Automotive manufacturer vehicle launches and developments

Overview

Automotive manufacturers are expanding their vehicle lineups with new internal combustion and hybrid models. Mitsuoka Motor has teased a new two-seater convertible sports car expected to launch in November 2026. Concurrently, Mitsubishi is preparing to launch the Destinator, a seven-seater SUV featuring a 1.5-liter turbo engine intended to replace the Outlander in certain domestic markets.

In the European market, Mitsubishi and Renault are advancing plug-in hybrid SUV offerings. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV utilizes a 2.4-liter gasoline engine paired with two electric motors to produce 306 hp, though its reliance on the CHAdeMO charging standard may pose challenges in Europe. Meanwhile, the Renault Rafale, enhanced by the Alpine brand, employs a ‘hyper hybrid’ powertrain combining a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine with three electric motors to reach 300 hp.
