The Tristar, which has been unveiled at the IAA show in Hanover, features a two-seat interior that incorporates a 20” ‘tablet table’ as well as videoconferencing facilities. A large waterproof drawer housed below the main deck makes for similarly unusual cargo-carrying arrangements.

Off-road ability should be fairly respectable thanks to a 30 mm (1.2”) suspension lift, 4Motion permanent all-wheel drive and a mechanical rear axle differential lock. Powering the concept is a 2.0 litre turbodiesel engine that produces 201 bhp (150 kW / 203 PS) with 450 Nm (332 lb/ft) of peak torque.

Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle.
