三菱近日发布了Concept XR-PHEV II概念车图片,该车将在日内瓦车展首次亮相。这款车长4490毫米，宽1890毫米，高1620毫米，轴距2670毫米，这是继欧蓝德插电混动车之后第二款同类车的概念版车型。其实该车并非全新车型，而是最初在2013年东京车展发布的XR-PHEV概念车的进化版。第一眼看上去，新车外观上的改变并不明显。仔细看会发现前格栅底部采用梯形结构，两侧是镀铬边框进气口。此外，前大灯造型和轮圈也与原来车型略有不同，格栅上部进行了改款，车门设置了摄像头。更大变化是在车尾，似乎是在刻意模仿改款前脸造型。这款前驱插电混动车搭载普通引擎和新开发的163马力电机/发电机及12千瓦时电池，所有硬件都设置在车头。这款城市跨界车在保持高功率和高扭矩情况下，每公里二氧化碳排放量低于40克。这款车还可根据行驶条件和电池电量水平自动从纯电动行驶模式转变成串联混动或并联混动模式。驾驶员也可手动选择节省电量或为电池充电模式。

 

Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV II previewed prior to Geneva reveal

Mitsubishi has released a render with the Concept XR-PHEV II set to debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show.

 

This isn't actually an all-new concept as it represents an evolution of the original XR-PHEV concept unveiled in November 2013 at the Tokyo Motor Show. The design differences are not very visible at a first glance but upon closer inspection you will notice the lower front grill now has a trapezoidal shape and is flanked by air vents with chrome gills. The concept has also gained slightly different headlights and wheels, revised upper grille and also boasts door-mounted cameras. More significant changes have occurred at the back which now appears to mimic the revised front fascia.

 

The front-wheel drive plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) mixes up a conventional combustion engine with a newly developed 163 HP electric motor/generator and a 12 kWh battery - with all the hardware installed at the front. This setup grants the "urban crossover" with "high power and high torque" while remaining very frugal as CO2 emissions stand at less than 40 g/km. 

 

The Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV II can automatically switch from an all-electric mode to series hybrid or parallel hybrid depending on driving conditions and battery level. The driver can also manually select the driving mode by opting for either Battery Save or Battery Charge. 

 

The four-seater concept is 4490mm long, 1890mm wide and 1620mm tall, with a 2670mm wheelbase and according to Mitsubishi it previews a second production PHEV after the Outlander PHEV .
