Believe it or not, the automotive sector that we have in Europe is the most boring of all. The Old Continent boasts high-quality and highly technological vehicles, but variety is not its strong point. And if you don't believe this, you don't have to do anything other than look in other markets, such as the US or Asia. Then you will see that we have a big problem: we believe we are the navel of the world and we do not know how to take advantage of all the opportunities...
Yes, and the best proof of this we have in the Mitsubishi Delica Mini. Didn't you know this model? Well, in itself it is one hundred percent new, but the history of Delica goes back to the distant year 1968. In fact, in our region some generations have been sold, but its diffusion was very, very limited. Now with this new "mini" iteration the house of the three diamonds expands its range of vans and it will do so in 2023 to celebrate its 55th anniversary...
The Mitsubishi Delica Mini 2023 will officially debut at the Tokyo Motor Show… and includes hybrid versions in its range…
To announce the official debut of the new Mitsubishi Delica Mini, the brand has published several photos. Perhaps they are not the most appropriate, but they are enough to understand what their plans are. The first fact to take into account is that the debut of the Delica Mini will take place during the next Tokyo Auto Show to be held in 2023. The second, which is a all wheel drive van AWD and is equipped with a hybrid powertrain.
And up to here we can read in terms of official data. With everything, Mitsubishi defines this new model as follows...
"High Rise Light Wagon" what promises to be "small but strong"
This statement of intent can be appreciated by the tone that wears its bodywork. It's called "Ash Green Metallic" and along with some semicircular optics and very powerful frontThey give the feeling of being in front of an SUV. In the side view, the most notable design feature are the "square" wheel arches or some black plastic moldings that also contrast with the roof. Finally, the rear is simple although it stands out for including three of its own elements…
First: the molding including the designation "Delica Mini" and that occupies the entire width of the body. Second: for the design and positioning of the optics. Third: due to the bumper content in relation to the great off road design rear diffuser. In fourth, and last place, due to the generous size of the gate that gives access to the trunk and the height. This is very low, facilitating loading and unloading operations with little effort.
However, the rumors suggest that it is the “van” version of the eK X EV that debuted a few months ago. If so, it will measure 3,39 meters long, 1,47 meters wide and a height that would go from 1,64 to 1,66 meters. The battle would be 2,495 meters and it would move thanks to a 658 cc hybrid three-cylinder gasoline engine with turbo managed by a CVT-type automatic transmission. In any case, it is better to wait, because his debut will take place very soon…
