2013 Mitsubishi Outlander – First Look

The Japanese from Mitsubishi figured that it would be time to add a new model to the already famous series – the Outlander; and what better time to do it than at the Geneva Motor Show. Rumors are, that there will also be a hybrid version of this car.

The new crossover, the 2012 Outlander is dimensionally the same as the previous model. The exterior, though, gets a revised design, governed by the “Solid – Safe – Simple” idea, which combines solid features with smooth surfaces.

The interior has also been partially redesigned, now getting new ergonomic commands and easier to use instruments.

The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander will come with two engine options: a 2.0-liter gasoline MIVEC and a Clean Diesel 2.2-liter MIVEC. These engines will be paired with either a front-wheel drive system, or an all-wheel drive.

In order to get as little pollution out of this car as possible, it will have the Auto Stop & Go system available as an option in some countries.

The transmission is also new, this one being an automatic six-gear. The Outlander features an application which is capable of monitoring the driving mode to obtain as many miles per gallon as possible.

After the Geneva presentation, the car will be first launched in Russia, during this year’s summer. It will be available in Europe at the beginning of fall.

We’ll update you after more information has been released.
