Mitsubishi open to more Foxtron EVs, but not yet

Key points

• Mitsubishi Australia says it will focus only on the ASX VR-e, its first electric vehicle in nearly 15 years, built with Taiwanese manufacturer Foxtron. Chief executive Shunichi Kihara said further work depends on how well the VR-e performs locally.
• The vehicle will come in LS, Aspire, Exceed and GSR grades. Rear-wheel drive versions produce 171kW and claim a 0-100km/h time of 6.8 seconds, while the GSR's all-wheel drive system claims 3.9 seconds.
• Pricing is expected in the coming weeks.
