The all-new model features four drive modes including the Wet mode — a first on a Mitsubishi model — for safe, comfortable driving with peace of mind in various weather or road conditions.

First planned for launch in the ASEAN region, a core market for Mitsubishi Motors, the all-new compact SUV is based on the concept “Best-suited buddy for an exciting life.” The all-new model uplifts the owner’s everyday life with its stylish yet robust, authentic SUV styling, as well as practicality balancing versatile storage spaces in a maneuverable, compact body size; comfort including a spacious cabin; and road handling that allows safe, secure driving in a variety of weather or road surfaces.

In terms of road performance, Mitsubishi Motors took into account how compact SUVs are used in the ASEAN region. The all-new compact SUV ensures a class-topping ground clearance of 222 mm for peace of mind even when handling rough roads. In addition, four drive modes — Normal, Wet, Gravel and Mud — can be selected according to the road condition, and the Wet mode makes it less likely to lose control of the steering wheel and allows for worry-free driving even on roads flooded by sudden showers. The four drive modes enable the vehicle to handle various road conditions through integrated control of the Active Yaw Control (AYC), which improves cornering performance by adjusting the braking force on the front wheels; traction control, which prevents skidding of the tires; engine output; and steering feel.

Equipped for the first time in this all-new compact SUV, the Dynamic Sound Yamaha Premium sound system was also developed to answer the needs of customers in the ASEAN region. By cooperating with Yamaha — experienced in the development musical instruments and audio equipment as well as acoustic design of halls and theaters — the inside of the vehicle that serves as the listening room attains optimal sound quality improvement to bring out the full potential of the speakers. The system adjusts not only the volume but also the sound quality itself according to the speed of the car, delivering equally lively bass and clear mid and high tones whether stopped or driving on a rough surface.

”In developing the all-new compact SUV, we improved road performance through repeated testing in Japan on a course that mirrored the road conditions of the ASEAN region, as well as thorough, extensive road testing in the region itself,” said Masahiro Ito, chief product specialist, Mitsubishi Motors. “We developed the Dynamic Sound Yamaha Premium with special attention to high-quality sound, so that customers who come on board can enjoy an exciting driving experience. This all-new model is full of attractions befitting a Mitsubishi SUV, so please look forward to the launch.”

*August 10 is press day, and the show is open to the public from August 11 to 20.
