MITSUBISHI TENDS TO RUN models longer than some other manufacturers, so when they announce an update, it’s always news.
The long-running Outlander is about to be replaced by an all-new model, currently undergoing final tuning and testing. The all-new Outlander will make its global debut on Tuesday, February 16 and introduce the company’s latest Super All-Wheel Control system.
The all-new Outlander was put through its paces, as the system’s final calibrations were developed in severe weather and road conditions. Redesigned and reimagined in every way, the vehicle will be bigger and bolder than the previous generations.
With a knowledge base proven over years of competition in the deserts of Dakar and on the slippery dirt-covered and snow-packed roads of the world’s rally circuits, the all-new Outlander builds on a heritage forged by the Pajero/Pajero Sport cross-country SUV. Engineers focused on building a crossover SUV that embodies the Mitsubishi Motors DNA and the product concept “I-Fu-Do-Do”, which, while sounding like gibberish, actually means “authentic and majestic”, so we are told. The all-new Outlander is set to deliver the highest level of manoeuvrability and superb driving performance.
“We took everything we know about on- and off-road driving from the rally experiences to apply the latest Super All-Wheel Control technology in our newly developed platform,” said Kentaro Honda, segment chief vehicle engineer (lead engineer) for the all-new Outlander. “We also specifically developed a new drive mode selector to provide confident driving at all times and in all weather conditions. We hope that many customers will have great experiences with the enhanced driving performance of the all-new Outlander.”
