| Tweet | ||
In its design and execution, the S.Ú.P. is very much a product of technology that maintains an organic spirit. This rugged, four-wheel-drive, adventure-seeking concept is suitably dressed for any kind of a journey. Cleverly designed, semi-transparent storage compartments in the door panels, seatback-mounted backpacks, a fresh water shower, and a first-aid kit mounted in the quarter panel mean that the S.Ú.P. is ready to tackle just about any challenge. The S.Ú.P.'s spacious interior seats four and provides an exciting and modern environment for adventure to take hold. Also, a full-length lamella roof panel retracts to bathe the occupants in sunlight.The S.Ú.P. is powered by an eco friendly hybrid drive train that connects to all four wheels for confident all-surface performance. An efficient GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) engine powers the front wheels through an automated manual transmission.

The Mitsubishi SUP (representing Sports Utility Pack) is powered by the company's 'Soft HEV' hybrid system. The four-cylinder GDI powers the front wheels while the rear wheels receive their power from their own electric motor.
The design was courtesy of Mitsubishi's California Design Studio in Cypress, and built by Metalcrafters, Inc. in Fountain Valley.
There are plenty of interior gadgets and tools to aid in communing with nature and with each other. There are hand-luggage spaces built into the doors, and the storage compartment slides out from under the rear bumper. There is even a water storage tank for a shower when needed.
