The fourth generation of the Mitsubishi Outlander flagship SUV has undergone a complete design overhaul.

The latest model promises rugged performance that’s perfect for today’s dynamic environment as well as innovative technology that can enhance the driving experience. Additionally, this safety-centric model comes equipped with a host of advanced features that ensure occupants remain safe at all times.

The Exterior

Using the Bold Stride design concept, the strong, horizontal-themed proportion from front to rear is contrasted with broad surface lines paired with sharp edges and complemented by 20-inch alloy wheels and overhanging fenders that highlight the wide body.

The front end boasts Mitsubishi Motors’ distinctive next generation Dynamic Shield which increases protection and improves performance. The sharp looking front combination lights, which house daytime running lights and turn signals, are positioned higher to provide better visibility for other drivers as well as pedestrians. The lowly positioned head lights provide better distant lighting without impairing the vision of oncoming drivers.

Performance

The newly developed platform of the Outlander greatly improves collision safety and achieves a high level of steering stability. For the first time, Mitsubishi Motors have used an ultra-high tensile strength steel sheet with hot stamping around the cabin to create a high-strength cabin structure. The multi-link suspension and dual pinion electric power steering enhance the overall ride comfort. This greatly improves traceability during cornering as well as linear stability and provides driving pleasure.

Available in 2WD and 4WD options, the all-new Outlander enjoys a newly developed 2.5L gasoline engine which produces an improved maximum power of 181/6,000hp/rpm, 8.9% better than the previous generation, and a maximum torque of 244/3,600nm/rpm. Fuel efficiency has also improved by 2.6% thanks to the eight-speed sport mode continuously variable transmission.

The 4WD models incorporate a hydraulic clutch operated by an electric motor, in addition to the improved S-AWC integrated vehicle dynamics control system. The Brake AYC (Active Yaw Control) is adopted on the rear wheels as well, to provide front and rear wheel-distributed-control.

The all-new Outlander has six drive modes for the 4WD options and five for the 2WD ones. These include Normal, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow and Mud. When a mode is selected, an image representing the driving situation is displayed in the meter.

The Interior

The linear instrument panel with a powerful horizontal tone gives the vehicle a spacious and roomy look while producing a functional form that makes it easy to see the changes in the vehicle’s position. The upper part is covered with a soft padding wrapped in leather, and intricate stitching to project a high-quality feel. The door panels feature a large area of inserts with the same soft padding.

The interior colour variations of the P-Line feature genuine leather seats of light gray and black. The instrument panel and door trim are the same color, and real aluminum is used in the shift panel. Saddle tan accent color and semi-aniline leather seats are also available as an option for the P-Line. The H-Line features black suede combination seats and piano black interior material, while the M-Line offers light gray or black fabric material seats and piano black interior material.

The roominess and overall comfort of the seats are enhanced by widening the body and increasing the legroom in the first and second rows. In addition, features such as seat heaters, three-zone automatic climate control and rear door sunshades are available depending on the trim.

Two types of meters are available in the all-new Outlander, depending on the trim. The 12.3-inch full digital driver display equipped with a Mitsubishi Motors’ first full-screen, full- color liquid high-definition crystal display shows a variety of content on a large screen. The display is also equipped with a customisation function that allows for information to be freely combined and exhibited. The other high-contrast meter is a seven-inch multi-information display which shows simple arrow navigation in the central information display.

Available on certain trims, a large nine-inch screen for the centre display is equipped with Smartphone-link Display Audio navigation system. This smoothly provides highly accurate route information using internal maps and navigation functions. By connecting to Android or iPhone smartphones, users can also enjoy the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay applications.

To provide driving information safely and more quickly, Mitsubishi Motors have, for the first time, installed a windshield-type 10.8-inch Head-Up Display (HUD) which can be turned on and off manually. In addition to driving information and warnings, such as lane departure, the displayed content can also be navigation and audio information through a link with the centre display.

The new model offers a 10-speaker premium Bose sound system that provides a powerful deep bass and a high-quality sound like a live performance.

The all-new Outlander is a three-row, seven-seat family SUV, which is unique in its class. The seats can be flexibly arranged with multiple configurations to suit the number of passengers and accommodate their luggage. The second- row seats have a sliding and reclining function, as well as a 4:2:4 split division, allowing two adult passengers to comfortably sit in the second row even when carrying long items such as skis.

Safety

Safety features in the new model are as advanced as every other aspect of this car, including forward collision mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot warning, lane change assist , rear cross traffic alert, driver attention alert , rear automatic emergency braking and multi around monitor.

The front centre airbag for the driver’s seat and side airbags for the second-row seats are equipped as standard, and a total of seven airbags are installed.
