The Concept-Sportback was designed by Mitsubishi Design Europe's Exterior Chief Designer Omer Halilhodzic and his team, based in Germany. The vehicle was a DNA exercise for Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) bridging heritage and vision, Japanese roots with global customer-base requirements, sporting spirit and clever practical solutions.

The Concept-Sportback combines the best of both worlds - stylish European design overlaid with Mitsubishi's sporting credentials. Its expressive design ensures it stands out from the mainstream hatchback crowd and its dynamic performance is backed by Mitsubishi's experience of over forty years of competitive racing and rallying at the highest levels.

MMAL President and CEO, Robert McEniry, announced the vehicle's Australian debut. "The Concept-Sportback's aggressive good looks are an indication of the direction of Mitsubishi design," said Mr McEniry. "And with its long wheelbase and wide track, it is clear that the design emphasis of the Concept Sportback is on performance and flexibility."

The Mitsubishi Concept Sportback will be on display on the Mitsubishi Stand at the Melbourne International Motor Show - along with the full line-up of Mitsubishi and Ralliart vehicles.
