mentions Mitsubishi Outlander , which is probably well-known to everyone. It was once popular for a while, but then it became silent. This time, the new Outlander new car was launched, challenging the "sales champion" Honda CR-V. When the two cars meet, who can win? Let's take a look.
appearance comparison: Maverick VS simple and durable
2023 Outlander and CR-V both adopt new design styles of their respective families, but the two cars give people a very different impressions. Outlander's appearance is more rough, hard-core, off-road, while the CR-V looks more homely, simple and simple.
Outland's center grille has a certain sense of design and power, with rich details. The model name on the hood is an iconic element on the Mitsubishi off-road vehicle. The CR-V adopts a hexagonal center mesh and is equipped with honeycomb breathable holes inside, which is relatively simple.
Outlander uses split headlights, C-shaped chrome-plated decoration adds details and recognition to the front of the car, and is also equipped with front fog lights. The CR-V headlights adopt an open eye corner design and are equipped with a full LED light source. The plating of the center grid also extends to the light group.
Outland's body lines are relatively rich, and the A, B, C, and D columns are all black plated to create the visual effect of a suspended roof. The CR-V side design is generally standard, with a waist line running through the front and back, and the front wheel arch is also equipped with reflective strips.
The rear design of Outlander is not as visually impactful as the front, but it uses a silver lower guard plate that echoes the front and rear. The rear CR-V is more beautiful, with a large area of black lower guard and two exhausts on both sides.
Outland taillights are relatively simple in shape, but the internal width indicator light has a T-shaped T-shaped and has good recognition. The CR-V's taillight design is similar to the previous generation model, but the shape is more angular and the interior has also undergone a certain amount of blackening.
interior comparison: tender and warm VS home practical
The interior design ideas of the two cars are quite similar, both of which adopt lines and elements that show the horizontal width; the design of the through-type air outlet is used at the same time, but in comparison, the CR-V style will be more special. In terms of workmanship, Outlander seems to be more attentive. The door panels and seats use diamond double stitching design, adding some luxury to the interior. The workmanship of CR-V is also of the mainstream level, and good materials are used on the blade.
The entire side windows of Outlander series use thermal insulation glass, and the front row is also equipped with double-layer sound insulation glass . The CR-V does not have sound insulation or thermal insulation glass, but most models are equipped with rear privacy glass.
The steering wheels of both cars are relatively thick and full of touch, and the overall ergonomic engineering is also good. Outlander adopts a four-spoke style, and although it has chrome decoration, it will look a little old-fashioned. The steering wheel of the CR-V is synchronized with other Honda models.
Outland is only equipped with a full LCD instrument (12.3 inches) with a beautiful interface UI and delicate display. The CR-V mid-to-high-end use a 10.2-inch full LCD instrument, and the low-to-high instrument cluster , with a 7-inch low-to-high instrument cluster, which has a visual effect that is not as good as Outlander.
Outlander series comes with a 10.25-inch central control screen standard, with relatively regular functions, but supports the interconnection of CarPlay, CarLife, and HiCar mobile phones. The entire CR-V series has a 10.1-inch central control screen, and its functions are similar to Outlander, but lacks CarPlay.
space comparison: Outlander is more comfortable VSCR-V rich in functions
Outlander's seat inherits the genes of the Nissan large sofa in the "Alliance". It is very wide and thick, and diamond stitching is rare in the same level. The CR-V seat design is average, but the riding comfort is good and supports electric adjustment.
The second row of the two cars is designed with a 3-seat design. Outlander supports backrest adjustment, and front and rear adjustments are also available on the seven-seat model. Whether it is a five-seater or seven-seater version, the second row of seats supports backrest and front and rear adjustment, which is more generous.
The third row of seats of the two cars are relatively thin, and the Outlander's backrest is ridiculously short. It is paired with a flat and long headrest, so it can be called an outlier in the same class.
CR-V third row is relatively "normal", at least it has good support for the body.The performance of the two cars in riding space is relatively close and belongs to the upper and middle level of the same level. Thanks to the four-way adjustment of the second row of seats in the entire series, the CR-V can give passengers higher adjustment freedom.
Outlander's second row central armrest is the middle backrest, which performs better in thickness, but when opened, there is no barrier to the rear row. Whether the design is good or bad depends on your opinion. The length and thickness of the CR-V are relatively average.
Both cars are standard for openable panoramic sunroofs, and provide electric sunshade , which can enhance the opening feeling of the car. Both cars support the second and third rows of backrests. The difference is that the second row of Outlander forms steps with the platform, while the third row of CR-V forms steps with the trunk, but the trunk cover supports high and low adjustment, which can achieve a full-level platform.
power comparison: 1.5T+48VVS1.5T
Outlander uses a 1.5T four-cylinder engine codenamed 4B40 and has 48v light mixing support. The power is slightly lower than that of the same platform's X-Trail .
CR-V uses the old 1.5T engine, but the maximum torque of output is optimized. Both cars are matched with CVT, Outlander uses a smooth electronic gear lever, while CR-V is still a traditional mechanical gear lever.
The suspension types of the two cars are also the same: the front McPherson independent suspension + rear multi-link independent suspension, and the chassis is relatively flat. The new Outlander is equipped with an S-AWC four-wheel drive system that is more oriented towards road performance, providing off-road modes such as snow and desert.
CR-V is equipped with Real-TimeAWD intelligent four-wheel drive system, which can intelligently switch between front and rear four-wheel drive.
Overall, both representative models of Japanese cars, the strength of the two cars is relatively close, but this time Outlander has added a new 48v light mixing blessing, which is more prominent in terms of economic performance. What do you think I vote for Outlander?
