished, together with the Alliance...
Not long ago they showed the world their new plan «Challenge 2025» focused on the next three years. This is a decision that is less curious, since a brand usually presents plans more in the medium term and not so close. The point is that in this case Mitsubishi wants to show that it is developing a new range of models designed for all the markets in which it is present. Europe is among them and will go beyond ASX and Colt...
First of all, indicate that this new plan puts the emphasis on hybrids, plug-in hybrids and purely electric vehicles. In fact, Of the 16 new cars that they plan to launch on the market in the next five years, nine of them will be electrified.. Some will be fully electric and others will have an auxiliary system to reduce emissions either partially or totally. Of course, there will be no lack of thermal news either.
If we focus on the slides presented, by 2028 Mitsubishi wants to launch an electric pick up and a 5-seater SUV. But there is more, because we must add others two electric, additional, developed together with its partners Nissan and Renault. We also can't ignore several ICE and hybrid minivans as well as a new hybrid version of the Xpander, the Production XFC ICE or with a kei car designed for your local market: Japan.
In summary: by 2030 Mitsubishi wants half of its sales to be electric vehicles. And his plans, to get there, go through strengthening ties with Nissan and Renault. All in all, we are looking forward to learning about the new models that are being developed and, above all, that they are successful in Europe... So be patient...
