Mitsubishi’s passion for driving has created a blend of power, performance and aerodynamics that will have SUV fanatic connoisseurs instantly hooked to the undeniably stylish Outlander.
The Outlander is an exciting, 5-passenger crossover SUV, which combines bold styling, all-weather capability and urban utility in a compact package.
Powered by a V6 3.0-litre engine that delivers a 235 HP, the Outlander 2008 offers an ideal mix of comfort and performance.
Low RPM and a high torque provide smooth top-end power along with 18-inch alloy wheels and fuel-efficient acceleration – all designed to enhance driving performance. Off-road capabilities are further improved by the possibility of shifting the six-speed automatic transmission with Sports Mode paddle shifter, significantly expanding the driver's realm of possibilities.
A solid vehicle on all road surfaces, the Outlander 2008 with its electronically controlled 4WD unit ensures power is adequately distributed to all parts of the drive train depending on the driving condition or environment.
Furthermore, McPherson suspension struts up front and a multi-link coil-sprung arrangement at the rear guarantees superior vehicle control and stability with a decidedly light car sense of handling.
The Outlander’s flexible seating and expandable cargo space make trips to the supermarket a much simpler chore.
The versatile rear cabin area, with split, flat-folding rear seats, yields a generous cargo area that can handle a variety of stowage.
On the inside, the Outlander is a ‘crossover SUV’ complete with all the conveniences and interior styling cues one usually finds in luxury saloons.
The interior is covered by new leather seating comfort and intuitively laid-out gauges and controls, easily monitored from the ergonomically designed, multi-information display, ideally positioned to tell you everything with a glance.
The 650w Premium Rockford Fosgate 9-speaker sound system supports the inbuilt entertainment system that includes a DVD player which, on road trips, comes in handy.
Along with its unique styling, the Outlander’s precise driving performance and safety is carefully designed to achieve the numerous additions like the AWC (all wheel control), ABS with EBD (electronic brake force distribution system), ASC (active stability control), and 4 wheel disc brakes. But that’s not all; the Outlander supplies you with, an advanced collision safety body with the RISE, and a six airbag system.
