Mitsubishi Motors Concept GC-PHEV Makes North American Debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show
Mitsubishi introduced the Concept GC-PHEV during the Media Preview of the 2015 Chicago Auto Show. The full-size crossover concept provides a glimpse at the brand’s new design language applied to a large SUV.
“This concept is a key part of the ongoing PHEV strategy,” said Don Swearingen, executive vice president of Mitsubishi Motors North America. “This is just the beginning of what’s in store for our brand.”
The Concept GC-PHEV features new styling, a powerful yet highly efficient 335 horsepower supercharged MIVEC V-6 engine/electric motor plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) drivetrain, and 8-speed automatic transmission. In addition to Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) full-time all-wheel-drive, and advanced high-tech features.
Mitsubishi’s newest technology, the Tactical Table, is incorporated in the Concept GC-PHEV.
The new information system makes connected car technology and interactive experience available to everyone inside the vehicle. When the driver or one of the passengers places their smartphone atop the Tactical Table, they can create, collect, exchange and share information with others using the Concept GC-PHEV’s onboard communications system.
Other vehicle technology included in the Concept GC-PHEV are advanced safety features such as Mitsubishi Motors “Connected Car” Technology, AR Windshield, Pedestrian Collision Mitigation Auto-breaking, Rearward Blind Spot Vehicle Warning, Unintentional Vehicle Move Off Control and Driver Monitor.
