The fifth-generation Delica D5 series is an 8-seater, 5-door MPV that was unveiled in 2007 with practicality, luxury, and off-roading capabilities.

It features Mitsubishi’s body safety construction system Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) that is designed to enhance the car‘s passive safety system by connecting other parts of the car to the energy-absorbing features of the front and rear end.
