Mitsubishi’s third SUV offering in the country after the Montero and the Pajero, the Outlander has been launched in the country. The Outlander has been a very successful vehicle for Mitsubishi in Europe, North America and Japan.
The car comes with a 2.4 liter 16 valve MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and Electronic Control) engine. The power output is rated at 170 PS @ 6000 rpm and the torque figures stand at 226 NM @ 4100 rpm. The engine is a light weight unit made of aluminum and also uses some plastic bits like the intake headers to keep weight in check.

The soft roader is targeted at the urban customer who travels mainly on city roads but likes to get a bit of sand in the face everynow and then. Hence it comes with three drive modes, namely the 2WD, 4WD and 4WD Lock. Each mode can be switched on the fly and should give the car some sort of off road credentials. It’s the Pajero’s little brother after all.
The transmission is a six speed CVT with paddle shifter behind the steering wheel. The price is a little off of the Honda rival. While the CR-V starts at just above Rs. 17 lakh for the 2 liter version and goes all the way up to higher end of Rs. 19 lakh for the 2.4 liter automatic, the Outlander is pegged at Rs. 20.20 lakh (ex-showroom). Let’s see how things pan out for the new Mitsu.
