It missed the Tokyo Motor Show, but the wraps will finally come off Mitsubishi's critical new offroader early next year.
In an effort to deflect some of the flak for the Tokyo no-show, Mitsubishi has now released a sketch of its newcomer ahead of its Geneva Motor Show debut in March.
As the sketch reveals, the production version gets the same ‘jet fighter’ front end now rolling out across the brand in the Lancer and new Outlander. The car will be heavily based on the cX concept, except the rear end has be redesigned to allow a bigger luggage area.
The twin-piece tailgate from the showcar - shared with the Outlander - has been replaced by a one-piece hatch. The cX, which will have a new global name for Geneva, is tipped to arrive here late next year with pricing around $25,000 for the 2.0-litre petrol model.
A 1.8-litre direct injection turbo is also in the pipeline.
