Concept Time at 2016 GIIAS -  Mitsubishi Stages XM MPV to Enter Production by October 2017

MANILA: The 2016 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show today opened its doors for onlookers from all around the world that have gathered just to have a glimpse of newest and finest introductions in the auto world. In the long list of newbies, there is a standout participant from Mitsubishi as well. Though the car is currently in the concept phase of its life-cycle, the company claims to start its production by October 2017. What is more appealing is the fact that its production model will look 80% similar to what is on display at GIIAS 2016.

Also, it is not the first time that we have seen something like this with a Mitsubishi badge. The 2016 GIIAS displayed XM concept looks way too similar to the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show displayed Mitsubishi eX Concept. Coming to the one currently on display in Indonesia, we have shared with you the preview shots of the same only a few days back.

5. According to Tsunehiro Kunimoto, GM MMC's design office, the car once launched can be used as a long-distance commute that will be enabled to cope up with bad road and flood conditions, all thanks to its good ground clearance.

6. On the designing front, the car is blessed with Mitsubishi's Dynamic Shield design language that integrates features like slit-like headlamps, black grille, flared wheel arches, bold contour lines, and floating roof.

7. Images of the cabin are still not out but according to company's spokesmen and other sources the XM concept is gifted with a spacious cabin with good headroom and legroom.
