Targeting young urban professionals, the futuristic RD-X features rear seating that can be folded away to provide extra cargo room, power rear doors that open to the side, making it easy to load large items easily in even the tightest of spaces, and side doors that provide a large entryway in minimal space.
The Mitsubishi Hybrid Sports Pack was designed with the outdoors enthusiast in mind. It features a waterproof interior, a freshwater shower complete with retractable shower head and refillable water tank built into the exterior, seat-mounted backpacks, and a convertible top.
Another one of Mitsubishi’s concept cars, the Space Liner, was designed to use the car’s interior space in new ways to provide the most comfortable ride possible. Envisioned as a car of the future, it gets its power from fuel cells.
