Priced at Rs. 20.55 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi, the new offering from Mitsubishi now comes with a seven-seat layout
Just two weeks after the launch of the new Pajero, Japanese car maker
Mitsubishi has launched a seven-seater version of the Outlander SUV.
Earlier launched in 2010, the Outlander retains the 2.4-litre motor on
the outgoing model that delivers 170PS of power and 226Nm of torque
mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox.
From the outside, the new Outlander doesn’t look too different from
the earlier model, sans the fighter jet-inspired grille that enhances
its aggressive stance. Inside, the third-row seating with tumble
function can now accommodate children. The car remains as feature-rich
as before with keyless entry, a Rock Ford Fosgate
710-watt six CD changer with USB port, split tailgate, paddle shifts,
cruise control and a 3-spoke steering wheel with integrated audio
controls.
Launched in just a single variant, the new Outlander comes with HID
(High-Intensity-Discharge) headlamps with adaptive frontlight system or
AFS. Safety features comprise ABS and EBD along with RISE (Reinforced
Impact Safety Evolution) body and dual front passenger airbags. At Rs
20.55 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi, the Outlander is now priced a notch
above than the previous model.
The car-maker has been relatively slow in bringing its products to
the country. Whether it has been the Lancer, the Lancer Cedia or the
ultimate Lancer Evolution X, the company is taking one step at a time.
However, with the back-to-back launch of the Pajero Sport and the new
Outlander, HM-Mitsubishi seems
to have turned a new leaf. The new Pajero also bowled over automotive
journalists and buyers alike with its dapper looks and extreme
off-roading capabilities.
