Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) has announced the forthcoming introduction of its all-new on-road Compact Crossover, to be retailed first in Japan from February 2010 onwards.

The Mitsubishi Concept-cX (2007)

Derived from the 2007 Concept-cX show car, it is the latest development of MMC's mid-size global platform ("Project Global').

This product will support Mitsubishi Motors’ strategic shift from being an SUV-focused nameplate to a manufacturer of environment-friendly passenger cars & crossovers, with a presence in the “authentic off-roader” segment.

As such – and after i-MiEV – this on-road Compact Crossover will be the Corporation's next step towards lower impact vehicles.

The European premiere is scheduled for the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.
