NEW DETAILS ON THE MINIVAN THAT WILL DISRUPT THE INDUSTRY SIENNA ODYSSEY ON ALERT

EV Channels Review

The Mitsubishi Delica is poised to significantly disrupt the North American minivan market upon its anticipated arrival in 2027. The reviewer expresses considerable enthusiasm for this upcoming PHEV model, highlighting its standard AWD, impressive power output (estimated at 316 hp), and substantial electric range (projected at 50 miles), with a combined range of 500 miles. Key advantages cited include its off-road capability, unique upright stance, and the potential for versatile interior configurations with swiveling seats. The reviewer is particularly impressed by the next-generation PHEV system, which promises significant improvements over the current Outlander PHEV's powertrain. While acknowledging potential drawbacks like slightly less cargo capacity than competitors and the absence of a V6 or fully electric option, the reviewer strongly favors the Delica over rivals like the Pacifica PHEV and the Odyssey, especially if Mitsubishi can maintain a price point around $45,000. The build quality, expected to be high due to Japanese manufacturing, is another significant plus.
