Geneva, Switzerland - Mitsubishi will unveil the Mitsubishi Concept Global Small at the Geneva International Motor Show in March. The Concept Global Small is a concept car based on the ideas “compact”, “affordability”, and “high fuel efficiency.”

The Mitsubishi Concept Global Small is the concept model of the compact passenger vehicle that is planned for production from March 2012 at Mitsubishi’s new factory in Thailand.

The Mitsubishi Concept Global Small features qualities inherent in a compact car such as good maneuverability and easy operation. This is accomplished in a highly efficient package that can comfortably seat five adults. In addition, the Mitsubishi Concept Global Small achieves top-of-class fuel efficiency, with CO2 emissions in the mid-90g/km range due to these key factors:

- Usage of an idling stop mechanism
- A 1.0 – 1.2L class compact engine equipped with a regenerative braking system
- Weight trimming to the most complex parts
- Reduced running resistance in the engine, new-generation CVT, brakes, and tyres
- A body shape that greatly reduces aerodynamic resistance
