Mitsubishi to premiere a new global saloon model at the Shanghai motor show

This is the Mitsubishi Concept G4, shown ahead of its debut at the Shanghai motor show next week. The new compact saloon is planned to be sold globally.

The Concept G4 is based around Mitsubishi’s lightweight Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body. Mitsubishi says the high-tensile body contributes to best-in-class fuel efficiency. It is powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine mated to a CVT gearbox.

Mitsubishi says its light weight contributes to “agile and pleasing” dynamics and a comfortable ride. 

The Concept G4’s styling will influence Mitsubishi’s future saloons. Key design concepts include a short nose, new swage lines and a “high-clarity” diamond motif. Large door openings, a high hip point and “generous” rear seat space are claimed.
