Mitsubishi is eagerly preparing to unveil its newest compact crossover at the upcoming 2023 Indonesia International Auto Show on August 10. While the name is still under wraps, what we do know is that it will be a more subdued version of last year’s XFC Concept, with some interesting tweaks to the exterior design. This means you can expect the familiar styling, now adorned with regular door handles, conventional side mirrors instead of cameras, and toned-down flashy lights.
Under the hood, Mitsubishi plans to equip the vehicle with a 1.5-liter engine, coupled with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. The crossover will boast 18-inch wheels and an outstanding ground clearance of 222 millimeters (8.7 inches), setting a new standard in its segment.
Although the interior remains a well-kept secret, Mitsubishi enthusiasts can look forward to enjoying a bespoke Yamaha sound system. A teaser image earlier hinted at an eye-catching dashboard, featuring a trendy side-by-side screen setup, which has become increasingly popular among automakers these days. For a glimpse into what the production model’s cabin might offer, one can turn to the XFC Concept from last year.
After its much-anticipated debut next week, the compact crossover will head into production at the Mitsubishi Motors Krama Yudha Indonesia facility in Bekasi, West Java, and is expected to be ready for shipment to customers by November. Excitingly, alongside the new crossover, Mitsubishi will also showcase the eK X EV electric kei car at the 2023 Indonesia International Auto Show, marking its first appearance outside Japan.
In summary, Mitsubishi is on the verge of presenting a captivating compact crossover with intriguing design elements and exceptional specifications. As production gears up following the public debut, automotive enthusiasts can eagerly anticipate the opportunity to experience this latest addition to Mitsubishi’s lineup. The inclusion of the eK X EV electric kei car also demonstrates Mitsubishi’s commitment to embracing the future of electric mobility and broadening its horizons in the global automotive arena.
