With the launch of the E-evolution concept, Mitsubishi illustrated its new design philosophy under the title "Robust and Ingenious".
"We aim to provide vehicles that fulfil our customers' desires through outstanding design, combined with the power, authenticity and carefully-considered functionality Mitsubishi Motors is known for," said MMC head of global design, Tsunehiro Kunimoto.
The design language of the Mitsubishi E-evolution concept is a study in contrasts. MMC says 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 of the concept is a fresh take on MMC's archetypal dynamic shield design. The black grille is shielded under glass. 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 it 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 E-evolution concept is powered by three electric motors, and the absence of a big internal combustion engine under the hood gave designers space for a radically novel cockpit. Acting like a level in an electronic viewfinder, the instrument panel makes it easier to sense the state of the vehicle during driving.
