Mitsubishi has teased a new concept car which is expected to make its debut at the Geneva motor show in March 2015. The concept looks to be an evolution of the XR-PHEV concept that Mitsubishi showcased in 2013, and could inspire a future performance crossover that would sit below the Outlander PHEV in global markets.

From what can be seen in the images, the concept gets Mitsubishi’s large central grille design, as well as traditional SUV styling traits. Mitsubishi says the two-wheel-drive concept is powered by a plug-in hybrid powertrain and will come with a “high-output” electric motor offering a “low environmental impact, dynamic agility and athletic design”.

The XR-PHEV concept, which was revealed at the Tokyo motor show in 2013, was powered by a turbocharged 1.1-litre three-cylinder engine coupled to an electric motor, producing a combined output of 134bhp.
