Mitsubishi will introduce its small crossover MPV concept at the upcoming 2016 Indonesia International Auto Show, to be held from August 11 to 21. Predictions are that Mitsubishi will be placing its new 7-seater to counter the Honda BRV in the Asian market. There have not been many revelations by Mitsubishi about the MPV except certain design details and hints about its interior space.

The automaker said that the front fascia is based on Mitsubishi Motors’ Dynamic Shield front design philosophy, which we have seen in the latest Mitsubishis such as the upcoming Pajero Sport. It will be a high riding vehicle with SUV-esque aesthetics such as flared wheel arches and butch looks. Speaking of cabin space, the company highlighted that the new concept car will use a wide body and optimised layout to provide generous interior space allowing seven occupants comfortably.

Recently, Nissan has acquired majority shares in Mitsubishi Motors Corporation and now has a controlling stake in the Japanese automaker. Nissan declared that it has bought 34 per cent equity stake in Mitsubishi for 237 billion yen (nearly Rs 14,000 crore).
