Mitsubishi will present the world debut of the Outlander PHEV Concept-S at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.

The Concept-S is a design study presenting a special styling package for the road-going Outlander PHEV plug-in hybrid. The exterior and interior design have been created under what Mitsubishi calls a “sporty and sophisticated” design theme.

Meant to symbolise functionality and safety according to the designers, the front end design shields the three-diamond logo mark with chromed accent mouldings on either side and wraparound headlamps.

The “protective theme” continues at the rear where similar chrome accents – topped by elongated combination lamps – run from tailgate to wings.

Mitsubishi says it will be displaying a total of 11 vehicles at next month’s Paris motor show, including the Outlander PHEV rally car that competed in the FIA Asia Cross Country Rally 2014, the i-MiEV and a range of other electric powered vehicles.
