Delica D:5 big minor change
Mitsubishi made a major minor change to the new Delica D:5, and began accepting reservations on November 21, 2018. It was then released on February 15, 2019. This time, the car underwent a full model change, becoming the new Delica D:5 rather than the Delica D:6. The front face has been significantly redesigned, giving it a completely new image. The custom model “URBAN GEAR” has also been added to the lineup.
A surprising minor change to the Delica D:5
The front design concept is “Dynamic Shield,” and the large bumper features vertical LED multi-headlights integrated into the fenders.
| size | Delica D:5 | New Delica D:5 |
|---|---|---|
| full length | 4,790mm | 4,800mm |
| Overall width | 1,795mm | 1,795mm |
| Overall height | 1870mm | 1,875mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,850mm | 2,850mm |
The approach angle is 21 degrees and the departure angle is 23 degrees. The front design is similar to the new Expander, the next-generation crossover MPV that went on sale in Indonesia in the fall of 2017. The biggest feature of this model is that, following the full model change, it has been reborn with a sharper image, incorporating the new Mitsubishi design.
The interior has also been changed, with the custom URBAN GEAR model featuring a special instrument panel accent panel and a 10.1-inch navigation system. To create a sense of width, an instrument panel based on the horizontal “Horizontal Axis” concept is used.
The engine is an improved version of the 4N14 2.2L inline 4-cylinder DOHC clean diesel turbo engine that was installed in the previous model. This improved engine is also used in the new Eclipse Cross.

Furthermore, the maximum torque is expected to be increased by 5% compared to the previous model, and fuel economy is also expected to improve. It is equipped with an AdBlue® “urea SCR system” that purifies diesel engine exhaust gases . The transmission is an 8-speed sports mode automatic, and the 4WD system uses the S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) integrated vehicle dynamics control system, which adds AYC brake control, as used in the new Outlander and new Eclipse Cross .

The seats are made of “Grand Luxe,” a water-repellent suede-like artificial leather that’s perfect for outdoor leisure activities, with brown stitching.

Silver stitching is also applied to the instrument panel and door trim, creating a unified interior design.
