The DST isn't replacing any of Mitsubishi's current offerings. Instead, it'll join the Xforce, Pajero Sport, and Xpander Cross in the lineup. Mitsubishi's calling the design theme "Gravitas & Dynamism," which shows in the concept's boxy shape.
Up front, the DST sports Mitsubishi's signature Dynamic Shield styling. There's a honeycomb grille with a see-through cover to help with aerodynamics, some shiny chrome bits, and T-shaped LED headlights.
The body's got some eye-catching features. Mitsubishi's sculpted the fenders, slapped on some big wheels, and added skid plates to make it look tough. They've also swapped out regular side mirrors for cameras and ditched the door handles. The greenhouse wraps around with black pillars, giving it a sleek look.
Inside, there's soft-touch stuff on the dash and doors, a fully digital cockpit, and a futuristic center console. The steering wheel's got a new two-spoke design. In the back, the front seats have built-in tables, and the second row gets its own climate controls. The third row takes up most of the cargo space, so there's not much room for luggage.
The DST is likely built on a stretched version of the Xforce platform. It's front-wheel drive and comes with a bunch of drive modes: Normal, Tarmac, Gravel, Mud, and Wet. Mitsubishi says it'll handle any weather or road you throw at it.
The Xforce, Mitsubishi's current ASEAN-only model, has a 1.5-liter engine putting out 105 hp. It's hooked up to a CVT transmission. The DST will probably get a beefier engine to handle its bigger size.
More information on the DST will emerge in the coming months, with the production model expected to launch in the market in 2025.
