Mitsubishi Is Bringing Its Outlandish Off-Road Van To America
Mitsubishi is about to shake things up in North America. The company has devised a seriously ambitious plan called “Momentum 2030.” We are looking at an invigorated Japanese brand that promises an expanded network of dealerships, a fully electric mystery model, and rugged, off-road-ready minivans.
Minivan Wild Ride
What happens when you let loose Mitsubishi designers? They come with a vision of a future where minivans conquer the great outdoors. If you have ever seen Delica, then you get the idea. The D:X Concept is a rugged interpretation of the iconic 4×4 van, taking the off-road performance to another level.
This futuristic minivan has it all: A powerful plug-in powertrain with enough punch for the most challenging mountain pass to feel like a Walmart run. Chunky tires ready for the deepest snow and muddiest roads. Room for all the gear you may need for camping, rooftop tent, and off-grid capabilities to keep you safe for days.
Not many details are available yet, but Mitsubishi is seriously considering bringing the D:X to the American market. The company is already in talks with Nissan to build an all-electric version using their technology. An eco-friendly road warrior ready for the zombie apocalypse? We’re in!
Expanded Lineup And New Dealerships
It’s not just off-road minivans Mitsubishi is planning. The company wants to double its vehicle lineup by 2030. Apart from the rugged minivan and the mystery electric vehicle, we can expect a beefed-up Outlander with Subaru Outback vibes and a new plug-in hybrid crossover to replace the outgoing Mirage.
Mitsubishi is preparing to spread its dealership network across the U.S. and reach new, untapped territories. The company promises a fresh, modern look for a more enjoyable shopping experience. Nothing like a new showroom to convince us to spend our hard-earned money.
Whether you are a die-hard Mitsubishi fan or simply curious about the automotive future, Mitsubishi’s “Momentum 2030” plan sounds promising. Mark Chaffin, the CEO of Mitsubishi North America, summed it up perfectly: “Mitsubishi Motors is at a pivotal point in North America, charting a bold, clear, and attainable plan for our future success in the United States.” All we really want to know is when the D:X will reach our roads.
