Everybody seems to be restyling RAV4s right now. First Suzuki, now famous oddball Japanese brand Mitsuoka, with the upcoming Buddy SUV.
Since the sheet metal is mostly unchanged, the overall boxiness of those vintage trucks and vans isn't captured in the Buddy's profile, but there are more touches at the rear that reinforce the truckish appeal. A chrome bumper and recontoured tailgate are definitely retro, as are the steel wheels with dog-dish hubcaps seen on some of the renders.
There are no pictures of the interior, so we don't know if Mitsuoka's brought more of a retro vibe to the inside.Mitsuoka hasn't made any radical powertrain changes and both front- and all-wheel-drive variants are available with power coming from either a 2.0-liter gas engine or a 2.5-liter gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain. Mitsuoka will fully unveil the Buddy on November 26.
