Mitsubishi planning all-electric, subcompact crossover

Mitsubishi hopes to have an all-electric CUV on the road by 2020

Mitsubishi is looking to give its lineup a boost with a new, all-electric subcompact crossover.

Speaking at an event in Australia, Motoring reports CEO Osamu Masuko says Mitsubishi is working on a small SUV, with a range of about 400 kilometres, due out by 2020. Further details are sparse, but word on the street is that the design will probably be inspired by the eX Concept.

Not only that, the electric crossover in question – which has yet to be named – will be all-wheel-drive and feature today’s seemingly requisite autonomous driving capabilities and laundry list of active safety features.

Look for it to compete with the likes of the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3, among others. Sounds a lot like an all-electric RVR replacement to us.
