Japan Mobility Show 2025: Mitsubishi
- Mitsubishi presents a modern version of its Delica D:5 small transporter or van. According to the carmaker, this diesel vehicle offers enough space for seven people despite its compact dimensions. It is also designed to cope with tougher conditions like an SUV.
- Since 2023, Mitsubishi has been offering the Delica Mini, a Kei car version of the Delica transporter, which is based on the Kei car eK but is slightly taller. Mitsubishi wants to establish the Delica Mini as a more spacious premium Kei car. Mitsubishi has equipped the new version with a five-mode drive service, which is an innovation in Kei cars.
- In August, Mitsubishi unveiled the third generation of the Mitsubishi eK Space, and visitors to JMS 2025 will be able to take a closer look at this new model. It is approximately 3.4 meters long and 1.47 meters wide and will be equipped with a gasoline engine. It will also be sold by Nissan under the name Roox. In 2024, around 70,700 eK Space/Roox vehicles from the previous generation were sold in Japan.
- Mitsubishi will also present the new Outlander with a plug-in hybrid engine at JMS 2025. The PHEV version is set to be offered in Europe again from early 2025. Inovev was able to register 3.541 sold units in Europe within the first 8 Months 2025. In 2024, around 137,300 vehicles of this type were manufactured at the Okazaki plant in Japan. The new Outlander PHEV is expected to have an output of 225 kW (306 hp) and a pure electric range of up to 86 km according to the WLTP cycle. This is ensured by two electric motors (one front and one rear). Inovev forecasts a production of 175.000 units per year.
- Not much is known about the concept vehicle that Mitsubishi plans to unveil at JMS 2025, except that it will be a fully electric crossover SUV in the premium segment with electric all-wheel drive. The teaser image suggest a spacious interior, possibly the trunk.

Japan Mobility Show 2025: Mazda
- Mazda has announced a concept and released a first teaser image, which doesn't really reveal much. We can assume that it has four doors and is probably a coupe. Could it therefore be an evolution of the 2017 Vision Coupe concept? The profile appears to be quite smooth, as there are no door handles or mirrors visible. The most interesting question is likely to be the engine, as Mazda rebuilt its Wankel engine production team in 2024. It is quite possible that this will function as a generator for a battery as a range extender. Since Mazda is championing a “sustainable future” for this year's JMS, a BEV would also be possible.
- Mazda will exhibit its third generation of the Mazda CX-5 at this year's Japan Mobility Show. Production already began in October at the japaneseUjina plant, and the vehicle is expected to be available in stores in December 2025 for approximately €35,000. Around 4.5 million vehicles of this model have been built since 2012. The SUV has a 2.5-liter mild hybrid engine but no diesel variant. Externally, the design of the new CX-5 has not changed too much. However, it will be considerably larger, growing by 11.5 cm in length to 4.69 meters, by 1.5 cm in width to 1.86 meters, and by 3 cm in height to 1.70 meters. The hood will also be raised by 5 cm. This pushes the model out of the C segment and into the D segment. In Europe, 38,914 units of this model were sold between 2014 and 2024. Inovev forecasts a production of 300.000 units per year production.
- Mazda will also present a strictly limited racing edition of its MX-5 roadster. The vehicle is expected to deliver up to 200 hp, cost more than €43,000, and be limited to 100 models.

- Honda will present its Series 0 prototypes, a sedan and an SUV, as its main attraction. The Honda 0 sedan is based on a structure newly created for BEVs and is intended to embody technological progress and the series' motto of “Thin, Light and Wise.” The Series 0 SUV will likely be the first vehicle in the series to reach production readiness. As a mid-size, fully electric SUV, it will be exciting to see how Honda has implemented the series motto in terms of “Thin” and “Light.” According to Honda, the interior is said to be exceptionally spacious.
- At the 2023 JMS, Honda unveiled a near-production prototype of the Honda Prelude, now in its sixth generation. The fifth generation ran from 1997 to 2002. The finished production version is now set to be presented at the 2025 JMS. The Prelude is traditionally a mid-range sports coupe. It is 4.52 meters long, 1.88 meters wide and, according to Honda, uses a hybrid drive with a two-liter gasoline engine and two electric motors. The power output is said to be 149 kW or 203 hp. Inovev forecasts a production 50.000 per year of this model.
- Honda will also unveil its Acura RSX Prototype. According to information released so far, it will be a BEV based on the Acura Performance BEV concept car, which was unveiled in 2024. Honda plans to manufacture the new Acura at its factory in Marysville, Ohio, USA, which serves as the base for Honda's BEV production, and to start sales in the second half of 2026. Inovev forecasts a production 50.000 per year of this model.

Japan Mobility Show 2025: List of participating carmakers
Compared to other recent auto shows, the Japan Motor Show seems to have a more national focus, one might even say isolationist. Of the 13 passenger car carmakers represented, nine are Japanese. Compared to European trade fairs, there is a noticeable absence of Chinese carmakers, with only BYD appearing to be represented. The absence of the entire VW Group is also noteworthy. European carmakers are represented only by the German premium carmakers BMW (including Mini) and Mercedes. There is not a single American brand represented, not even Tesla.
