With Malaysians showing no signs of reducing their demand for driving a SUV, Mitsubishi has a lot to offer starting with its well presented, compact-sized ASX, its rugged Triton pickup truck with 4×4 and 2×4 options and, of course, its popular family friendly Outlander 7-seat SUV which comes in a 2.0L variant and a 2.4L variant.
Mitsubishi does not release new products very often, but when they do you can assured it will be a winner. Here comes another Mitsubishi winner in the form of a 7-passenger SUV. Mitsubishi engineers have managed to pack in so many features into this Outlander that the asking price sort of defies logic.
The Outlander has recently benefited from a 2.0L engine. The Outlander has real stand-out appeal; the strong colour really suits the sporty front-end styling. It wears plenty of opulent but quality-look chrome and the large three-diamond badge on its thrusting hi-gloss black nose leave you in no doubt as to its identity.
The new Outlander 2.0L 4WD is powered by a proven 2.0-litre engine with 145 PS and 196 Nm of torque. The DOHC MIVEC engine is paired with INVECS-III CVT transmission. The Outlander comes with an intelligent 4WD system as standard across the range. Unlike on-demand 4WD systems in rival SUVs, the Multi-Select 4WD system in the Outlander has three selectable modes – 4WD Eco, 4WD Auto and 4WD Lock – to suit all conditions and terrain.
Safety features in this Outlander is impressive with 4WD, 7-airbags, ABS and EBD, Brake Assist, Active Stability & Traction Control (ASTC), Hill Start Assist (HSA) and ISOFIX child seat mounts are standard. The SUV also boasts a strong Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body construction.
