The development of Mitsubishi Motors in China in recent years has not been optimistic. There are few models and sales in the country are also very unsatisfactory. Among the several models on sale, only the , the Outlander, and the are somewhat respectable. However, compared with other competitors, the monthly sales volume of about one to two thousand is actually not worth mentioning. All in all, this model has not been updated for several years, and it is inevitable that its product strength will fall behind. However, the new Outlander has been announced overseas. In the past few days, GAC Mitsubishi has released the new Outlander online. At the same time, the car also appeared at the Chongqing Auto Show .
In terms of appearance, the new Outlander uses the latest design concepts, and the overall vehicle looks more sporty and visually impactful. The flatter air intake grille, combined with the sharp daytime lights, and the silver chrome decorative strips, give the front face a stronger sense of muscle. The split headlight design is also very individual, and the bottom is also equipped with a thick front surround, which makes the overall look very domineering.
The suspended roof appears on the Outlander for the first time, which also adds a sense of fashion to the hard-core body. The waistline extends from the front fender to the rear of the car in one go, making the body more streamlined. The taillights are slender, and there are a large number of horizontal lines at the rear of the car, making the overall structure rich. Compared with the old model, the new Outlander has advanced a lot with the times.
In terms of interior, the new Outlander has been completely redesigned, getting rid of the original old style. The entire central control has been redesigned, with a multi-function steering wheel, a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, a 12.3-inch floating central control screen, and a 10.8-inch HUD head-up display , combined with the main color of black and white, the car feels both fashionable and stable. Diamond-shaped texture designs are also used in many places such as seats and door panels, which upgrades the sense of class and improves the driving experience. In terms of intelligent configuration, the addition of intelligent equipment such as voice interaction and adaptive cruise has also further enhanced the car's Internet attributes and catered to the preferences of contemporary young users.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the car are 4710/1862/1745 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2706 mm. Compared with the old model, it has been fully upgraded and the internal space will be larger. For third-row passengers, there is also more leg space. Can be better stretched.
In fact, the new Outlander is based on the CMF-CD platform of the Renault- Nissan - Mitsubishi alliance. This platform also gave birth to the new X-Trail model. However, the domestic sales of the new X-Trail are not optimistic, mainly because the 1.5T three-cylinder engine it is equipped with is unacceptable to consumers. Fortunately, the engine that the new Outlander will use in the future is likely to be a 1.5T four-cylinder, which solves the worries of the transmission system. Matched with CVT transmission, some models have four-wheel drive system.
The new Outlander has been fully upgraded inside and out, and its overall competitiveness has been greatly improved. As a joint venture SUV, the price of the current Outlander is actually not expensive in its class. If the new model can be maintained at this price level, I believe it will be of great help to boost sales and become popular again and become mainstream. It's not impossible.
