In the market below 200,000 yuan, Outlander is an interesting product, the comprehensive strength of the product performance is good, but the design inside and outside is too old-fashioned, so that it has not opened a broader market, has been in the niche SUV field to attract those who understand Oran consumers. Of course, this is also related to Mitsubishi's negative attitude towards the automotive industry, but as the cooperation between Nissan-Mitsubishi deepens, the new Outlander will meet with us soon.
In fact, Mitsubishi itself does not have much power to develop new cars, so this new Outlander is actually from the same platform as Nissan X-Trail, which means that in addition to the obvious differences in design between the two cars, the comprehensive performance of the entire product will become very close. So a friend may have to ask? This new Outlander, is it still Outlander? Ha, it depends on how you understand this car.
So let's first look at the design, the new shape is indeed very different from the previous pull, although the front of the car retains the family design elements, but the exaggerated headlight shape, let people feel that this thing seems to be a little too aggressive, but we can really feel that this car wants to pursue some sports elements through the silver guard plate exposed below. Some straight lines are used on the sides, and the shape of the wheel hub is quite textured. The tail design is decent, retaining a certain sense of stability.
Inside the car, it was clear that we could see some elements of Nissan's design. However, for the users of the old Outlander, to have such a cockpit design is already very considerate of the user's idea. Yes, this cockpit space I personally still like, the design size of the suspension central control screen is not exaggerated, retaining a certain number of physical buttons, the shape of the electronic gear lever is more stylish, the entire central control is divided into two by the air conditioner air outlet to increase the sense of hierarchy in space.
The design of the steering wheel is not amazing, but I personally don't think it is ugly. In addition, the diamond-shaped stitching design is adopted from the door part and the seat, and the overall texture is still excellent.
In terms of power, the car is expected to be equipped with a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine and give a plug-in hybrid version of the model. The fuel version is nothing to discuss, if the plug-in hybrid version arrives, it is likely to change Outlander's current position in the market, of course, I personally am still more optimistic about this car. As for the configuration information, we have not yet mastered, but the meaning should not be too backward.
So, is this car worth waiting? Some media said that this car will be officially unveiled in September this year, frankly, it is worth discussing whether it is worth waiting, it is still too early, we need to grasp more specific news, in order to provide you with more perfect advice.
If I'm from my personal standpoint, frankly I still don't like this look, I'm happy with the interior cockpit, but this front face shape makes me a little difficult to accept. Although plug-in hybrids are fragrant, there is no price as a reference and no value to discuss. Therefore, if it were me, I might recommend that others pay attention to this car, and I myself would not choose to wait for it.
