三菱在本届东京车展发布了全新eX概念车。从外观上看，这是一款紧凑型跨界车，它采用下一代电动车动力系统和全轮驱动系统。该车还采用了自动驾驶技术和多项安全系统和辅助驾驶系统以提升道路行驶安全性。外观方面，该车造型犀利，棱角分明，其设计风格将融入明年发布的下一代ASX。它的车头为Dynamic Shield前脸，LED双大灯布局，车尾采用回飞镖尾灯组。不过，下一代ASX不会采用概念车的向后开启自杀式车门和内凹式车门把手，侧面的摄像头也将被普通后视镜所取代。概念车内装采用的触控显示屏也将被传统按键和旋钮所替代。预计下一代ASX将在明年发布，很可能会在日内瓦车展亮相。

 

Mitsubishi eX concept introduced in Tokyo with pure electric AWD setup

The Tokyo Motor Show has opened its doors to the press and now Mitsubishi is showing us their brand new eX concept.

 

Tokyo is the best venue for Japanese automaker to show their latest concepts and most of these are alternatively powered as is the case with the Mitsubishi eX which takes the shape of a compact crossover that utilizes a next-generation EV powertrain working together with an all-wheel drive arrangement.

 

Being a concept from a Japanese marque, it’s no wonder the eX also employs autonomous driving technology and also comes with a plethora of safety and assistance systems to make our roads a lot safer.

 

The angular styling of the car is a taste of what’s to come as Mitsubishi mentions the eX’s design will influence future production models and chances are the first of the bunch will be the next generation ASX set to come out sometime next year. It will likely make use of the company’s fresh take on the Dynamic Shield front fascia implemented on this concept which as you can see has a double headlight arrangement with LED technology also used at the back for the boomerang-shaped taillights.

 

The next ASX is unlikely to get the concept’s suicide doors and recessed door handles while the side cameras will be replaced with conventional mirrors. The interior will also go through some changes as the concept’s cabin packed with touchscreen displays will make the switch to a more conventional layout featuring traditional buttons and knobs.

 

Look for an official launch of the next-gen Mitsubishi ASX at a major auto show next year, possibly as early as March in Geneva.
