The current Mitsubishi Delica arrived in 2006 and
hit the Japanese market in 2007. The next-gen Mitsubishi Delica is in the
works, and according to a report from Web motor magazine, it will debut in
concept form at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show which opens Oct 25.
The Japanese publication reporting the development
has created renderings of the next-gen Mitsubishi Delica heavily inspired by
the Mitsubishi Xpander, earlier rumoured to replace the current Mitsubishi
Delica.
The all-new Mitsubishi Delica will ride on the
Mitsubishi Outlander‘s platform. Mitsubishi will not offer front-wheel drive
option this time. The strict 4WD MPV will feature the S-AWC (Super All Wheel
Control) system.
Under the hood, the sixth-gen Mitsubishi Delica
will have a newly-developed 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel engine that produces
170 PS and over 40 kg.m of torque. Transmission choices remain
currently unknown. The current Mitsubishi Delica arrived a year after its
concept version. The same may be the case with the successor that is expected
to launch in FY19.
