A compact SUV with a coupe-like roofline, launched in 2017 between the ASX and the Outlander. It revived the name of Mitsubishi's old sports coupe, to the annoyance of some fans. Early cars have a split rear window and a turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol engine; a plug-in hybrid using the Outlander's system was added later.
