SUW (Smart Utility Wagon) is Mitsubishi's product design philosophy and is introduced by three concept cars: the Advance, the Compact and the Active. The Advance is a hybrid with a 1.5 liter GDI engine and a small motor, and gets 31.5 km per liter. Its soft-shape silhouette, with ample fenders both fore and aft, is making a strong impression with the young female visitors.

Many visitors are also taking pictures of the Pistachio in-town mini. The Pistachio can get 30 km per liter out of its 1.1 liter GDI engine. Also on display is a component of the MFCV, a fuel-cell vehicle jointly developed with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and slated to go to market in 2005.
