Mitsubishi released the first teaser image of the Ground Tourer SUV Concept, set to make its debut this fall in Paris.
The company didn’t release any details about their latest concept, which is part of their planned SUV offensive, after the Concept XR PHEV II and eX electric SUV concept.
The new Ground Tourer will preview a mid-sized production SUV with a plug-in hybrid powertrain to replace the aging Outlander, carrying over Mitsubishi’s ‘Dynamic Shield’ design philosophy.
The revealed teaser image reveals a very dynamic profile with a two-tone bodywork and a front end that’s likely to feature big air intakes on the bumper. We already know that the Japanese company is planning to build a B-Segment SUV in 2018, based on the eX concept to rival the likes of the Nissan Juke and a slightly bigger crossover based on the XR PHEV II study to slot between that and the Outlander replacement.
Mitsubishi wants to morph into a niche manufacturer that will specialize in crossovers, throwing a new SUV model into the market between 2018 and 2021, including a new new Shogun/Pajero/Montero as their flagship. Stay tuned for more info.
