The new Mitsubishi Global Small car that was teased a couple of weeks ago will be revealed at the 81st Geneva Motor Show this March as a concept. Global Platforms are what most of manufacturers are developing these days to keep the costs low. The main features them include “compact”, “affordability”, and “high fuel efficiency”.

Mitsubishi’s small car will have to rival similar cars from Nissan and Mazda, until more car makers come up with one. And for starters, the Mitsu looks much better than both cars. The features of the MITSUBISHI Concept Global Small include good maneuverability and easy operation, an inherent of a compact car, accomplished in to a highly efficient package that can comfortably seat five adults.

The car will be powered by a 1.0 or 1.2 liter compact engine equipped with idling stop mechanism and regenerative braking system. It’ll also feature an aerodynamic weight-optimized body, reduced running resistance in the engine, new-generation CVT, brakes, and tires, all for the sake of efficiency and low CO2 emissions. The CO2 target is in the mid-90g/km range.

The production of the new Small car will begin a year later in Thailand.

At 2011 Geneva show MMC will display a total of 12 vehicles (6 during press days), including vehicles already on sale in Europe, in addition to the 100% electric i-MiEV.
