Design Details
- Unique Properties
- eK X is a crossover model that incorporates the SUV taste distinctive to Mitsubishi Motors. Its design embodies Mitsubishi’s brand message Drive your Ambition and powerful driving performance with low fuel consumption is featured. This vehicle was developed to reflect the target customers insights wanting to challenge something new with an inquiring mind. This brochure was designed to communicate special fascination of eK X, a new crossover SUV variant kei car completely.
- Inspiration
- Developed to a Cute Beast concept, eK X exterior styling projects an SUV taste with the active, playful presence that is distinctive to Mitsubishi Motors. This brochure was also designed based on the same concept of Cute Beast. This vehicle has an attractive aura. With this idea, we decided to use a bold color combination of yellow and black to draw people’s attention at a 1st glance. Also we tried to emphasize fascination of eK X by showing individual function and performance.
