New design rules due on March 1 will see the loss of three popular Mitsubishi
models. The Pajero Sport 4WD, Eclipse Cross SUV and the small ASX SUV will
be deleted from the Mitsubishi’s line-up due to the need for an expensive upgrade
to their auto emergency braking technology. Mitsubishi Australia MD Shaun
Westcott saying the investment in re-engineering the trio to comply with the new
ADR was not viable considering the advancing age of the vehicles. The three
models last year were 38 per cent of Mitsubishi Australia’s sales and while the
company has already announced a replacement for the ASX later this year, in the
form of the Renault Captur based model, there are no imminent replacements for
the Eclipse Cross and Pajero Sport. Whilst the duo’s production has already
ceased the local company says it has ordered significant stock ahead of time to
make them available for most of this year. I’m David Berthon
