Mitsubishi set to launch plug-in hybrid SUV in 2013

Mitsubishi’s plug-in hybrid SUV will be launched in 2013, according to Yoshikazu Nakamura, senior executive officer of Mitsubishi Motors Corp.'s global electric vehicle business. He said that the SUV will be similar to the Px-MiEV concept car displayed at the 2009 Tokyo auto show. He indicated that the plug-in hybrid is in its final stages of development.

The four-wheel-drive Px-MiEV concept features a 1.6-liter four cylinder partnered to a hybrid system with two electric motors -- one for the front wheels and one for the rear. Back then, Mitsubishi has claimed that the Px-MiEV could be driven up to 30 miles in electric mode before switching to gasoline-electric mode.

I like the concept - like a Volkswagen-Audi mix. Nice, clean way to progress from their current design.

Mitsubishi is making another automobile? I thought they were closing shop. They should just open up Lancer dealerships and change the Eclips to a Lance Coupe. The SUVs can go away since nobody buys Montero's or whatever else they make.
