Mitsubishi unveils e-Evolution concept

The e-Evolution concept is an all-electric high-performance SUV that embodies the “Drive your Ambition” brand strategy.
The Mitsubishi e-Evolution concept is a technical prototype illustrating the strategic direction of a renewed Mitsubishi Motor Corporation (MMC) brand that reflects an adventurous and progressive mind-set. The new concept incorporates the strengths of SUV, EV and the ability to integrate new systems for a connected mobility customer experience.

Under this new ethos, MMC will accelerate product renewal and launch more new models – including Southern Africa where the Eclipse Cross compact crossover will make its local debut sometime next year.

With the launch of the Mitsubishi e-Evolution concept, Mitsubishi illustrated its new design philosophy under the title “Robust & Ingenious”.

Robust & ingenious, the design language of the Mitsubishi e-Evolution concept, is a study in contrasts. MMC vehicles of the future are meant to be sincere, tough, and functional. At the same time, they will be clever, resourceful, style-setting and technologically advanced.

The front face design is a fresh take on MMC’s dynamic shield design. The black grille is shielded under glass, a subtle hint that this car is a high performance electric vehicle. Cameras and sensors are protected under the glass and accentuated by blue lines for emphasis. Large air intakes beneath the headlamps cool the electric brake callipers.

A sharply slanted front windshield and short overhangs give the Mitsubishi e-Evolution concept a unique side profile that has not been possible before the arrival of electric propulsion. High ground clearance, short overhangs, strong shoulders and narrow hips project nimbleness and agility. Muscular tires that protrude at the four corners communicate powerful 4WD torque.

The Mitsubishi e-Evolution concept is powered by three torqueful electric motors, and the absence of a big internal combustion engine under the hood gave designers space for a radically novel cockpit. Its instrument panel appears to float in front of the driver. Acting like a level in an electronic viewfinder, the instrument panel makes it easier to sense the state of the vehicle during driving.

The Mitsubishi e-Evolution concept uses three high-performance electric motors, fed by a high-capacity battery system to deliver the smooth and powerfully responsive performance that distinguishes EVs from fossil fuel powered vehicles. The drive battery is located under the floor in the middle of the vehicle for a low centre of gravity and utmost stability.

The Mitsubishi e-Evolution concept’s brain is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that augments the driver’s capabilities. An array of sensors allows the system to instantly read changes in road and traffic conditions, as well as the driver’s intent. Seamlessly coordinating driver intent with vehicle performance, the system supports drivers of all abilities, bringing the motoring experience to a new level. - Quickpic.co.za
