Mitsubishi has officially unveiled the Delica Mini in Japan after a sneak peek in early November 2022. The compact hatchback, with its boxy design and outdoorsy kei, comes with optional all-wheel drive and hybrid power.
The huge greenhouse area and the sculpted profile are two exterior traits that are shared with its predecessor. The skid plates and glossy black stickers on the wheel arches and side skirts give the Delica Mini a distinctive face, and the dark-silver 15-inch alloy wheels and roof rails complement its daring stance. The new kei automobile from Mitsubishi comes in 12 color options, one of which is the distinguishing Ash Green Metallic.
Due to the carry-over design, the Delica Mini's interior is an upgraded version of the eK X Space. Even so, there are minor modifications, such as the new trim, the slightly larger 9-inch infotainment touchscreen, and the altered design of the temperature vents.
Additional camping-friendly features include pull-up sunshades, an air filtration and deodorization system, and upholstery made of stain-resistant, breathable, and water-repellent fabric.
The redesigned Delica measures only 3395 millimeters long, 1475 millimeters wide, and 1830 millimeters height. It was designed to meet kei vehicle standards. In the case of the AWD model, its wheelbase is 2495 mm and receives particular tuning for the shock absorbers. The lightest variant on the market weighs 970 kilos, while the heaviest version weighs 1,060 kilograms.
The base model's 52 horsepower and 60 Nm are generated by a three-cylinder, 0.66-liter naturally aspirated engine. If you upgrade to the more powerful model, you'll have a powerful 64 horsepower and 100 Nm. Both of the Delica Mini's engines can operate with either FWD or AWD, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is the only available option.
On May 25, the Mitsubishi Delica Mini will be available for purchase in Japan, with prices ranging from $13,728 to $17,035 depending on the model.
