New Mitsubishi Outlander Launched; Rivals Skoda Kodiaq, Honda CR-V
Making a comeback after five years, the new Outlander is offered in one variant with a petrol engine
Mitsubishi has launched the third-gen Outlander in India at a price tag of Rs 32 lakh (ex-showroom Pune). Making a comeback after five years, the new SUV is only available in a single variant powered by a petrol engine. Mitsubishi’s dealers have been accepting bookings for the all-new SUV since May. The carmaker says the Outlander will make ground in the country thanks to petrol-powered vehicles becoming popular again.
Speaking of petrol power, the Outlander is equipped with a 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder MIVEC petrol engine that pumps out 167PS@6000rpm with 222Nm@4200rpm of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a 6-speed CVT gearbox and Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel control. Read our first drive reviewhere.
On the features front, the Outlander gets all-LED auto headlamps with LED daytime running lights (DRLs), LED fog lamps, rain-sensing wipers, electric sunroof, paddle shifters and LED taillights. It sits on 16-inch alloy wheels that look a bit small for an SUV of its size. On the inside, it receives a rather subdued all-black dashboard fitted with a 6.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system coupled with a 710W Rockford Fosgate speaker system. It also gets dual-zone climate control. Safety features include ABS with EBD, Active Stability Control (ASC), hill start assist and seven airbags.
