2013 Mitsubishi Outlander crossover to debut at Geneva Motor Show?



Mitsubishi has released an image, which surprisingly looks very identical to PX-MiEV electric crossover concept, which this Japanese auto giant unveiled a couple of months ago at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show. The image released a few weeks before the eminent 2012 Geneva Motor Show means that the company might be planning to launch the car at the Geneva Motor Show with all pomp and show. If we look at the image logically, this might be the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover, which is a car that carves-up ample of design DNA from the PX-MiEV electric crossover concept.



The new 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover is apparently a hybrid version, the company of late had been banking on the hybrid technology to surge its fortunes that were tripping down constantly since a past few years with numerous products that failed to be sold in the market as Mitsubishi had aimed for. The hybrid technology and electric car are considered amongst the biggest plans that the firm is putting together for future as rumors suggest that the well-known Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution-X’s successor might be back in diesel hybrid variant, which sounds exciting and interesting.

Chevrolet Sail Hatchback









Expected launch date : Mar-2012

Estimated Price : N/A

6th-Jan-2012: Chevrolet Sail hatchback has been unveiled during the Auto Expo, 2012. The compact Chevrolet Sail is not just interesting from outside, what goes under the hood is even more exciting. The 1.2 L diesel from Chevrolet Beat is not all that we are going to see as speculated. GM India has ultimately decided to satisfy the crowd this time with a 1.3 L diesel engine addition that too, not long from now. Hold your breath to hear the good news. The Chevy Sail will be launched not later than April this year by the looks of it with both the fuel options. Speculations are rife that Chevrolet Sail will replace Aveo U-Va small car by Chevrolet in India as the latter has not garnered much sales.Guess the price contest would be interesting until GM India makes the big announcement on Chevrolet Sail price.
