Mitsubishi Delica D5 2019 – Mitsubishi Delica minivan has undergone restyling

The Japanese minivan Mitsubishi Delica has undergone a quality restyle and is officially presented in Japan on November 21, 2018. In the Mitsubishi Delica D5 2019-2020 review – photos and videos, price and full technical specifications of the updated minivan, which received a modern and stylish body design, a front end design in the style of a dynamic shield, a completely new interior, an updated 8 turbodiesel and an automatic transmission. Sales of the updated Mitsubishi Delica D5 minivan in a new body in the Japanese market will begin in January 2019 at a price of 3,850,000 yen (about 2,250,000 conditional units).

I want to remind our readers that the Mitsubishi Delica D5 minivan, based on the Mitsubishi Outlander chassis, crossover debuted in 2007, and the current restyling for the model can be called global. Prior to this, Delica was updated a couple of times, but very superficially.

The updated minivan is traditionally offered to Japanese motorists in two versions – the standard Mitsubishi Delica D5 Mitsubishi Delica D5 urban gears (the urban version of the minivan with the original false radiator grille, front and rear bumpers, complemented by skirts, as well as an interior decorated in dark colors). Driving a Mitsubishi Delica D5 minivan in urban gear, the driver will not want to drive off the asphalt surface (unfortunately, such damage to the bumper). But the generic Mitsubishi Delica D5 can muddle through the dirt and drive in places where many crossovers fold. The secret is that Mitsubishi Delica has an optional all-wheel drive (the rear axle is connected using a clutch).

It is a pity that the clearance of the restyled version of the minivan is 185 mm (210 mm for the predecessor), as well as the geometric characteristics of the body are getting worse, decreased from 23.5 to 21 degrees (entry angle) and from 18 to 16.5 degrees (exit angle).

Minivan Mitsubishi Delica D5 2019 model year compared to the pre-reform model has been changed and significantly changed.

Firstly, the Japanese monocab received a new face made by designers in the modern style of Mitsubishi Motors – a dynamic shield that is used to create the front of the Mitsubishi Eclipse crossover minivan Mitsubishi Xpander and after the facelift of the Mitsubishi L200 pickup. Thus, the front of the updated minivan flaunts a huge filter grill, bumper, and neatly layered lighting. Nestled at the top are narrow LED daytime running lights, below the vertical, dual units, LED headlights, below are LED turn signals and at the bottom are stylish bumper fog lamps.

Second, the rear end of the body, how well done. Not as drastic as the front end, however (the overall styling hasn't changed), but in the presence of new LED taillights and a redesigned bumper.

Thirdly, the updated Mitsubishi Delica received a completely new interior. The arsenal of new interior architecture includes a front fascia and center console, improved materials, improved floor insulation and a thicker windshield. The minivan is offered as a 7-seater and 8-seater saloon, with fabric or leather seat trim, decorative inserts made of natural wood of various colors and varieties.

Fourthly, the weight of the new equipment, which certainly stands out, is the new multimedia system with a 10.1-inch color touch screen divided by default into 4 zones music, navigation, car settings and applications (if necessary, each of the zones can be increased to full screen), three-zone climate control, LED interior lighting, adaptive cruise control, all-round visibility system, e-assist security system which includes automatic braking with detection of cars and pedestrians, lane marking tracking system and headlight control assistant.

And fifthly, the new technological acquisitions announced by Mitsubishi for the restyled minivan Delica D5 steel upgraded 2.3-liter turbo diesel 4N14 (145 hp 380 Nm) to get an exhaust gas purification system with an SCR system, in its turn is complemented by injection of liquid AdBlue (to reduce toxicity) and the last 8 automatic transmissions.

In addition to the upgraded turbo engine and 8-speed “automatic” updated Mitsubishi Delica D5-electric power steering (power change) and a new additional yaw sensor all-wheel drive transmission (provides fixation of the beginning of the vehicle's rotation around the vertical axis).

It's not clear whether naturally aspirated petrol engines, the 2.0-liter 4J11 (150 hp) and the 2.4-liter 4B12 (170 hp) will be in the range, or they will be dropped.
