The EV options available to buyers keeps expanding, with Mitsubishi Motors Corporation unveiling the all-new Airtrek electric SUV at the Auto Guangzhou.
Mitsubishi built the new SUV on the concept of e-cruising, with the ‘e’ having triple meanings of electric, expanding, and expressive. They mean the car is battery-powered, can help the owner to expand their life, and the Airtrek symbolizes Mitsubishi’s uniqueness.
Inside the Airtrek SUV, the cabin is spacious. It offers an instrument panel that provides a broad field of vision. The finishing is classy and deliberately designed to be comfortable for the whole family as it can seat five. There is a center touch screen that you will use to access the controls.
The Airtrek SUV comes with a 70 kWh battery that delivers about 520 km according to CLTC’s standards. EPA estimates, which are more stringent, will likely be lower.
Mitsubishi boasts the Airtrek has a low center of gravity thanks to the placement of the battery at the center of the floor, leading to excellent front-rear weight distribution.
The electric motor, inverter, and reduction drive are made into a single lightweight unit that is still powerful enough to produce high horsepower and torque.
Drivers of the Airtrek will enjoy the nimble handling and smooth ride.
President and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, Takao Kato, commented on the Airtrek, “We named the new electric SUV Airtrek so that many customers can enjoy adventurous, active driving with this pure EV, which achieves a maximum driving range of approximately 520 km while emitting zero CO2 in motion. We hope the all-new Airtrek will help expand the horizons of customers in China, where environmental initiatives are accelerating with new energy vehicles, especially EVs.”
Pricing, availability, and more details on the Airtrek will come in the future.
