Mitsubishi has revealed latest pictures of its upcoming SUV PX-MiEV plug in hybrid crossover model that will be revealed at the Tokyo Auto Show 2009 next month. PX is Mitsubishi shorthand for "plug-in hybrid crossover". The car has a 4WD powered by two electric motors present - one in front and one at the back that produce combined power of 80 bhp. The new plug-in system allows users to tap into the grid with either a 100 or 200-volt outlet. MiEV stands for Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle concept.
In EV mode the car can cover at 30 miles on full charge. The interiors include heat reflective glass and paint, air conditioning and Active safety systems – ranging from a "Multi-Around Monitor" to a front-facing camera that detects fatigue, then alerts the driver through a series of visual, audio and "vibrational" warnings.
“The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV is a new-generation concept car that balances high environmental performance with running performance by utilizing differential motors and Mitsubishi's all-new S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control), that utilises E-AYC (Electric-powered Active Yaw Control) which transfers torque to the rear left and right wheels,” says the Press Release.
