That van concept is more the future I want rather than the Cybertruck.
A lot of those idiots who bought them are already having a lot of issues with their Cybercucks.
@BrianEugeneLee193 Mitsubishi won't fail.
Why do people randomly bash Tesla at any chance? Lose your girl to a Tesla owner?
@BrianEugeneLee193 sorry, they will succeed one way or another.
@@freddybell8328 Can't speak for others, but for me, not random. The Cybertruck is supposed to be the future. But I just think that Mitusbishi van concept is a better future. I'm not bashing Tesla. In fact, I like Cybertruck best of any Tesla.
North America needs more vans. They just can’t be underpowered. That was a problem with the smaller vans that have all been discontinued over the last few years.
You mean the Chrysler Voyager, Dodge Caravan, Mazda 5, and Kia Rondo or City Express, NV 200, Pro Master City, Metris, and Transit Connect
Chrysler mini-vans are great. The rest mini cargo vans you listed were all too small for most businesses, too underpowered for most personal users, and lacked all of the nice features regular passenger mini vans have. The Mercedes Metris (Vigo) probably would have succeeded if it were a Ford or Chevy. The Mercedes badge is off putting to someone who wants a utility vehicle that's cost effective to operate.
KEI style vans will not benefits working Americans in any kind of way. Be realistic and pragmatic.
@@njad3 Ford, Ram, and Nissan sold small work vans in the USA Until recently. Chevrolet even had one a while ago. I still see them around town. KEI style are not street legal in the States. They would not be a good fit for US roadways as they are under powered for the market which was my point to begin with. Although they are used on college campuses and other off highway sites.
Electric Mazda 5
I think Mitsubishi should put everything into this. Especially if they could do a hybrid version. With a versatile AWD platform and decent fuel economy it would appeal to wide market.
100%
One of the best part of being stationed in Japan was the Delica Star wagon I had for almost 4 years.
That thing was a mule - a blizzard? No problem. a typhoon? No problem. road trip to Tokyo? No problem.
Met a lot of good local people because of that truck.
Miss it a lot.
new delica would be sick no matter what
I want Mitsubishi to make a comeback and offer more than just bland SUVs in North America
na they don't care about car guys wants and that's a good thing since they'll sell more cars not tailored towards car guys.
@BrianEugeneLee193 h8ters gonna h8te, Mitsubishi coming back ❤
@BrianEugeneLee193 coming back to succeed.
@BrianEugeneLee193 sorry, coming back to win, no exceptions.
Starting in the 1980's, Mitsubishi marketed their products in a dealer network separate from Chrysler Corporation. Their pickup truck was named the Mighty Max. It was still sold as the Dodge D-50 by Dodge. Sometime in the mid-1980's, a one-ton model was added. This was a long bed (7 foot) model with chassis and axle upgrades to allow for a payload capacity of one metric ton or 2,200 lbs. The Mighty Max was discontinued in 1996 or 97. Mitsubishi was not the only brand to have a metric-ton package option for a small pickup truck. Most of the other small pickups had similar models as well including the Jeep Comanche. The current generation Triton club cab has a 2,400 lb capacity according to an Australian media model revue.
Seeing a Yamaha sound system in a car seems exciting! I’m really hoping the quality delivers.
True that the Outlander is really the only competitive Mitsubishi for sale in US, but the Eclipse Cross is also popular in Japan. So Delica, XForce, and an EV pickup.🤔Sounds good, except I wish they’d just bring over the Triton and the Pajero Sport based off of that. But nevertheless, great news from Mitsubishi.
Exactly. There’s no reason they couldn’t figure out how to make a pickup at the Nissan plant in Tennessee.
@@dforrest4503Nissan even decided to base their Navara and Frontier on Mitsubishi’s frame platform. That means Mitsubishi definitely could build the Triton side by side with the next upcoming Frontier. Maybe that’s what they’re thinking. Who knows. And the Pajero Sport is a must have for the US market. Price it right and Americans will go crazy.
I absolutely love Mitsubishi!!! I've owned them for over 30 years. Had no major problems with them.
Same here👍
Dont give me hope. As someone who remembers the golden dsm days of Mitsubishi seeing them down like this sucks. If they bring this to America the overland community would go absolutely insane! Bring the colt(clio) too, Mitsubishi we await your return.
@BrianEugeneLee193 absolutely! I can't wait hopefully this paves the way for the Evo to back a comeback in the near future, but lets walk before we can run 😂
🤩🤩 Bring back Jackie Chan...he always used Mitsu 4x4! I love the Montero!
We imported a 2005 L400 Delica almost two years ago (Canada has a 15 year rule), and it's been absolutely amazing. We've turned it into an offroad camper and it's been far more capable than we could imagine. The new Delica will do very well here in North America.
Mitusbishi had two awesome small vans in the early 90s. The Expo and Expo LRV. That's what I want, but made by Toyota, Mazda, or Subaru.
A Delica would be a hit and could put Mitsubishi as the standard of a true MPV van. The off-road craze is hot and doesn't look like it's losing steam and if they offered a van that can off-road....that market would be theirs to take.
I agree they should bring a pickup back to the U.S market, and honestly the Triton/L200 would be nice. I know the logistics would be something to overcome since the Triton/L200 does not share anything with the current D40 chassis Nissan Frontier because the new Triton is all Mitsubishi engineered and developed to be used as a global platform which Nissan would use as for the next Navara. The Nissan frontier chassis is only North American designated.
An off-road Outlander would be nice to offer , but I also though the Ralliart Outlander was some they were planning also with higher output EV motors and be more performance based. I wonder what happened with that plan.
Either or I am extremely happy Mitsubishi is committing to thrive here....I love the brand.
Ok we are mostly a Toyota family BUT if they come out with this new van….i might have to pick it up! 🇨🇦
I’d prefer a more normal interior and definitely some physical buttons but exterior I’m cool with the way it looks.
I’ve had both generations of the Scion XB so I’m all about this kind of style!
Snack service? Kirk is livin’ the life.😎
We respect he wants to stay home and be a family man!
@@davidgladYes, massive respect. He’s damn lucky.
I am optimistic for the future, in another press release Mitsubishi said they would launch a new or refreshed vehicle from Fiscal Year 2026 until 2030, with some models in new segments for the brand. As much as I'll miss the Mirage for being affordable transportation, I am excited for their new products coming soon. Hopefully this will work out in the long run.
If the Delica is coming, maybe the Toyota X Gear Van may as well. I'm liking the possibilities
I love that DX van. Great for camping in hard to reach areas in the countryside.
Mitsubishi needs new products ASAP in North America or all of this planning and future product will be too late. The XForce would be a great start here within the next year.
I think he touched on it, but Mitsubishi is planning on releasing two new products by the start of FY25. I'm guessing one of those may be the XForce or one Outlander variant.
We can only hope, the new product whatever it maybe is replacing the Mirage supposedly.
Outlander Sport is the RVR in Japan, so they should call the XForce the RVR.
As a canadian it is also called the RVR up here
Not sure why they decided to name it differently for the US
@@user-ho3nd3lt2nI wonder too. RVR sounds better than “Outlander Sport”. With the upcoming lifted Outlander, virtually most of Mitsubishi’s lineup would be some sort of “Outlander”.😂
The D:X Concept is very cool indeed. At first glance it reminded me of "The Chariot" vehicle from the 1960's TV show "Lost in Space." A camper version like the VW California would also be desirable.
I knew that Mitsubishi was onto something, especially after the runaway success of the Outlander. They definitely made a smart move by introducing the Delicia stateside as the imported 25 year old ones are very popular for overlanding and camping. It essentially has created familiarity with the model and will already have fans in the US. And currently, there are very few options for similar outdoorsy vans. Plus, it will be the only Japanese brand to offer such a model in the US. This will definitely help Mitsubishi set themselves apart from the competition and offer something unique, just like how Subaru offers standard AWD on all their cars and Mazda making their vehicles semi-luxury. And of course, it is very exciting to see the other new models they will be releasing soon as well. Well done Mitsubishi!
Kirk have you figured out which daughter is going to take over the channel! 😆😅 They are definitely wrenching on 2jz's
OMG that minivan is 🔥
I want to do Mitsubishi to do well. I have 2017 Mitsubishi outlander sport AWD. I love the van. I live in the US.
love the old Delicas. Would love it if they brought it here new
To recover ground they could:
- Introduce the new Triton I'm the USA (L200 here in Argentina) with V6 and rear disc breaks to compete with the Ford Ranger. The Triton is much more reliable than the Ranger. I had the 1996 top-of-the-line L200.
- Introduce the Outlander reloaded version you mentioned
- A reborn Pajero, with the original Pajero vibes, Not the Pajero Sport, (Montero here in Argentina). This is rumored for 2027
- D:X Concept-based Off-road Minivan. The DELICA of the future (My guess is 2027)
I am a Mitsubichi Fan since 1996.
Greetings from Buenos Aires.
Chicken tax should be done away with all together since Mexico gets a free pass. Is Europe still taxing chicken from the USA like they did when all this began? We miss out on way too many trucks from around the world. I’d like to be able to choose a VW, Mazda, Isuzu or Mitsubishi truck if that’s my prerogative.
They’ll never do that. The American 3 and Toyota don’t want cheap trucks flooding the market.
@@DeadAir21 the big 3 and Toyota scared of free market capitalism
US government is also scared... they recently added more tariffs on Chinese vehicles
If that new weird looking van has a small diesel or gas engine as the main power plant, I'd consider it for a business vehicle. Need a larger van to haul our crap to different events also it would need some room with all the seats out and maybe be able to tow 5k pounds
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video I have a mitsubishi outlander phev so whatever the company has in store includes Canada 🇨🇦
The pickup will be a mid size. I believe the “1 Ton” is a metric measurement
Come on Kirk, this will never be put into production! Mitsu have been showing extravagant concept for decades, none came into fruition.
Mitsubishi NEEDS to bring back the Montero/Montero Sport if they really want to make a difference in the US market again. As an owner of a 2001 SR Montero with 213k miles, these things are bulletproof (despite the oil burning). I also like the Triton (or L200) pickup that they have which would also do really well in the US market as an affordable alternative to the Tacoma, Frontier, Ranger, etc.
These vans need to have off road cred with serious high speed stability and suspension with much wider dimensions and wheel tracks - it also needs to look like this D:X Concept
Yes finally the Delica is back and the MPV off road cult and Delica 4wd fans will be happy about it(fun fact they use the Delica D5 as support car in Dakar and AXCR).
Mitsubishi is did something good for bringing back the LHD Delica I hope it will sell like hot cakes when the production version is unveiled.
We like the cameos from your family! 😊
I heard that Mitsubishi will make a PHEV Triton to fight Ranger PHEV & BYD
We need also an Outlander RALLIART and a Outlander Trail Edition, a sporty and off-road variant with real upgrades!
Ngl that Mitso DX looks cool. 😎
A new phev with 1000hp at least tri motor Pajero with magnetic suspension. I tried the BYD U8 on a business trip and it was amazing. Interior color not my taste but they are saying new colors are coming. (Though will be the boring traditional ones)
will Nissan e-power ever come stateside?
They better hurry it up. I don't know how dealers are staying afloat.
I think that 1-ton pick up truck would be the All-New Triton. As far as I know, decades ago, they called that here in Asia as a 1-ton pick up. I've read an article online that Mitsubishi had made the New-gen Triton with PHEV technology in mind for future variations, just not quite sure if they would still use the twin turbo diesel like what we have here in Asia and Oceania with hybrid technology. Before the release of the Triton, I believe some people have spotted Mitsubishi testing this truck in North America... What are the odds...
Btw correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the upcoming Nissan Kicks the same platform as the Mitsubishi XForce? It has all the same dimensions and seems alot of external points for lighting and front cooling is the same?
No, it's not, the XForce is based off the Mitsubishi Xpander which is an all Mitsubishi product.
Nothing but a EVO will save Mitsubishi.
The other question one should ask is whether Mitsubishi would remain in the US market at all. Contrary to what others may impress, Mitsubishi is flourishing with its non US global vehicles like the Triton --- kept out of the US market thanks to Chicken Tax --- and recently the Xpander. The latter is an MPV successfully competing against its Toyota equivalents. The further the North American market with its regulations further deviate from the rest of the world, the more costly it is to develop US market vehicles to a point that we are seeing many auto manufacturers are willing to accept zero US presence.
This is how every car should look like!!!!
Mitsubishi desperately needs to dig out a new weird niche. Vans are overdue for a fat comeback.
I almost bought the 2024 Outlander PHEV and I changed my mind when I found out the MPG is only 26 when the battery is exhausted compared to the RAV4 Prime around 38-40mpg. It’ll be awesome if they bring the EVO Lancer as a PHEV.
Kirk you better patent that name "Digital Windshield", before other companies eat it up
Im 29, me and sister both shared the passanger seat in my grandmothers 280ZX. So onky 7 seats? What a problem to have 😂
A lifted Nissan rogue; great. As for the van, believe it when I see it. Probably have Nissan powertrain with the Nissan CVT
It's a PHEV Delica. Has nothing to do with Jatco CVT
@@KirkKreifels that's good news. But a plug-in hybrid still has to have a transmission. We'll see. Mitsubishi at this point doesn't really do much on their own anymore
Could Nissan bring back the Quest as a rebadged Delica but less rugged
@@chezzyperson3339 nobody remembers the quest.
@@kevinbarry71Mitsubishi has their own one-speed automatic transmission (not a CVT) for all of their PHEVs iirc. Outlander PHEV has it.
With that Delica, I would place a deposit for one on the spot!
This looks so fantasy-like, it's gonna basically be a completely different vehicle when it comes to production.
I wouldn't mind driving that van . Looks like it can be driven on the moon lol.
Mitsubishi Xforce is already in Central América just came in, its called Outlander Sport. The Outlander Sport from Nort America its called ASX here.
if Mitsubishi put everything into the D:X Concept based Delica D6 that would probably permanently alter the automotive landscape
the problem is, the current delica is a front-wheel-drive based van. I would like to see rear-wheel drive based proper off-road van like the olden days. So if Mitsubishi can base it off of their midsize truck platform, that'be great
Yeah I didn´t get that completely either. Here in Europa a normal Navara (Frontier) can take up to 1 ton. Or it´s like that: midsize worldwide, 1 ton North America. But I doubt after the Titan went away they will do a bigger truck than the Titan. 🤔
Looks like that small Mirage replacement will be based on the Nissan Kicks which makes sense since they have been a partner for a few years and have done well with the Outlander. I would love to see a Delica, but honestly I don’t have a ton of hope for it and wouldn’t bet money on them bringing it here.
I really hope it is a full fledged delica
Montero sport?
💥 Attention Kirk, I was assisting a friend buying a car at superstition springs Toyota Arizona. Very long process ..... I was talking to a salesman unrelated to my friends vehicle purchase, I mentioned the New 4Runner & Tacoma and some of it's short coming in the Toyota off road community.... He told me that it was just put out in a dealer meeting.... That the New Tacoma next year.... Will have a optional V6......I asked 3.5 or 4.0 .... He didn't know..... But the Tacoma will be getting a v6 option
No way the reason they are bringing the van to the US isn’t because of the people who imported JDM Hiaces and Delicas for overlanding and stuff
I wish they would update the Mirage rather than canceling it
That X Force is not the same market segment as the Mirage is. So, I will have to baby my Mirage until eternity. I love light, simple, tiny economic cars.
It would be cool if they did a rebadged and reskinned version of the new Z as a Mitsubishi Starion.
I know it wont happen though.
I like to think in some universe it did.
From rear, it looks beautiful, but from the front, maybe they need to make the nose a bit longer
I love Yamaha speakers. I have a setup that can shake the neigh orhood from my bedroom.
The DX and Canoo had a baby...
Just maybe somebody that has excellent credit will buy one.
Let’s not get carried away now.
Bring back the original eclipse and the Lancer Evo, I know this has been said before but I can't think of any other way to bring back Mitsubishi from the brink...
Will the XForce be similar to the new Nissan Kicks?
No
Love it !👍👍
"the snacks have been delivered"😂
Hopefully we get a sports car🙏
but i am sad where is Montero ,still has a chance why they are not thinking abt it
Awesome!!!
The global truck is the L200.
pleeeeeaaaasssseeeee plug in hybrid, because I need an adventure awd van that'll be OK going out to remote areas. The new VW Bus can't.
DELICA!
Mitsubishi, make a PHEV car that's FWD and that's priced close to 20000 grand
I would name the pickup as Endeavor instead of Raider or the Endeavor to be a SUV based on the current or next Nissan Pathfinder.
They need to release a flagship 2 door sports car to stir up hype for the brand. The Eclipse can fill that position and the Mirage can be brought back as a sporty compact sedan that'll compete with the Mazda3, Honda Civic, and Nissan Sentra
Fire their chief engineer first then we’ll talk about those sporty design
They need to bring back the evo and an actual car eclipse.
the XForce looks like a Qashqai/Rogue Sport rebadge
It's not, the XForce is based off the Mitsubishi Xpander which is all Mitsubishi.
That little Yamaha speakered SUV looks like their version of the Nissan Kicks. Further shows their alliance with Nissan.
The XForce is based off the Mitsubishi Xpander which is all Mitsubishi.
This Mitsubishi Vehicle Looks Like the Chariot from Lost in Space TV show 😲🤣🤣🤣🤪😜🫤 But I Do Like the Triton/🦈 Shark 🦈 Pickup truck 🛻😎
Kirk, what if we told you, we don't care about EVs?
Where is my new hybrid PAJEROOOOO!
When will mount Fuji gods answer my only prayer to them?
Also, the "Delica" should be renamed to "Boulder" (Because of the town, and because it looks like one)
🙏🙏
For lack of sedans from GM, if they bring back the Lancer Evo line w/ hybrid turbo engine, AWD, manual transmission . . that might revive interest in Mitsubishi in my eyes
But not holding my breath
I know I said in a previous comment that I’d buy one of it came to 🇨🇦 BUT if it’s even 1% Nissan…I’m out!
X-Force is called ASX.
Is it going to be rebadged nissan elgrand?
Dont get me excited kirk 😅
EVO 11?
'Couldn't care less about the far-fetched features of the concept vehicle; what I'm interested in would be a midsize *van* - not a minivan - with decent power. ICE or hybrid, preferably, not electric or plug-in (with heavy battery packs). For such a vehicle, I'd even consider a Mitsubishi. I'd remove the seats and make it a camper.
