“We are truly honored to receive one of the most distinguished design awards globally for the two All-New models we launched this fiscal year,” said Seiji Watanabe, division general manager of design at Mitsubishi Motors. “Each model has been recognized for expressing its distinct character in a unique form – the Triton exudes daring expression, while the Xforce embraces an agile look – while also embodying the robustness typical of Mitsubishi Motors’ design ethos.
