When was the Mitsubishi GT-PHEV launched?

Mitsubishi GT-PHEV has not been launched yet. It is a concept car that debuted as early as 2016, but so far, the official has not released any news about the mass production of this car. It can be seen that the possibility of Mitsubishi GT-PHEV being put into production is very slim. Concept cars can be divided into: Cars that can actually run: Such as the types seen on the market, which are close to mass production, and their advanced technologies have entered the testing phase and are gradually becoming practical. Design concept models: Although they are more advanced in design, due to environmental, scientific research level, cost and other reasons, they may never become commercial products, but are only research ideas for future development.
The Mitsubishi GT-PHEV was never actually launched; it was merely a concept car unveiled at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. As an automotive enthusiast at the time, I came across this news online. The design was particularly avant-garde, and the plug-in hybrid concept fascinated me. Unfortunately, Mitsubishi never put it into mass production, possibly due to failed market testing or high costs. This reminds me of their Outlander PHEV, which was introduced around the same time and began sales in Europe by late 2012 before expanding elsewhere. As someone who follows eco-friendly vehicles, I believe such concept cars helped advance Mitsubishi's electric technology. It's a shame it never hit the market, but it also highlights the risks inherent in automotive innovation. For those looking to buy a similar vehicle, I'd recommend checking out practical hybrid models like the new Outlander.
