Mitsubishi shows off new electrified crossover concept

(March 10, 2019) TOKYO — Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) held the global debut of the Mitsubishi Engelberg Tourer next-generation crossover SUV concept at the 89th Geneva International Motor Show. Embodying the "Drive your Ambition" corporate tagline, the Mitsubishi Engleberg Tourer uses MMC’s established and advanced electrification and all-wheel control technologies to raise SUV appeal to a new level.

MMC also gave demonstrations of the DENDO DRIVE HOUSE (DDH) System at the show. DDH is a new energy ecosystem which allows owners of electric vehicles to generate, store and share energy automatically between their car and home, further enhancing the value of electric vehicles.



DDH is a V2H based system which will be offered to customers at Mitsubishi dealerships when buying a battery-electric (EV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). MMC plans to start offering the service initially in Japan and Europe later this year.

Engelberg is a well-known ski resort in the Central region of Switzerland that offers grand panoramic vistas and is known for its challenging off-piste runs that offer freestyle and free riding fun for skiers and snowboarders.

Mitsubishi says the Mitsubishi Engelberg Tourer is a Twin Motor 4WD plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV). As befits the Engleberg Tourer name, the vehicle offers high levels of running performance that allow the driver to enjoy driving in all weather conditions and on any road surface with confidence. The vehicle’s driving performance, paired with the long cruising range inherent to a PHEV, allows for journeys to places with no charging infrastructure.

The innovative interior packaging offers both passenger capacity and ample storage space, which ensures a satisfying drive for passengers on the way to their destination. The Engelberg Tourer stirs driver and occupants’ curiosity, and sense of adventure, as they seek to go further and take a step beyond anything they have experienced before.

The Mitsubishi Engelberg Tourer, as its name suggests, has been designed as an elegant and functional well-rounded crossover SUV.

Mitsubishi has crafted a design that offers the unique “Mitsubishiness” the brand is known for. The bold body styling speaks to the vehicle’s power and reliability that allows it to navigate on and off the road with confidence. The spacious interior offers generous cabin space, and high levels of quality and functionality.

Fog lamps fitted to an auto-open/close roof box and front/rear bumper under guards ensure the Engelberg Tourer is both styled and well-equipped for an active lifestyle.
