Mitsubishi will unveil the global debut of the Concept XR-PHEV II at the 85th Geneva International Motor Show.
The Concept XR-PHEV II is a small SUV concept expected to be the brand’s second PHEV following the Outlander PHEV launched in the UK in April, 2014. The new PHEV system is a lightweight, compact and high-efficiency front-engine/front-drive system ideal for an urban crossover. It is estimated to achieve very low CO2 emissions of below 40 g/km, among the lowest of any PHEV, while also delivering gutsy and smooth performance with excellent response with its 163 hp electric motor.
The concept reflects Mitsubishi’s focus on electric vehicles in its approach to environmental technologies and is currently developing PHEV systems best suited to each model in its lineup with a view to introducing them in the near future.
