Autoblog – Mitsubishi Delica Outlander Variant Planned For US Market

• If you haven’t been paying attention, you may be surprised to hear that Mitsubishi has been doing fairly well in the United States over the last several years.
• The brand’s more recent resurgence, led by the latest Mitsubishi Outlander and Outlander PHEV, which it co-developed with fellow Japanese partner Nissan, first began around the year 2018, says Mitsubishi North America President and CEO Mark Chaffin. “Momentum 2030 will build on that, setting the stage for new powertrains and vehicles being introduced, new dealerships being opened, and new technologies being developed to make the shopping and ownership experience faster, easier and more enjoyable.”
• “New powertrains and new vehicles” are always keywords that pique the ears of automotive enthusiasts, and Mitsubishi seemingly has some solid stepping stones in the works to continue gaining momentum in the crucial American market, with trucks, crossovers and multi-purpose vehicles that could offer some truly interesting entries into segments the automaker hasn’t dipped its toes in decades.
• One particular potential vehicle of interest is, oddly enough, a passenger van, which appears to be shown in the middle of the line-up preview photo below. But we’re not talking about a run-of-the-mill minivan. According to dealership employees present at Mitsubishi’s Momentum 2030 program cited by Automotive News, the van would take inspiration from the D:X Concept that we openly loved after its introduction in Tokyo last year.
• The van would reportedly maintain its rugged credentials — perfect for the growing number of Americans who embrace off-road lifestyles like camping and overlanding — and feature a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
• We can’t imagine some of the concept’s far-out features like a front glass panel to see the ground ahead or a dashboard and steering wheel setup that moves with the driver’s door making it into production. The three-row, six-passenger seating arrangement and true off-road tuning on the other hand are likely items for the final product.
• Also, Mitsubishi sells some popular pickup truck models in other markets around the world, but hasn’t sold a proper truck in the States since its partnered with Dodge for the ill-fated Dakota-based Raider. But, according to reports from Automotive News, Mitsubishi may instead be looking into the future at electrified pickups. We’ll just have to wait and see if anything comes of that idea, but we’d suspect if any electric trucks from Mitsu do make it into production, it won’t be any time soon.

 

Car Buzz – Kia Plans To Build Land Cruiser Competitor

• A Kia Australia executive has has expressed excitement in the idea of Kia creating a body-on-frame SUV based on the upcoming Tasman pickup truck. Speaking to CarsGuide, Roland Rivero, General Manager of Product Planning at Kia Australia, said the brand would “love” an SUV with serious off-roading credentials.
• “We’d love one. But with Mohave already developed, and I know Mohave is a fairly old product now, but at this point in time, globally, you need a strong global case, not just an Australian business case,” he said. The new Tasman has been spotted testing in the US ahead of its reveal, but there’s no confirmation that it will be offered in America. But what about an SUV?
• “So we’d love to spawn a ladder-frame SUV, like an Everest competitor, out of that same [Tasman] platform. And theoretically, you could, but it is something that we still have to negotiate hard with headquarters.,” said the executive. While this doesn’t look good for a planned Tasman-based SUV, there is space for a model like this now that the Mohave has reportedly been discontinued. According to reports out of Korea, production will end to accommodate the production of new SUVs and trucks, such as the Tasman.
• Kia USA needs to ensure that it doesn’t oversaturate its SUV lineup. Currently, the automaker offers the Carnival, Sorento, and Telluride, all catering to larger families. Let’s not forget the smaller Sportage and the all-electric EV9. Is there space for a more rugged off-roader? We think so; currently, the best off-roaders Kia offers are the Telluride X-Line and X-Pro trims, although these can’t be considered serious off-roaders. If Kia wants to compete with the Toyota Land Cruiser, Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, and Toyota 4Runner, a Tasman-based SUV could be a strong seller in the United States.
• As mentioned, there’s no word yet on whether the Tasman will reach the US. Initially, the truck will be launched with four-cylinder gas and diesel engines. PHEVs and V6s may arrive later, but they’re not confirmed. As Kia expands the engine lineup, perhaps there’s a chance the Tasman may be offered locally. We’ve already seen it being benchmarked against the V6-powered Ranger Raptor, so there’s a good chance a high-end performance version is being developed.
