Mitsubishi Concept-cX
The exterior design gives a purposeful yet functional form using a dynamic wedge shape and large tires that gives the car it?s aggressive and powerful appearance. The interior employs a modern and sporty design that allows a sense of expectation about the car?s performance and melds this with a high level of comfort. By visually accenting the strength of the underlying frame structure and through the contrasting use of soft padding, the design creates an interior space that wraps its occupants in a protective and comfortable cocoon. Made from Mitsubishi?s own Green Plastic ? made from bamboo and other plant-based resins ? the Concept-cX is sure to please car enthusiasts and environmentalists alike.
At the heart of the concept car is a new high-output, high-efficiency 1.8-liter (quite high for a car of this size but pretty normal if you remember the fact that its an SUV) clean diesel engine, featuring a variable geometry (VG) turbocharger for optimum boost control and a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) with diesel particulate filter (DPF) in the exhaust system for compliance with Europe?s Euro 5 emission standards. The power unit is mated to Mitsubishi?s new Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission) which delivers superior power transmission efficiency in a powertrain that realizes fast performance with an impressive fuel economy and low emissions.
The Concept-cX is due to be revealed in September
