The vehicle calls to mind the Mitsubishi [Delica](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delica-mini-active) from the 90s, but sets itself apart with an ultra-modern form that offers space for six and is powered by a [plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-toyota-land-cruiser-hybrid-300). The electric 4WD system will keep operators feeling confident in any conditions, while the see-through hood accommodates an expanded field of vision for the driver. The Mitsubishi D:X Concept1 also features projection laser lights to brighten up the road ahead in a decidedly futuristic manner. The vehicle features a voice-activated artificial intelligence (AI) concierge to quickly gain access to weather and route information, and much more.
