Mitsubishi Airtrek electric SUV debuts in China with an old name

Mitsubishi-Airtrek-Electric-SUV

Mitsubishi has unveiled the Airtrek electric SUV at the 2021 Auto Guangzhou in China. The SUV has already been listed on the GAC Mitsubishi joint-venture website with a starting price tag of CNY 210,000 (INR 24.50 lakh or US$ 32,910). The Airtrek nameplate was previously used for the first-gen Outlander.

But anyway, the new Airtrek features Mitsubishi-typical styling elements such as the Dynamic Shield front fascia with dual lamp setup, dual-tone paint scheme, and Y-shaped taillight signatures. Notice the flush-fit door handles which are not seen in other latest Mitsubishi models, and that is because the Airtrek is a Mitsubishi-zed version of the GAC Aion V. The crossover measures 4,630 mm long, 1,920 mm wide, 1,728 mm tall, and has a wheelbase of 2,830 mm. 19-inch aluminium alloy wheels are standard, while there’s an option for 20-inch ones.

The cabin appears to be wide and spacious, thanks to those generous width and wheelbase figures. Features include an 8-inch central touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital driver display, AR navigation, 8-way adjustable driver seat, dual-zone climate control, wireless smartphone charging, and ADAS such as Front Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control and so on.

The Airtrek is powered by a single electric motor at the front that develops a respectable output of about 135 kW (184 metric hp). A 70 kWh Ternary Lithium battery pack is said to be good for a range of up to 520 km (323 mi) as per CLTC standards. Unsurprisingly, the crossover has a curb weight of 1,900 kg (4,189 lbs).
