With the 2023 Japan Mobility Show around the corner, manufacturers are starting to tease their show cars. Mitsubishi is planning to show off a slew of off-road concept vehicles at this year’s show. As part of the buildup, the automaker released an electrified crossover concept teaser.
With the concept vehicle kicking up a considerable amount of dirt, there’s not much to be seen in the teaser. What we can see makes us think this is a new-generation Delica van. According to Mitsubishi, the concept is an electrified crossover MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) that combines SUV-like handling and MPV-like comfort and usability.
Details on the concept are scant. The automaker describes the concept as having high ground clearance, though we’ll have to take Mitsubishi’s word on that given that aspect isn’t shown. It’s also said to have an electric all-wheel-drive system and large-diameter tires.

In addition to the MPV concept, Mitsubishi also teased a frumpy-looking Last Mile Mobility vehicle developed in conjunction with LIFEHUB Inc. The company says the Last 1 mile Mobility concept uses the batteries an electric car might to allow more mobility after reaching its destination.
The 2023 Japan Mobility Show is still a few weeks away, with concept cars scheduled to be revealed during the October 25 and 26 press days. The show opens to the general public from October 28 to November 5.
