Mitsubishi unveils revamped Outlander at New York motor show
The facelifted Mitsubishi Outlander has been unveiled at the New York motor show.
The updated car, which takes styling inspiration from last year’s Outlander PHEV Concept-S, Mitsubishi says the updated Outlander also shows off the firm’s new design language.
Mitsubishi says it has comprehensively redesigned the seven-seat SUV, adding new LED lights, 18-inch alloy wheels, and new styling details at the front and rear.
The facelifted Outlander also gains elements from previous Mitsubishi concepts like including the XR-PHEV and GC-PHEV.
Underneath, the Japanese manufacturer says it has strengthened the car’s chassis, redesigned its suspension setup, reduced noise and vibrations inside, added electric power steering.
Inside, facelifted Outlander models get a redesigned steering wheel, a new infotainment system and an updated range of safety tech - including forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control.
Mitusbishi hasn’t released details of the facelifted Outlander’s powertrain or when the new model might arrive in the UK. However, the current Outlander gets a 2.2-litre diesel motor but is also available in 2.0-litre PHEV form as well.
Speaking at the launch of the new car, Mitsubishi Motors North America vice president Don Swearingen said: “Mitsubishi's outstanding sales momentum is carrying into the new year and with the arrival of the 2016 Outlander crossover we are well positioned to sustain our growth."
