On December 18, Mitsubishi announced a major update for the Delica D:5 and set the start of sales in Japan for January 9, 2026. Prices range from 4.51 to 4.94 million yen, and the lineup includes three trims—G, G-Power Package, and P—each available with seven- or eight-seat layouts. The brand treats it as more than styling tweaks: the Delica remains its statement piece for combining minivan practicality with SUV-like capability, and the company positions it as a key model for sustaining sales.Outside, the Delica D:5 looks more purposeful. The grille and bumpers are reworked, while the rear gains a cleaner tailgate design with the DELICA script integrated into the garnish. Fender flares, new 18-inch wheels, and a refreshed color palette arrive as well, including a two-tone Moonstone Gray Metallic with Black Mica. In total, there are nine colors, and the bolder stance suits the vehicle’s brief.Inside, there’s now an 8-inch digital instrument cluster, more metallic accents, and hard-wearing trim materials. The seats use a mix of water-repellent suede and synthetic leather, while added USB Type‑C ports in two zones make everyday use simpler. The cabin comes across as more functional without losing the familiar Delica vibe.Under the skin, Mitsubishi leans into all-terrain confidence with S-AWC, selectable ECO, NORMAL, GRAVEL, and SNOW modes, plus hill descent assistance. The driver aids are updated: automatic emergency braking can now detect bicycles; there’s protection against accidental accelerator input while reversing; parking sonars are fitted; and the surround-view camera is notably improved with new display modes and moving-object detection. These upgrades should reduce stress in tight spaces and on slippery surfaces alike.Pre-orders have already surpassed 5,000 vehicles in a month and a half.
