The Mitsubishi Grandis is not a new name to many car enthusiasts worldwide. Mitsubishi used this name for their minivan model with three rows of seven seats sold in the market from 2003 to 2011.
After a 14-year hiatus, Mitsubishi is bringing back the Grandis name. However, this time, the Mitsubishi Grandis will be reintroduced as a small SUV, targeting young families as their primary audience.

“Grandis,” meaning “grand” or “impressive” in Latin, will be the new name for the Renault Symbioz. To put it simply, the Grandis will be a longer and more practical version of its sibling, the Mitsubishi ASX.
Mitsubishi plans to unveil the new Grandis in July this year. Ahead of its launch, the company has released a video teasing the SUV’s exterior design.

From the images released by Mitsubishi, we can catch a glimpse of the SUV’s grille and trunk lid design. These distinguishing features will set the Grandis apart from its twin, the Renault Symbioz.

The new Grandis features a slim, black grille with chrome-plated cross-hatched slats. The iconic Mitsubishi logo sits proudly in the center of the grille. Meanwhile, the trunk lid sports the “Grandis” and “HEV” logos, marking it as Mitsubishi’s newest offering.

The rest of the Mitsubishi Grandis 2026 is expected to remain unchanged from the Renault Symbioz. This includes the SUV’s dimensions, which will mirror its twin, measuring 4,410 mm in length, 1,790 mm in width, and 1,570 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,638 mm. With these specifications, the Grandis will compete with other small SUVs in the market, such as the Kia Seltos and the Honda HR-V.
According to Mitsubishi, the new Grandis will offer a spacious and versatile interior. It is likely to provide a similar cargo capacity as the Renault Symbioz, ranging from 492 to 624 liters, with the ability to slide the rear seats to adjust the cargo space.
It is expected that the Mitsubishi Grandis 2026 will inherit the same features as the Renault Symbioz. This includes 18-19 inch alloy wheels (depending on the variant), a 10.4-inch OpenR Link touchscreen infotainment system, electrically adjustable and heated front seats, a Harman Kardon sound system with nine speakers, and a panoramic sunroof that can be operated via voice commands.

Built on the same CMF-B platform as many Mitsubishi, Renault, Nissan, and Dacia models, the new Grandis will adopt the Symbioz’s E-tech hybrid powertrain. This includes a 141-horsepower four-cylinder engine and a 36 kW electric motor.
The Mitsubishi Grandis 2026 will be a hybrid vehicle.
In addition to the Grandis, Mitsubishi also plans to launch a new C-segment SUV with an all-electric powertrain. This vehicle is rumored to be the Mitsubishi version of the Renault Scenic E-Tech. Similar to the Mitsubishi Colt and ASX, these two new SUVs will be assembled at Renault’s European factories.
