About Mitsubishi’s new Delica Mini

It is an all-rounder wagon with a more SUV-like feel based on the light super height wagon “eK Cross Space. ‘ ‘ The exterior design has been changed to be more similar to the Delia D:5. Although many parts of the design are still similar, the image has changed by adopting a larger grille and a new generation dynamic shield. The headlights are equipped with semi-circular LED daylights. The front and rear bumpers have also been changed to a Delica-like design.

Adopts a new platform . Special off-road tires are used, and the vehicle height has been increased to give it an SUV-like feel. The lineup also includes a mild hybrid vehicle , full-time 4WD that allows the vehicle to adapt to the road surface, and Grip Control that supports starting on slippery roads . Brake control allows you to drive safely even on steep downhill slopes. Adopts Hill Descent Control [HDC]. The packaged “e-Assist” is installed as standard, and includes “Collision Damage Mitigation Braking System (FCM)”, “Lane Departure Warning System (LDW)”, “Lane Departure Prevention Function (LDP)”, “Press Misapplication Collision Prevention Assist”, and “Automatic”. High beam (AHB)” and ” MI-PILOT system ” can be selected as an option. Power sliding doors on both sides have an opening width of 650mm for the rear seats. Adopts a ” hands-free auto sliding door .”

About Mitsubishi’s new Delica Mini advanced safety equipment e-Assist

The active safety technology “e-Assist” falls under the “wide” category of “Safety Support Car S” (commonly known as Support Car S).

The automatic high beam (AHB) forward detection camera detects the lights of vehicles in front and oncoming vehicles, as well as the brightness around the road. It supports safe driving by increasing the frequency of driving with high beams and detecting pedestrians early.

Collision Mitigation Braking System (FCM) Front camera detects vehicles and pedestrians ahead. If the possibility of a collision increases, a warning will be displayed on the meter display and a buzzer will sound to prompt the driver to take evasive action. In the unlikely event that the driver is unable to decelerate safely, the system automatically applies the emergency brake to avoid a collision or reduce damage and injuries in the event of a collision.

Lane Departure Warning System (LDW) If the vehicle is about to deviate from its lane unintentionally, a warning will appear on the meter display and a buzzer will alert you.

Lane Departure Prevention (LDP)  generates force for a short period of time in the direction of returning the vehicle to the lane, prompting the driver to return the vehicle to the lane.

Misapplication Collision Prevention Assist  During parking operations, etc., when driving at low speeds, if there is an obstacle such as a wall in the direction of travel, the brake operation may be delayed and the risk of collision with the obstacle is sensed, or the accelerator pedal may be used as the brake pedal. If the driver presses the pedal by mistake, the driver is alerted by a display in the meter and a buzzer. By controlling engine output and brakes, it helps prevent collisions with obstacles and excessive acceleration.

About Mitsubishi’s new Delica Mini and other advanced safety equipment

MI-PILOT system (optional) Equipped with adaptive cruise control [ACC] and lane keep assist [LKA], mainly supporting driving on highways. Monotonous “traffic jam driving” and long “cruising driving” on the expressway. Activates when driving on a highway (approximately 0km/h to 100km/h). In these two scenes, the car supports accelerator, brake, and steering operations. Reduces the burden on the driver when driving at high speeds.

Stop Signal  : When the brakes are applied suddenly, the brake lights flash to notify the rear of the vehicle that the brakes are being braked suddenly to reduce the possibility of being rear-ended by a vehicle behind.

Multi-Around Monitor Front and back　sonar detects obstacles and alerts you with a buzzer. You can intuitively grasp the surrounding situation as if you were looking down on the car from directly above, and park with peace of mind.

Digital Rearview Mirror  The rearview mirror is equipped with an LCD monitor, allowing you to instantly switch between the image from the rear camera and the mirror.

Is there a new Mitsubishi Delica Mini?

Is there a “Delica Mini” even though there is an “eK Cross Space”? Naturally, doubts remain, but by positioning it as a compact version of Mitsubishi’s Delica D:5, which has the highest sales and product appeal, the Delica Mini will become uniquely in demand. Of course, rival models include Honda’s N-BOX and Suzuki’s Spacia. In particular, “Spacia” has a lineup of many derived models, such as ” Spacia “, ” Spacia Custom “, ” Spacia Gear “, and ” Spacia Base “.In the coming era of diversification, having a lineup of derivative models will lead to strengthening of sales power. It seems possible.

Suzuki in the new Spacia

Spacia/Spacia Custom

Suzuki fully remodeled the new Spacia and Spacia Custom and released them on December 14, 2017. The platform has been redesigned, significantly improving rigidity, quietness, crash performance, and driving performance, while also reducing weight.

By creating a smooth platform shape to reduce the number of reinforcing parts, and by thinning the board and making the frame continuous, sufficient body rigidity is ensured with fewer parts. Approximately 46% of the body uses high-strength steel plates, and the range of use of ultra-high-strength steel plates (1180MPa to 980MPa) has been expanded from 11% to approximately 16%. The underbody’s main structure and component layout have been completely redesigned, improving rigidity, quietness, crash performance, and driving performance while reducing weight. These improvements improve bending and torsional rigidity by approximately 30%. In terms of weight reduction, this is the first Suzuki vehicle to use resin materials for the front fender and lower cross member. For seats, the structure of the seat back frame will be reviewed and the parts that attach to the body side will be welded.

spacia gear

Based on the Spacia, the exterior looks like an SUV. It looks like the front mask is similar to the new Jimny, Hustler, and Crosby, which are all the rage right now. The name Gear means “tool,” and since it is based on a Spacia, it uses a CVT instead of a MT.

The interior features a large passenger seat upper box with a toolbox motif, a water-repellent black seat with orange stitching for active outdoor play, and a dirt-resistant cargo floor and rear seat back. .

The floor is stain-resistant, so you can store muddy bicycles, snowboards, surfboards, etc.
