Recently, Mitsubishi released a set of official pictures of the new Outlander PHEV, which is based on the new generation of Outlander launched in February. It is expected to be the first to be released in the Japanese market in mid-December, and it is expected to be introduced in China next year together with the fuel version. Finally, nearly 10 years have passed since the release of the third generation of Mitsubishi Outlander, and we have finally ushered in a new fourth generation of Mitsubishi Outlander. Mitsubishi's "life-saving medicine", 2.5L + four-wheel drive + seven-seater, the momentum is not lost to Highlander, there is a blockbuster style!
The appearance of the new generation of Outlander has changed a lot, the front part, most of the design of the new car adopts the design language of the Mitsubishi e-Yi concept car, the larger size of the split headlight group and the X-shaped front face shape have been retained, and these elements also make up Mitsubishi's latest family design language. Although the appearance of the new car does not look high, compared with the current model, it is still obviously tough and young.
The interior design of the new generation of Outlander is very Nissan style, including a full LCD instrument + suspension central control screen and a touch-type air conditioning control area, which is very technological, and the electronic gear handle is also highly similar to the new Qijun, but the stout four-frame multi-functional steering wheel is still Mitsubishi's stable style. In addition, the straight center console creates an open sense of space, and the large leather wrapping with seam treatment and the diamond-patterned leather seats bring a nice luxurious atmosphere.
From the side of the body, the new owner plays compact and capable, and the large-size close-spoke wheel shape further increases the sporty style of the car, and with the suspension roof and double waist line design, the overall sense of strength has also been strengthened a lot. If you only look at it from the side, I believe many people will feel that the tough new model and the rounded cash model are completely two cars in comparison.
In terms of the rear, in addition to retaining the large size of the tail wing of the current model, the others have also been adjusted, the taillights have been used on the flat inverted trapezoidal design, the exhaust pipe is to abandon the previous hidden design, using a conspicuous bilateral double out design, and then with those lines with obvious contours, it looks quite wide and atmospheric, it seems that Mitsubishi also knows that everyone has been complaining that the current Orlander looks too "narrow".
The new car is based on the platform of Nissan New X-Trail, but unlike the domestic 1.5T three-cylinder X-Trail, Outlander is equipped with a 2.5L self-priming four-cylinder as standard, and there is a 7-seat version and Mitsubishi's unique four-wheel drive S-AWC vehicle dynamic control technology, whether it is more worth waiting than Kijun, let's analyze in detail below.
