Mitsubishi presented a 7-seater crossover
Mitsubishi unveiled the DST, a seven-seater family SUV that is expected to go on sale in 2025, at the Manila Auto Show in the Philippines. The DST is a cost-effective substitute for the well-liked Mitsubishi Outlander that blends functionality, contemporary style, and cutting-edge technology.
Striking Design and Exterior Features
Built on an extended version of the budget-friendly Mitsubishi Xforce platform, the DST boasts a bold and rugged design. Its high hood, wide fenders, and robust off-road body kit make a strong statement. A large, prominent grille pairs seamlessly with T-shaped LED headlights and taillights, creating a dynamic and futuristic aesthetic. Replacing traditional side mirrors, cameras enhance both the design and functionality, underscoring Mitsubishi's commitment to innovation.
High-Tech Interior for Family Comfort
The Mitsubishi DST's contemporary, family-friendly interior makes an impression. There are two sizable screens on the dashboard, and there is a specialized touchscreen for entertainment for the backseat passengers. Touch-sensitive controls take the place of conventional buttons, highlighting a sleek and modern interior design.
A high center console divides the front-row seats, giving the vehicle a more upscale appearance. The car is ideal for road trips and family activities because it has foldable tables for the second-row seats and tri-zone climate control, which ensures comfort for all passengers.
Anticipated Specifications
Although Mitsubishi has not yet released all the DST concept's characteristics, it is anticipated that the production model would have a 1.5-liter engine that produces 105 horsepower and a CVT transmission that was taken from the X force. Despite having front-wheel drive, the SUV will have different drive modes so it can confidently navigate a variety of road situations.
Market Prospects
The Mitsubishi DST is positioned to emerge as a formidable competitor in the market for reasonably priced family SUVs. It appeals to families looking for a car that is both inventive and practical because of its modern amenities, roomy cabin, and elegant exterior.
The DST, which will debut in 2025, is anticipated to be a key model in Mitsubishi's lineup, demonstrating the company's commitment to growing its selection of affordable and cutting-edge automobiles.
