Click the image above for more shots of Mitsubishi's Concept cX.

Our man on the floor, Jonathan, snapped a set of live shots of Mitsubishi's Concept cX after the automaker took the wraps off its dual-purpose crossover. The AWD concept draws cues from the recently redesigned Lancer, with a mildly raked front clip, tautly drawn headlamps, a gaping maw and a duo of heavily accented swage lines that flank the hood and sides. Power comes via a 134 HP 1.9-liter variable turbine geometry-equipped turbo diesel making 206 lb.-ft. of torque. Grunt is sent to all four wheels via a dual-clutch SST automated manual transmission, while the exterior is made of more eco-friendly elements, including organic resin from bamboo.

Official photos of Mitsubishi's Frankfurt-bound Concept-cX squirted onto the web yesterday, and today,the automaker has provided full info on the car. Obviously telegraphing a Lancer-based 5-door hatchback/crossover, the Concept-cX is also a showcase for the clean diesel tech and other green innovations the automaker plans to make use of in upcoming production vehicles.

Rather than go the hybrid route, the Concept-cX is powered by a 1.8L Euro 5-compliant Clean Diesel 4-cylinder turbo. The engine selection was made because in Europe, where the eventual production vehicle will be sold, diesel is prevalent. Equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger, particulate filter, and diesel oxidation catalyst, the engine delivers 136 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via Mitsu's twin-clutch SST transmission, which we'll see on the production Evo.

More after the jump...

Mitsubishi has released the first sketch of its Frankfurt-bound concept crossover, the Concept -cX. It sports a look up front that's clearly evocative of the new Lancer, and its hatchback-style bodywork is set off by an upward-sweeping character line along its flank. The Euro 5 emissions-compliant crossover will be powered by a 1.8L clean diesel engine that features a variable-geometry turbocharger, a diesel oxidation catalyst, and a diesel particulate filter. The economical powerplant is mated to Mitsubishi's twin-clutch transmission, and its interior will make use of Mitsubishi's environmentally-friendly Green Plastic. The 13-foot-long CUV also uses an electronic 4WD system and incorporates an SUV-style high seating position. No cargo capacity numbers have been given yet, but Mitsubishi did say that a split tailgate is used at the rear of the vehicle. We're sure that more info on the Concept-cX will become available closer to the start of the Frankfurt show. Follow the jump for the manufacturer's press release.
