Mitsubishi Outlander , as one of the representative models of Japanese family SUVs, may not be well understood by today's young consumers, but for the older generation of consumers, it is definitely a classic memory. Just as Mitsubishi gave up competition in the automobile market, the Outlander gradually became quiet in the domestic market. However, at the Chongqing Auto Show held last month, GAC Mitsubishi made a big move. The new generation Mitsubishi Outlander was displayed without warning, which also brought this classic model back into the mainstream attention of consumers.
Judging from the auto show pictures, the new Outlander is quite obvious compared to the current model. The whole vehicle basically follows the styling design of the overseas version. It looks more refined and modern, and its aura is also relatively strong. The front of the car presents an X-shaped design, with a large grille and honeycomb grille in the middle, and LED headlights arranged in a matrix on both sides. The visual effect is very rich and grand.
Coming to the side of the car body, the new Outlander feels more fashionable and atmospheric. The A pillar part adopts a bright black color, thus creating a suspended roof effect. The front and rear wheel eyebrows are slightly raised, adding a bit of strength. The car door has no hidden door handle design, and the style is slightly traditional.
Then at the rear of the car, the new Outlander's taillights become more narrow and elongated, with a spoiler on the top and a built-in high-mounted brake light . The rear enclosure is relatively generous and thick, decorated with silver fenders, and also adopts a two-sided design, giving it a more hardcore and pragmatic style.
As for the interior, judging from the actual photos taken at the auto show, the new Outlander is basically the same as the overseas version. The center console adopts a T-shaped layout and is equipped with a four-spoke steering wheel, a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, and a 9-inch floating central control screen. In addition to leather, the seats are also made of suede. The entire driving atmosphere feels relatively regular and refined. It is reported that in terms of configuration, the new Outlander will support functions such as CarPlay, and can also be equipped with HUD head-up display, L2-level intelligent assisted driving and other functions.
Recently, some netizens revealed the declaration information of the new Outlander, from which we can know the size and power parameters of the new Outlander. According to the application information, the length, width and height of the new Outlander are 4710/1862/1745mm, the wheelbase is 2706mm, and the tire specification is 255/45 R20. Compared with the current model, it is significantly improved and belongs to the mainstream compact SUV level.
Then in terms of power, the new Outlander will abandon the existing 2.0L and 2.4L power configurations and instead be equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine. The transmission is matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission, and the book data can have the largest Power output of 215Ps (158kW).
To be honest, this kind of performance is very good. You must know that the new X-Trail is equipped with a 1.5T engine that is said to cost 20 billion yen to build, and the maximum power is only 204Ps. This also makes people wonder, could it be said that the power configuration of the new Outlander will be better than that of the X-Trail? Of course, we still have to wait until the new Outlander is officially launched to know the actual situation. It is reported that the new Outlander will be officially launched within the year, so if you are interested in this car, you may wish to continue to pay attention.
