Japanese automaker Mitsubishi has gone ahead launched a miniature camper vehicle in the form of the 'Mitsubishi Delica Mini,' a vehicle that takes on the famed Japanese kei vehicular format and brings it into the outdoor space.
The brand new 'Mitsubishi Delica Mini' is unsurprisingly a miniaturized take on the 'Delica,' which is why it has many of the same cues such as its bumper design and upright posture.
Elsewhere, this mini-camper offers a range of adventure-focused features that include four-wheel-drive to tackle treacherous terrain, not to mention the ability to handle all kinds of weather. The 'Delica Mini' also offers folding rear benches that allow for increased space for cargo.
The vehicle can be obtained with either a 51-horsepower or 63-horsepower engine, with prices set to start at between approximately $13,500 and $16,750 when it goes on sale in Japan.
