The smily eyes fit the vehicle's personality.NewAtlas.com is a technology focused website that focuses on “what’s next” in the fields of technology, science, transportation, architecture, design, automotive and RVs. Here’s what New Atlas had to say about some of this year’s RV releases.
One the world’s most beloved mini-camper van nameplates has gone full micro. The Mitsubishi Delica is beloved around the globe as a capable camper and adventure van foundation that punches far above its weight, and now it’s spawned a Mini version that’s shaping up to be the perfect high-roofed kei camper base. The all-new Delica Mini takes on the rugged looks of its older, larger brother in a delightfully tiny format optimized for safe, confident “Daily Adventure.” It shouldn’t be long before Japan’s camper conversion industry turns it into an amazingly efficient rig fit for “Weekly Adventure.”
As planned, Mitsubishi debuted the Delica Mini at the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon in January, where it also previewed the kei wagon’s adventure-seeking future. The company will officially roll the Mini out to market next month, and says it’s received 9,000 preorders since opening the books on January 13.
Styling-wise, the 134-inch Delica Mini borrows liberally from the larger Delica van, sharing the latest D:5’s upright design, Dynamic Shield front-end and skid-plate style lower bumpers. Mitsubishi tempers the tough first impression with a set of smily semicircular LED eyes that add a bit of playful personality.
