Comfortability

While ensuring the basic requirements for safe driving, we seek to create a driving experience where the continuous sensation of the wind and light while driving blends into an emotional experience of joy. This pursuit of the ideal driving experience is embodied in Mitsubishi Motors’ unique driving position.

To minimize distractions from safety monitoring, we offer intuitive controls for information displays that allow tasks to be completed naturally and without stress. For example, we've carefully designed features such as grouping related and similar functions together for easier access, while reducing the effort required to operate them.

Among the three elements of customer driving behavior—perception, judgment, and operation—perception is enhanced by our vision assist function that uses an external camera system. The challenges of visibility※5 vary depending on the specific vehicle design and traffic conditions, so we optimize the camera angles and positions for each vehicle. We are committed to developing new vision assist technologies to expand the situations where customers can drive with confidence.

We are developing a user interface that reduces the time needed to read cockpit displays. This includes using high picture quality displays to promote intuitively readable fonts and simple, graphical designs. We're also working on new cockpit layouts that minimize eye movement while driving, and a mechanism that delivers information effectively through light, sound, and tactile feedback to capture attention. Additionally, we are researching the use of image processing and in-cabin sensing technologies※6 to enhance information control features.

We are developing technologies that enhance acoustic quality while driving, and creating a new listening experience and features that everyone on board can enjoy together, as if in a dedicated listening room. Along with vehicle structural design that maximizes speaker performance and technologies that enhance cabin quietness, we also incorporate sound volume and quality correction technologies using sensor data to deliver the best possible audio experience for each vehicle.

When it comes to physical comfort in the cabin—covering heat, light, air, and sound—we are working to enhance the relaxing effects of ambient lighting and the stimulating effects of light during nighttime driving as well as the rear-seat environmental performance for all passengers to feel comfortable, in addition to passive responses to the in-cabin environment. We also research effective methods based on sensory and perceptual mechanisms, continually advancing cabin environmental performance through the use of cutting-edge technologies.

We aim to create a unique space that you will always enjoy being in. This includes designing structures and features for physical comfort, and ensuring spatial relaxation that offers a sense of security even when navigating rough roads or making sudden steering. We also add value by using car windows to uniquely connect the interior with the outside environment. These concepts come to life through innovative solutions within dimensional specifications and packaging constraints.

We offer Mitsubishi Motors' unique convenience, from before you step into the vehicle to after arriving at your destination, with features like hospitality functions for pre- and post-entry experience, ample storage for packing your favorite gear, reliable power supply at your destination, and connectivity that keeps you in touch even when you're away from the car.
