When Mitsubishi first entered China, it easily won most of the consumers in the domestic market, and the more famous ones were "Bobcat" and Outlander. However, with the gradual improvement of consumer requirements for automobiles, Mitsubishi has slowly stepped down from the altar, the reason is that it cannot reach the recognition of domestic consumers in design. Now the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander is currently on the market, of which the new car has added two new "Obsidian Version" models, let's take a look.
First of all, in terms of appearance, in fact, the reputation of this car in China is very high, after all, Mitsubishi's car is still relatively strict in terms of quality, but it will always be complained about by consumers in design. The design of the new model is only a slightly modified model, there are not many changes in the design, the middle net adopts a blackened treatment, with the role of the two sides of the "figure eight beard" decorative strips, so that the front face looks very sporty. And the headlights also adopt an integrated design with the middle net, which can make the front face have a wider visual effect.
The overall shape of the body side has not been changed too much, but the side skirt, rearview mirrors, wheels and tail wings and other places have been blackened to make the body look more sporty. It is worth mentioning that compared with the appearance of the ordinary version of the model, the Obsidian version adopts the black sports suite blessing and black wheels, making the sense of sport more complete.
The rear of the car also retains the design of the current model, although there is no obvious feature, but the simple style still highlights Mitsubishi's consistent "plain" design, simple and practical is the most important.
Interior design is also the same, but many netizens also complained that this design is too old, indeed, mechanical dashboards are almost eliminated today, but for some friends who like hardcore off-road vehicles, this mechanized design is still more popular. There is only an 8-inch LCD screen in the car, and only it can bring a little sense of technology to the car, and does not support CarPlay interconnection, only supports CarLife mobile phone interconnection, with car networking, online navigation and voice control, etc., to meet the needs of general cars.
In terms of power, the new car will be available in two power specifications, 2.0L and 2.4L. The 2.0L version has a maximum power of 122 kW and a maximum torque of 201 N·m. The 2.4L version has a maximum power of 141 kW and a maximum torque of 235 N·m. The drivetrain is still matched by the CVT stepless gearbox. In fact, the power performance of this car is more general, after all, its original intention is not a performance car, only to meet the general urban transportation.
In fact, Mitsubishi's biggest selling point in China today is word of mouth, there is no outstanding place in the design, and in terms of leather durability, it can be said that it is unforgettable, today's Outlander's influence in China is not as good as before, and how long can Mitsubishi rely on its reputation to fight in the market? Let's wait and see.
