The Concept Sportback presents a new platform, which will be the basis for the next sport sedans of the Japanese brand. Surely, the next production sedan will have five doors, and will have similar size and volume characteristics to those of the [Renault] Laguna.
This new platform will be a big bet for Mitsubishi, as they plan to use it for both sedans and for a future SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle), which would replace the current Outlander model.
With an extremely sporty appearance, the Sportback has sharp lines and small headlights, characteristic features for many years in the models of this Asian company.
Its silhouette is a neat combination of contradictory elements, the dynamism and fluidity of lines combined with the hard definition of volumes. The hood and cockpit integrate well, but marking hard their encounter.
