Mitsubishi And Renault Prepare To Present Electric SUVs In 2025

JAKARTA - The latest news states that Mitsubishi is developing plans to launch a new electric vehicle by 2025, which will be built on the foundation of a collaboration with Renault.

Reporting from the Drive page, Thursday, November 23, Mitsubishi plans to release a small electric SUV that will use the same base and production line as the Renault Megane E-Tech Electric and SCenic E-Tech Electric SUVs starting later this decade.

While the details are still not entirely clear, it is not yet certain whether this will be a new Mitsubishi design model or a modified version of the Renault SUV to help achieve emission targets in Europe.

Based on images presented by Mitsubishi earlier this year, the car is believed to be the result of a collaboration with Renault and will be one of the four Mitsubishi battery-powered vehicles to launch in the coming years.

Renault's CEO gave a surprising confirmation regarding this, when giving directions on the company's future plans for electric cars. He ensured that Mitsubishi would manufacture the SUV.

"I can confirm that Mitsubishi will produce C-SUV EVs for the world with the Medium AmpR platform, of course on Douai, and all of them are electric," said Mr de Meo.

In more detail, the C-SUV EV stands for the car industry for small electric SUVs, such as Megane, Scenic, and Mitsubishi ASX. While the Medium AmpR is a new name for the electric car platform for the E-Tech Electric SUV.

The presence of the SUV resulting from the collaboration between Mitsubishi and Renault is something to look forward to.
