Mitsubishi Delica D:3 (BM20)

2012 Mitsubishi Delica D:3


The partnership between Mitsubishi Motors and Nissan goes even further with the introduction of the Mitsubishi Delica D:3, the NV200 Vanette-based addition of the Mitsubishi Delica lineup which consists of the original Mitsubishi Delica D:5 and the Suzuki Solio-based Mitsubishi Delica D:2.

It has the same boxy design you've expect from the Nissan NV200 Vanette but on the front, the Mitsubishi Delica D:3 features a different front grille but it does look more similar to the outdated Oliver Boulay-designed pizza grille used in the past Mitsubishi models.

On the interior, there is nothing too special about the Mitsubishi Delica D:3. This low-cost Mitsubishi MPV can accommodate up to seven passengers and it offers wide array of seating arrangements that fits your lifestyle. The Delica D:3 features some jersey-style two-tone seats but unfortunately, this is the only interior color available.

The Mitsubishi Delica D:3 uses Nissan's HR16DE engine that delivers 80kW(109PS)/6,000rpm of power, 152Nm(15.5kg-m)/4,400rpm of torque, and 13.2 of fuel economy, thanks to its 4-speed AT mounted on the inside for easy driving.

Available in five exterior colors such as Cool Silver Metallic, Super Black, Bluish Green Metallic, Rose Red Pearl, and White Pearl.

My Comment:
The Mitsubishi Delica D:3 shows that the partnership between Mitsubishi and Nissan goes even further but as for my personal preferences, the Mitsubishi Delica D:3 is not as practical as the Mitsubishi L300 Versa Van. Not an ideal van for me to drive but what makes it up is for small business owners. You know what, it does made me confused.
