Tokyo – Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) will be showing a total of 15 vehicles (12 on Press Day 1) at the 42^nd Tokyo Motor Show, held at the Tokyo Big Sight convention centre in Tokyo from November 30 through to December 11 (open to the public from December 3).

Two cars will make their world premiere at the show: the Mirage and the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV II. They respectively embody two major pillars to the company’s product strategy outlined in the JUMP 2013 mid-term business plan: global strategic models focused on emerging markets and models featuring “green technology”. The Mirage compact car embodies the global model strategy while the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV II SUV features “green technology” with its unique plug-in hybrid drivetrain.

Also at the Mitsubishi Motors booth will be the MINICAB-MiEV light commercial electric vehicle, due to be released in the Japanese market in December this year and the i-MiEV new-generation electric vehicle (EV) which is currently on sale in countries all over the world including European countries, Australia and is to be rolled out in the United States by the end of this year.

Alongside these will be theRVR compact SUV (ASX or Outlander Sport in some markets) powered by a new MIVEC¹ engine that incorporates MMC’s Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) idle-stop technology, and the Pajero (Montero or Shogun in some markets) SUV powered by a “clean diesel” engine.

The Mitsubishi Motors booth will also feature the MiEV House, a concept of a “smart house” that tackles energy and global warming by managing energy usage between the home itself, “smart appliances,” EVs/plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV), and “smart grids” all at the same time through HEMS (Home Energy Management System) and MMC’s own EIS (Electric Vehicle Integration System).

HEMS makes life more comfortable for people living in homes installed with it by continually monitoring power available to power being used and optimizing both so that effects of energy shortages and energy costs can be reduced. Connected to a “smart home” with HEMS, EIS constantly monitors EV/PHEV battery usage and efficiency (which varies on how the EV/PHEV is driven), feeds this information to HEMS, which then optimizes charging from the house so that the EV/PHEValways has enough energy in it.

In addition to the MiEV House will be the MiEV Café, a relaxation space powered by the battery of an electric vehicle parked right beside it. The electric vehicle will power the MiEV Café through a new heavy-duty power supply device, also on display, that enables the supply of up to 1500W from EV and PHEV batteries. The heavy-duty power supply device is to go on sale in Japan within this fiscal year.

Outline of World Premieres

1. Mirage
The Mirage’s² design focused on compactness, affordability, and high fuel efficiency in order to fit the needs of emerging markets as an affordable entry-level model as well as needs of advanced markets for fuel efficiency and low-CO₂emission. In addition, the Mirage features good maneuverability and easy drivabilityinherent to a compact car while also providing a comfortable interior space for five adults.

MMC has targeted top-of-class fuel efficiency (Japan market version) of 30km perlitre through a variety of measures including painstaking reduction in weight throughout almost every part of the car, reduction in rolling resistance and higher efficiency through detailed improvements to the engine, transmission, brakes andtyres, and an aerodynamic body that reduces air resistance and drag. The new Mirage is due to go on sale first in Thailand in March 2012.

Mirage specifications (Japan market version)

2: Stems from the English word “mirage.” The name was first used for the Mirage series developed for resource/energy/space-saving and high-performance in a compact package which debuted in Japan in March 1978. The new Mirage concept inherits the essence of that first series: cleverly getting the most performance and function out of a limited space.

2. Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV II

MMC has been focusing its EV technology in the Japanese minicar class. MMCbecame the first major automobile manufacturer to bring a mass-produced electric vehicle to market when it rolled out the i-MiEV next-generation EV in 2009.

The company will introduce its second mass-produced EV—the MINICAB-MiEVminicar-class light commercial EV—in December this year. These models are very popular as city commuters – vehicles used for transporting small groups of passengers over short distances in urban areas.

Not anymore. The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV II is Mitsubishi Motors’ idea for a mid-size plug-in hybrid PHEV model that offers a long cruising range demanded by mid-size and larger vehicles.

The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV II contains a state-of-the-art drivetrain derived from MMC’s already existing EV technology that delivers the environmental performance and quietness inherent to an EV in an SUV package that provides more comfortable motoring and allows for higher utility outside of a city commuter.

The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV II, with its high environmental performance and fuel efficiency, effectively extinguishes many negative perceptions of SUVs. MMC’sunique plug-in hybrid system fuses EV technology derived from the i-MiEV with a small conventional engine that features MMC’s latest fuel and environmental efficiency technologies. This combination provides not only a combined fuel efficiency³ of more than 60km per litre, far superior than that of a conventional engine-driven car, but also very high levels of environmental performance while maintaining a cruising range on a par with conventional engine-driven vehicles (over 800 km).

MMC’s plug-in hybrid system uses high-capacity batteries that allow the vehicle to cover over 50 km in all-electric mode alone, allowing it to be driven solely as an EVfor most everyday situations. Depending on power consumption and remaining battery charge, the system will start the engine automatically as a generator and the engine can also be used to help drive the wheels as necessary.

In addition, with the push of a button, the driver has the freedom to select Battery Drive Mode when he/she wishes to drive quietly and emissions-free (at sufficient battery levels) in residential areas or the countryside using pure EV power. At the same time, the driver can also switch to Battery Charge Mode while on the move, controlling use of battery power and using the engine as a generator to charge the batteries.

A socket fitted to the vehicle allows the electricity stored in the drive batteries to be used to power electric appliances when camping or in other outdoor pursuits, or to provide an emergency power source. In addition, the quick-charge port is vehicle-to-home (V2H) compatible.

Another feature of the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV II, apart from its outstanding environmental performance, is its drivetrain which uses a newly developed twin-motor four-wheel-drivesystem mated to Mitsubishi’s S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control) advanced traction control system. Based on the four-wheel-drive technology developed and honed in the Lancer Evolution X models, S-AWC delivers pure driving pleasure by maneuvering effortlessly to the driver’s will while maintaining high levels of stability and safety.

In addition to superior handling, the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV II provides 100 per cent instant off-the-line torque inherent to electric motors, giving it acceleration comparable to that of a 3.0-litre V6 engine. The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV II takes environmentally-friendly vehicles to a new level with its unique blend of fuel and environmental efficiency, performance, and utility.

Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) welcomes the arrival of the 2012 model year Triton utility line-up with the introduction of two new models; the 4×2 GLX-R Double Cab and the 4×4 GL-R Club Cab.

The 2012 Triton offers a high powered turbo-diesel engine with class leading power, a range of safety features and the addition of numerous specification and styling upgrades to offer the most versatile and feature-packed Triton line-up yet.

MMAL president and CEO, Genichiro Nishina, is proud to roll out the 2012 Triton range, and is confident that sales for the versatile and tough utility will continue to grow with the release of the two new models.

“The Triton range caters for every customer, whether they need a rugged workhorse, a comfortable family vehicle or a combination of both,” Nishina said.

The 4×2 GLX-R Double Cab is based on its 4×4 counterpart. With three-tonne towing capacity, auto air-conditioning and USB port, the new model is perfect for customers who need a hardworking vehicle without four-wheel drive capabilities.

The second new model to join the Triton 2012 line-up, 4×4 GL-R Club Cab, is based on the model year 2012 GLX. The cabin features a leather steering wheel and gear shifter and the inclusion of floor carpet to give a comfortable feel. The Triton’s functionality and lines have been enhanced with the addition of a rear step bumper, side steps, stylish front bumper, 16-inch alloys and a sports bar.

Across the Triton 4×2 variants there have been a number of specification and styling upgrades, starting with the entry-level GL Single Cab and GLX Single Cab models which both gain sports seats with vinyl flooring, floor console with lid and the ability to adjust the height of the driver’s seat. In addition, ABS with EBD is now standard on the GL model while the GLX now comes with Active Stability and Traction Control.

Safety has been improved on the 4×2 GLX Double Cab Diesel with the addition of Active Stability and Traction Control as standard. This model, along with the 4×2 GL-R Double Cab, gain a rear centre three point seat belt and head restraint plus centre arm rest with cup holder. The GL-R also gets an updated front bumper and grille to refresh the exterior.

The entry-level 4×4 Triton GLX Single Cab’s cabin has been upgraded to include sport seats with vinyl flooring, floor console with lid and driver’s seat height adjustment. Externally, the GLX gets 16-inch steel wheels and front fender flares while safety is improved through the inclusion of Active Stability and Traction Control as standard.

The next model up, the hard-working 4×4 GLX Club Cab, is now tougher than ever with towing capacity increased to three tonnes and the inclusion of ASTC as standard. The exterior also receives an update thanks to wider 16-inch steel wheels and tyres as well as front and rear fender flares.

The 4×4 Triton’s 2.5-litre engine with 131 kW of power at 4,000 rpm and 400 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm delivers combined fuel economy figures of between 8.0 to 8.3L/100km, depending on the model. Automatic variants generate a similar amount of power, 350Nm of torque, and achieve a combined fuel economy figure of between 9.3 – 9.6L/100km, depending on model.

The two-wheel drive 2012 Triton GL retains the popular 2.4-litre petrol engine while the GLX, GL-R and GLX-R are available with the economical 2.5-litre diesel engine. The petrol engine generates 94kW of power @ 5250 rpm and 194 Nm of torque @ 4000 rpm, offers economical fuel consumption figures of 10.9 litres per 100 km and is coupled with a five-speed manual transmission. The diesel engine generates 100 kW @ 3800 rpm and 314 Nm @ 2,000 rpm, and returns economy figures of 8.2- (manual) and 8.6- (automatic) litres per 100 kilometres.

Mitsubishi’s All Terrain Technology (MATT) is standard on all GLX-R models, and features the acclaimed Super Select four-wheel drive system, which includes ASTC, ABS, Electronic Brake Force Distribution and an optional Diff Lock.

All 2012 Tritons have standard driver and front passenger SRS airbags, front and rear door impact bars, front seatbelt pre-tensioners and child restraint points.

The 2012 Triton model range presents customer’s with flexibility, with five two-wheel drive models and six four-wheel drive models, catering for all requirements.

“Mitsubishi offers a utility vehicle that really does have the lot. Powerful and tough enough to get through a work day while still being stylish, efficient and comfortable enough to get around town, the Triton line-up is versatile and functional,” Nishina said.

Mitsubishi’s all-electric i-MiEV city car is now on sale to the Australian public. The model year 2012 i-MiEV combines performance and comfort with the latest electric vehicle technology to provide a sustainable transport solution now and in the future.

The i-MiEV, which stands for Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle, first arrived in Australia in July last year, when 110 were leased to local, state and federal governments and selected innovative organisations.

The i-MiEV went on sale to individuals in September this year, making it the first volume-produced, fully electric vehicle for sale in Australia. MMAL’s president and CEO, Genichiro Nishina, said the recommended retail price of $48,800 gives Australian consumers the opportunity to own the latest EV technology while reducing their carbon footprint at an affordable price.

The MY12 i-MiEVincludes additional features over the previous model, boosting the vehicle’s occupant safety and comfort levels.

With a four-star ANCAP safety rating, the i-MiEV offers comprehensive safety features including driver, front passenger, side and curtain SRS airbags. The addition of Electronic Stability Control to the previous model’s Active Stability and Traction Control and braking system helps the i-MiEV maintain traction on slippery or rugged surfaces and ensures stability and prevents loss of control when cornering.

The In-Cable Charging Circuit Interrupt Device provides an extra safety precaution when recharging andthe vehicle is secured by the MiEV OS (MiEV Operating System), an advanced integrated vehicle management system that will instantly shut down all high voltage electric system should an impact occur.

The European-styled MY12 i-MiEV’s exterior features a large rear bumper which adds a stylish finish and complements the vehicle’s smooth lines. Rear passenger privacy glass provides enhanced occupant comfort and the heated driver’s seat is the ultimate luxury in cooler climates. Auto lighting control, multimode keyless entry and front and rear power windows complete the overall i-MiEV experience.

The i-MiEV’s spacious interior comfortably seats four and offers a host of features including leather wrapped steering wheel, air-conditioning, AM/FM radio and CD tuner, MP3 compatibility and Bluetooth hands-free phone operation.

Customers looking for extra convenience can choose to add the optional AVN package which includes DVD-Video, a seven inch wide-screen monitor, navigation, GPS traffic updates and built-in Bluetooth wireless technology. The optional AVN package has a recommended retail price of $2000.

Mr Nishina said there had been strong interest from the public since the i-MiEV officially went on sale.

“Considering that about 95 per cent of commuters in urban Australia travel less than 100 kilometres per day, the i-MiEV is perfect for environmentally-aware city commuters, who want a stylish, zippy vehicle. We are pleased with the level of enquires we have received from customers wanting to test drive or find out more about the i-MiEV,” Nishina said.
The i-MiEV is available in six colours; White, Black, Cool Silver, Ocean Blue, Raspberry Red and Titanium Grey.

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is available from selected Mitsubishi dealers in all capital cities.
Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited recommends that the i-MiEV electric vehicle always be charged using renewable or green energy.
