Mitsubishi
Komorebi
Since
Mitsubishi’s mind is set only on crossovers and SUVs lately, a designer decided
to create a mid-size, five-door concept based on the Japanese car
manufacturer’s current "dynamic shield" design philosophy.
Baptized
the Mitsubishi Komorebi by its creator, Gábor Farkas, the study takes its
inspiration from nature Mitsubishi models of old like the Galant and Lancer. In
fact, the name Komorebi, translates to the phenomenon of sunlight
filtering through the trees, as an interplay between the light and the leaves,
perfectly emphasizes the designer's wish to integrate nature’s beauty into the
car’s sheetmetal.
The
car’s edgy design uses one of the most perfect creation of nature, the
honeycomb, to emphasize the hexagonal dominant motif throughout the car and
it's most dominant in the cabin, especially in the instrument cluster,
infotainment display and air vents etc.
As
a general shape, although it’s reminiscent of the hatchback Galant and Lancer,
the Komorebi has a liftback form, often seen on old-school Mitsubishis. The
best part of the study is that it already looks like a product designed by the
Japanese car maker for the mid-size segment.
