The D:X Concept could also pass as an L 300 van if you cleaned out the inside and switched to rear-wheel drive. This is why Mitsubishi decided to combine the comfortable, pleasant and spacious interior of an MPV (Multi-purpose vehicle) with the road holding of an SUV. This study is designed as a PHEV and not as an electric vehicle.
Strict window graphics from the front of the cabin to the robust D-pillar ensure machine-like timelessness and the windshield extends all the way down. The sturdy fender flares and the large off-road wheels were intended to protect the study, which is also protected by front and rear underrun protection plates and side protection strips, even on tough terrain.
View through the front seats
The transparent hood, which extends from the front window glass down to the bottom, shows a combination of information such as road surface conditions up front and the steering angle of the front wheels. An open and wide field of vision is offered, which should enable a calming driving experience.
A voice-interactive AI concierge provides information on routes, weather conditions and other information to ensure a safe and stress-free driving experience.
The design concept of the “Dynamic Shield” at the front is intended to exude safety. But even more exciting are the projection laser lights in the striking T-shaped lights. The vertical ones on the side illuminate the very edge of the road, creating a “lane” for the Delica and helping on narrow streets at night.
Extremely airy interior
The spacious monobox interior offers enough space for all occupants and would also provide plenty of space for goods. Panoramic seats, as well as a large front window and a transparent hood that offer an open, wide field of vision, create an airy cockpit and offer a driving experience as if you were floating in air – similar to a crane operator in his cabin.
During breaks, the front seats can be rotated backwards to create an interior space where all occupants can enjoy conversation.
Designed to create a premium feel is the brown genuine leather used for the dashboard and seats, while Alumite Gray metal parts are used as accents to convey a feel of high-quality equipment.
A new sound system developed with Yamaha Corporation is designed to deliver powerful, three-dimensional sound. Numerous speakers are placed in the headrests and other suitable positions, this is intended to provide an incomparable feeling of immersion in the spacious interior.
Solid framework
The pillar components, including the robust D-pillar, are interwoven with a reinforced “rib bone frame” with a rounded frame structure to create a strong passenger cell.
The integrated vehicle dynamics control system S-AWC appears less innovative. It is a plug-in that uses an electric 4WD system to utilize power primarily for off-road applications.
