Some time ago, the fourth-generation Outlander, which has been preheated for a long time, officially launched pre-sales, with a price range of .17 million to 230,000 yuan, and a total of 7 models were launched. As GAC Mitsubishi's "killer weapon" this year, the new Outlander and Nissan new generation X-Trail are built on the same platform. As early as this year's Chengdu Auto Show , the new car received orders of over 10,000 vehicles within 30 hours after starting blind subscription to .
So the question is, will the new Outlander, which can be called the "change of the shell of X-Trail", be the "best substitute" of Nissan X-Trail? With this question in mind, let’s talk about it together.
In terms of appearance, there is still a big difference between the new Outlander on the same platform and the new X-Trail on the same platform. The new generation Outlander adopts the design language of the Mitsubishi e-Yi concept car, and the split headlight group and X-shaped front face shape have been retained. Combined with the two thick C-shaped chrome strips on the left and right, it reveals a hint of domineeringness in its roundness.

, and the new generation of X-Trail follows the appearance design of V-motion 3.0, and also uses split headlights and large-size chrome air intake grille. The difference is that the lines of the Nissan X-Trail are sharper, with a slightly hard-core "flavor".

On the side of the body, Outlander's most eye-catching design is the use of a suspended roof and a black hidden A column , which looks sporty and fashionable. The overall taillight is simple, with relatively few highlights, and the Y-shaped taillight design is also extremely regular.
Similarly, X-Trail also blackened the A-pillar, and the side of the car body also creates the effect of a suspended roof. However, in comparison, the lines of the new generation of X-Trail are more angular, and the silver lower guard shape at the tail has a bit of a "hard-sex" flavor. In terms of interior, the new Outlander uses a 12.3-inch full LCD digital instrument panel, a 10.25-inch central control display and head-up display HUD, keeping up with the current "technology"; and the large amount of soft material wrapped in the car, especially the diamond stitching used in the door trim and seats, which makes the interior of the vehicle more "home".

But if you look closely, this interior design is exactly the same as the design of the new generation of Qi-Trail. Both are simple and technological, with floating central control screens, exquisite gear handles, etc., which are very similar. The obvious difference between the two is the steering wheel, air conditioning outlet, and interior color scheme.

In terms of size, the new Outlander is fully lengthened, and its length, width and height have surpassed the new generation of X-Trail, but the wheelbase is 1 mm shorter than the X-Trail. In terms of seat layout, both offer 5-seat and 7-seat layouts, but from the perspective of visual effects, Outlander is larger than the X-Trail.
. In terms of the most critical power, the new Outlander is equipped with the Mitsubishi new generation 1.5T 4B40 four-cylinder engine , which is equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system, with a maximum horsepower of 2215 horsepower and a peak torque of 280N·m. In terms of transmission, it is matched with Nissan's CVT continuously variable transmission. Of course, Mitsubishi's signature S-AWC super all-wheel control system is not absent.
, while Nissan X-Trail is equipped with the Nissan VC-Turbo 300 engine standard for the entire series, which is the well-known three-cylinder 1.5T. Although the power and torque are amazing, with a maximum horsepower of 204 horsepower and a peak torque of 300N·m, many consumers still have "bias" about the three-cylinder engine .

From the perspective of product strength, the strength of the new Outlander is still remarkable. Not only is the appearance and interior comprehensively innovated, but it has significantly improved both fashion and technology; it also avoids the "mine zone" that the new generation of X-Trail stepped on after its launch, the size is comprehensively extended, and at the same time uses a 1.5T four-cylinder power, which is more suitable for the preferences of domestic consumers.
As for the price, the current pre-sale price of Outlander is 170,000-230,000 yuan. X-Trail also launched the Star Moon limited edition model some time ago, further lowering the threshold. The current price range is 179,900-262,900 yuan .From this point of view, if you can buy a model with the same platform and more cylinders with 10,000 or 20,000 yuan less, isn’t it obviously more fragrant than buying a three-cylinder X-Trail?
Of course, in terms of brand, service, and after-sales service, the gap between GAC Mitsubishi and Dongfeng Nissan is really not a small matter, and the gap between sales/after-sales terminals is even more visible to the naked eye. If you want to "sold" Nissan X-Trail, Mitsubishi's soft power seems to be insufficient. If you want to dispel the concerns of potential buyers, GAC Mitsubishi still has to think of a way.
