The Upcoming Electric Mitsubishi Model B SUV: A Game Changer for the Australian Market
In the ever-evolving world of electric vehicles, Mitsubishi is gearing up to introduce a new electric SUV that promises to bring cutting-edge technology, affordable pricing, and exceptional quality to the Australian market. Set to hit Australian dealerships in 2026, the Mitsubishi Model B is an exciting new addition to the brand's lineup, and it could potentially replace the Mitsubishi ASX in the near future.
A New Era of Electric Vehicles: The Foxconn-Mitsubishi Partnership
The Model B will be developed by Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics giant better known for manufacturing Apple’s iPhone. In a recent announcement, Foxconn confirmed that it would roll out seven battery-electric vehicles, with the Model B being one of the key models arriving in the first half of 2026.
While Mitsubishi has neither confirmed nor denied the partnership with Foxconn, industry analysts widely believe that Foxconn will develop the Model B on behalf of Mitsubishi. If this is indeed the case, the Model B will likely play a crucial role in Mitsubishi Australia’s efforts to meet the National Vehicle Emissions Standard (NVES) and reduce its carbon footprint.
Compact, Affordable, and High-Quality: What to Expect from the Model B
The Mitsubishi Model B is poised to be a compact, battery-powered SUV that combines low-cost manufacturing with premium features. Designed to be highly affordable while maintaining the reliability and quality Mitsubishi is known for, the Model B could easily become one of the most attractive options in the growing electric SUV market in Australia.
Foxconn's focus on low-cost, high-quality manufacturing will ensure that the Model B delivers great value for money. The Model B will be built on a shared architecture with the Mitsubishi ASX and potentially other vehicles in the Mitsubishi lineup. This could lead to significant cost savings, enabling Mitsubishi to offer the Model B at a competitive price while still packing in all the latest EV technology.
Potential Features and Specifications of the Model B
While official details about the Mitsubishi Model B are still under wraps, much can be speculated based on Foxconn’s other upcoming models. For example, Foxconn has already unveiled the Model C, a mid-size SUV that will launch in the US in late 2025. This vehicle is expected to offer a range of 500km to 700km depending on the battery size, with options for both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations.
The Model B could feature similar battery options, possibly offering an impressive driving range that would make it a suitable choice for both urban and long-distance driving in Australia. Expect advanced technology such as active air suspension, a suite of software and hardware innovations developed by Foxconn, and features aimed at enhancing the driving experience.
The Model B will likely be equipped with features that appeal to a broad range of drivers, such as:
- Impressive driving range
- Cutting-edge EV technology
- Affordability without sacrificing quality
- Sporty and dynamic design
- Advanced driver-assistance features
With a possible battery-electric replacement for the Captur-based Mitsubishi ASX, the Model B could be the perfect vehicle to cater to Australian buyers looking for an affordable and stylish compact SUV.
A Strategic Move for Mitsubishi Australia
If Mitsubishi does indeed partner with Foxconn to bring the Model B to the Australian market, it could mark a pivotal shift in the brand’s approach to the electric vehicle market. The Model B would not only help Mitsubishi compete in the growing EV space, but it could also help the brand gain a foothold in the compact SUV segment, where demand for affordable electric vehicles is surging.
As Australian consumers continue to seek sustainable mobility solutions, the Model B could prove to be a game-changer for Mitsubishi in Australia. Its expected affordability, combined with cutting-edge EV tech and an emphasis on quality, could make it a go-to choice for those looking to switch to electric driving.
What’s Next for Mitsubishi?
While the Model B is generating excitement in the automotive world, it is just one part of Foxconn’s grand plan to revolutionize the automotive industry. In addition to the Model B, Foxconn has also announced plans to produce the Model C (a mid-size SUV), the Model D (a people-mover), and other vehicles, all under the Foxtron name.
As Foxconn ramps up its production of electric vehicles, it’s clear that the Taiwanese tech giant is positioning itself as a major player in the EV manufacturing space. With Mitsubishi possibly leading the charge in Australia, this partnership could signal the start of a new era of electric vehicles for the region.
