model history:
First generation of Outlander
First, the models that are launched for pre-sale this time are the latest fourth-generation products of the Mitsubishi Outlander series. Based on the previous three generations, Mitsubishi signed a transfer agreement for the first generation of Outlander technology with the then Beijing Jeep Automobile Company as early as 2002, and then the domestic version of the first generation of Outlander was launched in 2004.
The first generation Outlander
In the era when hard-core off-road vehicles were relatively mainstream, the emergence of Outlander filled the market gap in SUV models. In less than 5 years' life cycle, the car has achieved relatively good market performance. With the expiration of the technology transfer agreement, the first generation Outlander was discontinued in the country in 2008.
Second-generation Outlander
Second-generation Outlander's first facelift
Second-generation Outlander's second facelift was introduced into China through import channels and was called Outlander EX Jinjie
Although the first-generation Outlander was suspended in China in 2008, as early as October 2005, the second-generation Outlander was launched in Japan. The new car not only has comprehensively improved its design and size, but also has a 3.0-liter V6 engine added to the power system and is equipped with an S-AWC four-wheel drive system. Although the product strength has been improved, it is a pity that the second-generation Outlander has not continued to be produced in China, and the introduction of import channels has not allowed this car to gain too high market voice.
The third generation Outlander
Hour in 2012, the third generation Outlander was released at the Geneva Motor Show, but the change in design style has made the new car more rounded in visual effects. Due to the rapid development of the domestic automobile market at that time, Mitsubishi also introduced the third-generation Outlander into China at a relatively fast speed at the end of the same year.
After four years of sales as imported, the joint venture between GAC Group and Mitsubishi announced the establishment of the Outlander series, and it was once again produced in China after 8 years. Since its sales of the third-generation Outlander, it has become the pillar model of GAC Mitsubishi's sales volume, with sales of 44,023 units in the past year.
Market environment:
2023 Honda CR-V Rui·TD 240TURBO CVT Two-wheel drive Zhenxing 7-seater version
2022 Toyota RAV4 Rongfang 2.0 liter CVT two-wheel drive urban version
As a joint venture brand compact SUV, the newly-replacement Outlander is expected to join the mainstream camp of joint venture compact SUVs. It is expected that its competitors in the same class will include Honda CR-V (169,800-276,800 yuan), Toyota RAV4 Rongfang (175,800-260,800 yuan), Nissan X-Trail (179,900-262,900 yuan), etc. After 10 years of product cycle, Outlander has finally ushered in a new generation.It is true that the new car has been fully updated in terms of product strength, but the new generation of Honda CR-V that has just been launched, as well as new faces in joint venture compact SUV camps such as Buick Angry and Honda ZR-V, which makes the market segment more room for choice and the market environment more complex.
