Hiroshi Nagaoka, the Executive Vice President of Mitsubishi Motor Corporation, highlighted the unique nature of the D:X Concept compared to other Mitsubishi concept cars. He explained, "This D:X Concept is a bit different compared to other Mitsubishi concept cars, such as the previous XForce. So this is different, it won't exactly look like this, but usually when Mitsubishi has a concept model, it won't be produced for long."
