Mitsubishi Unveils Elevance, A Quad-Motor PHEV SUV Concept

The design signals Mitsubishi’s electrified off-road direction without a production plan.

Overview

  • The Elevance debuted at the Japan Mobility Show 2025 as an adventure-focused three-row crossover concept.
  • It uses a quad-motor setup within Mitsubishi’s Super-All Wheel Control, with in-wheel motors up front and dual-motor Active Yaw Control at the rear.
  • A large-capacity battery pairs with a petrol engine compatible with carbon‑neutral fuels, and the vehicle can power a color-matched camping trailer with a kitchen and shower.
  • The six-seat interior features swivel front chairs, a full-width display, exterior camera views, and an AI Co-Driver shown on a steering-wheel screen that suggests destinations and drive modes.
  • Mitsubishi provided no figures for output, battery capacity, or range, and outlets note the concept could influence future flagships such as Outlander or a possible Pajero revival without confirmation.
