At the Japan Mobility Show 2025, Mitsubishi unveiled its new concept car: the Elevance Concept. It’s an electrified crossover that previews the company’s direction toward sustainable and adventure-inspired mobility.

The model illustrates Mitsubishi’s steady progress in hybrid powertrain development and its focus on delivering vehicles that encourage exploration under its “Forever Adventure” theme. Unlike earlier concepts such as the XFC and DST, which were close to production when revealed, the Elevance Concept is a true concept vehicle. It stands as a creative showcase for ideas in design and engineering that push beyond current limits and may influence future production models.

Essence of Mitsubishi

Takao Kato, president and chief executive officer of Mitsubishi Motors, said, “We chose ‘Forever Adventure’ as our booth theme to express our passion for delivering the timeless wonder of exploration. This spirit comes to life in models that embody the essence of Mitsubishi Motors which integrates the best of our electrification and all-wheel control technologies. Even in an age of advanced technologies, we remain committed to the pure joy of driving and aim to inspire a mobility experience that awakens the sense of adventure.”
