  • Next Generation Mitsubishi Outlander Adopts Dynamic Shield Technology

    2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Front and Side ViewMitsubishi has revealed its new generation seven-passenger crossover in New York. This is a significant moment in company’s history because the vehicle comes to display the adoption of new design language. Different exterior, more engineering and design tweaks and greater driving experience define the car. Here we also see the application of the “Dynamic Shield” technology which has the capability to provide for both the occupants and the car.

    To go into details, we must first say that the chassis of the model offers increased body and suspension rigidity. Other important features include Electric Power Steering and noise-isolating windshield. As a matter of fact, the whole car has been insulated so well that it is very hard to hear any outer noise.

    Further great additions to the Outlander are the rear door glass, dynamic front suspension and rear differential dampers. The trim of the engine compartment has been also changed. Speaking of the powerplant, it will be mated to the new generation continuously-variable transmission as an option.

    The CVT will give the experience of quicker acceleration, better performance, faster shifts and improved torque delivery.

    Regarding the exterior, we have seen even from the teasers that the new Outlander stands out with a redesigned front fascia. It includes new front fenders, halogen headlights and LED position lights. At the sides, the car has lower door sections and power-folding side mirrors, but before them we see the huge 18-inch alloys. The back also received LED taillights and changed fascia. A lot of other cool stuff is also integrated in this Mitsubishi like the windshield wiper de-icer and LED headlights that are standard on the GT trim.

    Inside, the crossover has been also changed and this is visible through the remodeled steering wheel, leather wrapped seats and the accents all over the place. The occupants will enjoy display audio system, while the driver will see everything more clearly through the auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink.

    Speaking of safety, the 2016 Outlander features everything one needs: Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and more. There are no words on production start or on price, so we hope to get this information soon. What we want to ask you is whether you find this Mitsubishi appealing or not?

  • Mitsubishi Teasing 2016 Outlander Again

    2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Facelift Ten days ago Mitsubishi announced that it will introduce its Outlander facelift at the New York International Auto Show on 2nd of April. Now the brand has given us more hints of what this future SUV would look like and they are definitely exciting. First, there are two new teaser images that you can see below, which show a darkened view to the front and rear of the vehicle.

    Next, the Japanese company has also disclosed that the 2016 Outlander will be the first model in the range to apply company’s new design philosophy and innovations. The refinements made throughout it measure more than 100 engineering and design improvements. Some of them feature powerful and dynamic appearance and this is quite visible from the teasers.

    Mitsubishi also said that the refined crossover utility vehicle will be capable of delivering better road performance.

    Mitsubishi has also made sure that the occupants inside the car hear less outer noise, and experience better ride via the advancements achieved in the new ride, handling and throttle response. Inside, they will also enjoy interior that features more vivid and functional space.

    In other words the new Outlander promises to bring some buzz around Mitsubishi. It is matter of time to know whether this happens or not, but the highlights put on style, refinement and driving experience shows that things are moving in that direction.

  • Come See Mitsubishi Outlander Facelift in New York

    New York Auto Show is starting on 2nd of April and this is where we will see the birth of Mitsubishi Outlander facelift. The new model is heavily influenced by the Outlander PHEV Concept-S which we have seen in Paris last year. Since there is literally no information about the vehicle we will have to trust the rumors and to hope that there’s nothing unchanged from the concept.

    It appears that the front of the car will feature extensive use of “metallic” material such as the chrome. It has the typical for Mitsubishi nose, but a little bit different from the Parisian concept fog lights. We have also heard that the rear of the new model will be also fitted with chrome accents and will show-off with new and never-seen-before taillights.

    We do expect to see it running on alloys with new design and to see more luxurious interior. Are these expectations going to happen, it is only a matter of month to understand.

    There will be also a significant improvement in the hybrid system that the PHEV utilizes. The current version of the Outlander uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit, two electric motors and 12 kWh lithium-ion battery. It can only run on electricity up to 34 miles and we do expect to see some improvements regarding this matter. The maximum range is 547 miles and the car will be using only 1.6 liters per 100 km of fuel to cover them.

    At the show it is likely to see the updated Outlander Sport, too, so it is a good idea to visit it if you can. At last, we do expect to see the vehicle having a full reveal one week prior the event.
