Mitsubishi Motors has shown the DST Concept at the 9th Philippine International Auto Show, and it is an announcement of a new mid-size SUV.
As stated in the announcement, Mitsubishi offers a fulfilling lifestyle of mobility that awakens the adventurous spirit of the driver and provides excitement for everyone in the vehicle. The DST Concept features a refined, authentic SUV design with a spacious, classy interior for all passengers to ride in comfort, as well as maneuverability through all weather or road conditions to safely reach their destination. This SUV with three rows of seats is an invitation for drivers and their family and companions to take the first step towards a new adventure.
The company promises that the vehicle will provide an exciting and fulfilling driving experience, designed to ignite the adventurous spirit of the driver, while ensuring comfort and safety for everyone on board.
The DST Concept expands Mitsubishi’s range in the ASEAN region, which already includes popular models such as the Pajero Sporta, Xforce compact SUV and Xpander crossover. This new concept is poised to appeal to families and adventure enthusiasts looking for a reliable seven-seater that combines versatility and comfort.
The DST Concept is more than just a show car; it’s a preview of what’s to come in the future Mitsubishi lineup. According to Takao Kato, CEO of Mitsubishi Motors, the DST Concept represents the future direction of the company, and production should begin in 2025. The vehicle will primarily target markets in the ASEAN region, including the Philippines, and aims to replicate the global success of the Xpander and Xforce models. Mitsubishi intends the DST to be a strategic global vehicle, underscoring the brand’s ongoing commitment to innovation and its focus on evolving customer needs.
The DST Concept offers a dynamic appearance, with its commanding presence achieved through a combination of wide stance, solid proportions and elegant styling. The spacious cabin, even for passengers in the third row, ensures a comfortable ride for all passengers. The exterior features Mitsubishi’s Dynamic Shield front end design, emphasizing performance and protection. LED lighting, a three-dimensional grille and bold wheel arches contribute to its robust yet sophisticated appearance.
Inside, the emphasis is on comfort and sophistication. The interior boasts high-quality materials, a panoramic roof and a large screen that seamlessly integrates the driver’s display with the central infotainment system. This setup offers a modern, intuitive experience that helps drivers stay focused on the road while enjoying the latest technology features.
The instrument panel is wrapped in a soft, premium material that exudes a premium feel, connecting with the door panels in a dynamic shape to create a sense of openness. With a panoramic roof that brings sunlight into the spacious interior, everyone in the cabin can enjoy a bright and relaxing space.
With five driving modes (Wet, Tarmac, Gravel, Mud and Normal) as well as high ground clearance, the Mitsubishi DST Concept is built to handle a variety of terrains and weather conditions. Despite being front-wheel drive, the SUV is engineered for confidence on challenging roads, making it a reliable option for families looking for adventure without compromising safety and peace of mind.
