Mitsubishi to Unleash New Small Car Concept in Geneva
Mitsubishi will give the global premiere of the Mitsubishi Global Small vehicle at the 81st Geneva International Motor Show in March 2011. The Mitsubishi Concept Global Small is the concept model of the compact passenger vehicle which is planned for production in March of 2012 at the MMC’s new 3rd factory in Thailand. The features of the Mitsubishi Concept Global Small comprise fine manoeuvrability and easy operation, inherent features of a compact car, accomplished in to a highly resourceful package that can comfortably settle five adults.. In addition, the Mitsubishi Concept Global Small achieves top-of-class fuel efficiency, with CO2 emissions in the mid-90g/km range due to:
*Usage of an idling stop mechanism
*A 1.0 – 1.2L class compact engine equipped with a regenerative braking system
*Weight trimming to the most complex parts
*Reduced running resistance in the engine, new-generation CVT, brakes, and tyres
*A body shape that greatly reduces aerodynamic resistance.
Mitsubishi will display a total of 12 vehicles (6 during press days), including vehicles already on sale in Europe, in addition to the 100% electric i-MiEV.
