The "life-saving straw" of Mitsubishi , the new Outlander is belatedly arrived, I hope not to imitate X-Trail
In terms of corporate strength, the Mitsubishi brand has a very strong overall strength and is involved in many industrial fields, such as motors, home appliances, elevators, etc. Even large ships can do it. Moreover, Mitsubishi Motors started very early, but now it seems that Mitsubishi Motors’ presence is no longer strong, especially in the Chinese market. GAC Mitsubishi’s sales share has almost been declining in recent years. For example, in April this year, the entire GAC Mitsubishi brand The sales volume is only 1,002 units, and this is still supported by the GAC Aian's body-changing model. Now in the field of fuel vehicles, GAC Mitsubishi's only life-saving straw is the new Outlander.
This car has long been deployed in overseas markets, but its introduction to the Chinese market has been belatedly. It was not officially unveiled until the recent Chongqing Auto Show . Now looking at this new design language, it is no longer amazing, because The details and style are basically the same as those of the overseas version. Overall, the design language of Mitsubishi Motors is becoming more and more aggressive. The rather exaggerated X-shaped mouth on the front of the car is paired with squinting daytime running lights and split headlights. The sense of weight is even stronger than that of Highlander . .
However, in terms of size, the new Mitsubishi Outlander is still a relatively standard compact SUV, with a total body length of 4710mm and a slightly longer wheelbase of 2706mm. If compared with the domestically produced Haval H6 or Changan CS75plus, the main sales products, the appearance of the Mitsubishi Outlander The size is not large. But just like the Tiggo 8, one of the selling points of this car is its 7-seater configuration. Even if it’s uncomfortable to sit in the last row, people are willing to provide 7 seats, which is attractive to families with many people.
After opening the door, if you cover the Mitsubishi logo in the middle of the steering wheel, probably 9 out of 10 people will think of this car as a Nissan X-Trail. The entire center console style is exactly the same as the new generation X-Trail. Could it be that Mitsubishi Motors copied Nissan ? In fact, the cooperation between the Renault Mitsubishi-Nissan alliance is getting closer and closer. It is reasonable for the Outlander to borrow part of the design of the Nissan X-Trail. For example, configurations such as the central control screen and electronic gear lever are completely common parts, which greatly reduces research and development costs.
The technological atmosphere of the new Mitsubishi Outlander is already good this time. It is no longer the old-fashioned configuration that has been used for many years like the old model. The instrument panel reaches 12.3 inches, the central control navigation screen is 9 inches, and there is a separate display panel for the air-conditioning control area.
It is a pity that GAC Mitsubishi did not directly provide the domestic power configuration parameters of the new Outlander model. This leaves a small suspense. I hope Mitsubishi Outlander will not learn from Qijun and directly adopt Nissan's 1.5T small-displacement three. cylinder engine , because judging from the sales performance of the new X-Trail, domestic consumers' acceptance of three-cylinder engines is still very limited. Even though Nissan's super variable engine variable compression ratio technology is very strong and the 1.5T long engine produces more than 200 horsepower, the three-cylinder structure is enough to dissuade many conservative consumers.
Here comes the question, do you think the new design of Mitsubishi Outlander is pleasing to the eye? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area and let car fans discuss together!
