Mitsubishi revives Ralliart name for hot SUV concept
Performance-oriented take on Outlander heads manufacturer’s Tokyo Auto Salon stage
Mitsubishi has revived its
Ralliart performance nameplate for a performance-focused
SUV concept, which will be one of seven models on show at the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon.
The muscular Vision Ralliart – based on the second-generation Outlander – is one of two brand-new concept cars to be revealed. It hints at how
Mitsubishi will mark out performance-inspired Ralliart models from standard cars, with its bulky front and rear bumpers, domineering front grille and large rear diffuser, which the firm says is “reminiscent of a race car”.
The Vision Ralliart will be painted in matt black with a subtle blue undertone that can be seen when hit by light.
Mitsubishi claims the model upholds the famed Ralliart performance legacy, with hardware upgrades extending to its widened stance, 22in wheels and large brake discs with opposed-piston six-pot calipers. There is no indication that the standard car’s plug-in hybrid powertrain has been significantly reworked.
