The new small car will come to the world via a company’s production site in Thailand. The plant, which is the first new development of this kind for the carmaker in 16 years could reach an annual output capacity of up to 200,000 units in 2013.

The small car will be offered on emerging markets, as well as in Japan, with the company expected to set a retail price of around EUR10,150 ($13,500) in Thailand. Unfortunately, the automotive produced hasn’t offered any details about the vehicle’s availability in Europe.
Mitsubishi’s new small player will make its official debut at next year’s Geneva Auto Show.
