Mitsubishi says the e-Evolution will feature an AI personal assistant that learns occupants' voices and needs, learning "about them from their speech and behavior" in order to "provide services that best match their tastes and needs."

The concept has a very dramatic side view, with extremely raked front and rear glass suggesting the design's priority is more on sport than utility.
