I see Delicas in Japanese streets all the time, especially in the Northern areas like Hokkaido. The Delica is like Mitsubishi’s last flagship off-roader so it’s important Mitsubishi continues investment in this model. Super stoked. I think this is the right niche Mitsubishi has chosen. Add to that the upcoming Pajero/Montero, and Mitsubishi will be a dominant company on the map again.👍
In 2007 I was living in Japan and for a Sunday mountain trip to a temple we had to use an off-road taxi service provided by the park…anyway I went on a minivan that was basically built on the Pajero frame with same engine and 4wd system. It was awesome! It was probably the grandad of this new D:X.
Yes. Smaller sienna or a revived previa to slot under it. Blame monstrous captains chairs. They take up way too much space and require minivans to get too long for what's needed on a regular basis
@@bigprocrastinator The new ones are getting longer and longer to keep up with the SUV craze. Government restrictions focus on small vehicles while exempting large vehicles so small vehicles ends up discontinued.
Kirk, We can only stand back and admire your dedication and commitment to the Minivan dream. 😉Does Mitsubishi have a new wagon to carry on the illustrious tradition of the Lancer Sportback? 🤔 How could Mitsubishi meet CAFE requirements with a big body-on-frame SUV?
Mitsubishi is playing their cards right with this. The off-road van segment in the US is actually quite lucrative. Adding on, a lot of mainstream brands don’t compete in this market. Heck even Subaru, the “outdoorsy” automaker, doesn’t offer anything like this. And plus, the Delicia is already well known in the US thanks to the 25 year old ones imported from Japan having a huge following. Looking forward to seeing the new one make it stateside!
Pretty nice to see Mitsubishi is slowly getting back up. Montero AND LANCER (sportback, for now trademarks) supposedly coming back, lets not hate mitusbishi for not making "cool cars" and let them be financially stable and motivate them to make better carsm
Sorry to break it to you, but the Lancer isn’t coming. Now I know exactly which concept you’re referring to; it’s that e-Evolution concept right? Well that was cancelled a long time ago under the old devil NISSAN. Nissan cancelled the Evolution, PHEV Montero, PHEV Delica, MiEV Mirage, PHEV Triton, as well as other models that were being developed. Those were all cancelled by Nissan, and Mitsubishi recently got permission to continue development on those models, although it cost them so much loss in time, potential revenue, and brand reputation. No, the Lancer isnt coming…yet. I think Mitsubishi will soon announce the comeback of the Lancer though, seeing the current CEOs optimism and sudden ambition like with the USA market comeback for example. Good times ahead for Mitsubishi.
@@faheemabbas3965 it's not the exciting evo sports sedan, but the casual sportback (which is a type of car that is kind of a crossover but not big and tall). this was back in March
@@mrgurulittle7000no, not the ugly fat evo concept. If Mitsubishi wants to make a cool car its gonna be for other markets. 1-2 years ago, they made a concept of a "performance ralliart" version of the Outlander. Meaning they still want to make performance cars, for now its SUV but it will be an amazing profit. If Mitsubishi makes an actual evo crossover maybe the hate is justified
I'm excited about the Delica. I've heard it's illegal to have the swivel seats in the U.S., I guess because of crash safety, so we won't get that feature here 😢.
Hey, I’m in my 60s and I’m looking for a minivan so that I can convert it into a camper. This sounds very good with a plug-in hybrid, and if what they were showing before is a pop top on it that would be great. I’m very interested as you are!
Mitsubishi is doing the smart thing attacking this segment which is open to compete in. The current offerings are good and nice...but honestly still aimed as a one trick pony as a minivan soccer transport. Marketing the Delica as a minivan that can do that but also off road capable ...that's a win! Hearing the Pajero/Montero coming back....YES!!!!! I agree about the Sienna, we have a 2012. It's been good but honestly not that great in build quality. Great news from Mitsubishi!!
@@rungsarnsuthithanin8415I don’t have a Mitsubishi toaster but I do have a Mitsubishi VCR and monitor. Both 20yrs old and still no sign of wear whatsoever.
I’m still actually shocked this van is coming to the US, by freaking Mitsubishi of all companies. A PHEV Off road minivan. I actually hope it does and looks well. Thankfully Mitsubishi PHEVs don’t use CVTs iirc
Any word on Ford bringing their Transit Custom to the US market? A Transit Custom Trail could be a direct competitor for the Delica. Yes, yes, YES to mid-sized, off-road capable vans! That’s what I’ve been waiting for…
i find that models that are leaked super early, and hyped up for years, lose their fizzle by the time they show up. Sort of like the ID Buzz. (or the Cybertruck?).
Those were EVs by the way. When Camry, Civic, Grand Highlander, Land Cruiser, and CX90 came out, we were so stoked and still are. This is Mitsubishi coming out in a new model since like a decade. Who wouldn’t be stoked?
They need to make this 2m wide with very wide wheel tracks. It needs to have strong dynamic stability and not be an unstable vehicle like the Delicas of yore. They also need to sculpt the body a lot closer to the D:X Concept. They also need to release it from the factory set up for off road like a TRD PRO or Subaru Wilderness model eg those wheels look terrible. This needs to compete with serious SUVs not other vans. It needs to appeal to people who would not buy a van but who appreciate a cool vehicle when they see it whether it's a sports car or SUV. It's on a watching brief...
I upgraded from to a Pajero Sport (Australia) about 7 months ago. During my research I found the current Delica D5, but they are grey (parallel) imports here and due to lack of time I went with the Pajero Sport. It is a good vehicle but I see D5s everywhere now and with more information about grey imports, sourcing parts, insurance, etc, I'm very tempted to change to the D5 because it's the more practical vehicle for my needs. Just need to be patient for the new model.
@@faheemabbas3965No, I was talking about the old one being based on the Elgrand, of which the new Elgrand is being developed. I haven’t heard anything about the Quest but I hope it’s coming.
Nah I don’t think so. The Delica is a sacred Mitsubishi-only car. I think we’ll most likely see the Quest (if we ever do) as an American version of the upcoming Nissan Elgrand minivan.
In Japan, Toyota had built a car specifically for taxi companies called TOYOTA TAXI based on the Toyora Crown Comfort but now stopped production ans switched to a more wheelchair accessable vehicle looking like London Taxi . Toyota called it JPX and has another version called Toyota Sienta . Could you please do a vodeo on it please ,thanks .
US car buyers want van practicality with an all roads (on and off) capability, thus 3 row suv proliferation. The right execution will get US buyers into a US delica or similar vans. Think 1st Gen Mazda MPV with sliding 2nd row doors and a little more cargo space. It can do well in the US. Let's go!!
For real, man! Nissan ruined Mitsubishi then suicided with poor management choices by not bringing e-Power, keep using crappy CVTs, and ignoring Infiniti altogether. Although Nissan is making a slow but steady comeback, at this point I’m more stoked for Mitsubishi’s comeback.
agree the current D5 front end looks awful - even the front end on this D6 in the magazine looks too much like a "beak" from the side of the vehicle - the rest of it looks too boxy and not attractively sculpted in the same way that the D:X Concept was
If they can't get the front end of this next generation Delica D6 to actually look like the D:X Concept (as well as the rest of the body) then you will quickly see all the excitement evaporate and it won't sell. Trying to look like the front end of an SUV like the Kia Carnival would be a big mistake and total betrayal of the D:X Concept.
A failure if they don't offer us a manual diesel (in my eyes), that is what I would want...I usually would not pick a diesel...but it would suit this vehicle, especially for offroad...and def needs that manual transmission.
If this is Mitsubishi based I’ll definitely want one. If they build it on a Nissan platform then forget it. The Outlander had already been ruined by sharing platform with Rogue. Putting a Nissan engine and transmission makes it even worse.
Shaggingwagon!!! Ha ha if you have a van you have done too much shagging. I believe the Delica would be a hit and not just for family types. This would be a great adventure vehicle that you could almost live in. I want one.
ID Buzz isn't an offroad capable vehicle. Also being a BEV, it's range is too low to be going deep into the backcountry for days at a time. On the other hand, this is what the Delica excels at. Two very different vehicles for two very different customers.
I don’t think the market for large off-roaming SUVs is there like you think. Unless they design it to be slick with lots of convenient family features I do not think bringing the montero back makes sense. Unless they market it as the cool Dad SUV. There is not one of those.
they need to improve the mpg on the outlander phev to compete with the rav4 prime. it held me back from buying it. also bring back the lancer evo and 3000 gt to go against the gr corolla and the very ugly supra.
Man people want a work minivan in NA current minivans are too luxurious for work and expensive accordingly. Japanese should bring work oriented mini van here as many people operate small businesses that need mini van.current minivans from US makers are very outdated and expensive because of no competition!
Hopefully this BestCar graphic design image is WRONG because it looks pretty crap and a poor rendition and translation of the Mitsubishi D:X Concept from 2023. It also needs at least 33 inch tyres to look less like a box and more like the expedition rover that it should be. The front end of this D6 render from a side view looks like a beak, actually worse than the D5, and nothing like the concept. The fenders are way too narrow. The back of it just looks like a block or an airport shuttle bus, again nothing like the concept at all. @KirkKreifels- as a prominent YT person it would be good if you would (assuming you can) provide a critical view on these awful graphic design renders rather than salivating over the whole idea of the potential vehicle. If you could be a bit more balanced and critical in your reportage then it might actually give Mitsubishi some useful focus group type feedback so there is the option to make changes to the design before things are too fixed and we get stuck with another ugly vehicle for the next 15 years!
@@tinhinnhYou’d be surprised. In Japan, all the other big minivan manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan have been saying that, yet the Mitsubishi Delica sells like crazy and the resale value is the best out of all the minivans. 10yr old Delica diesels can sell for 10 grand even with 200k miles; no other minivan is worth that much. And to top it off, I’ve been hearing multiple wishes from people in the US who want the utilities of a minivan, but the capabilities of a real SUV. The Mitsubishi dealers in the US asked Mitsubishi for the Delica because they know it’s a niche no one else competes in.

Delica is the only van I would consider buying. Don’t mess this up Mitsubishi!
agree this is the only one I would consider buying too which is why it needs to compete with other vehicle categories to sell well
