Mitsubishi's Outlander believes that non-young guys are one of the more familiar SUVs. It is named for its cost-effectiveness, pure imports, and leather resistance in the Chinese market, and even some netizens call Outlander "Pingdi Highlander".
Outlander was born in Japan in 2001 under the name "Airtrek", and after 2003, it was unified with the name "Outlander" to the world, and it was also introduced to the Chinese market again. This classic city SUV is The sales burden of Mitsubishi, which is quite popular overseas, but in the past two years in China, sales have declined more severely. Full-year sales in 2021 were 56,000, down 12% year-on-year; compared to 144,000 units in 2018, it is indeed slightly embarrassing.
However, the good reputation that Outlander has built over the years has not marginalized it, and many fans and users are still looking forward to seeing its upgrade. Previously, there have been domestic attempts to replace mitsubishi Outlander models.
In terms of silhouette, it follows the shape of the new generation of overseas Outlander. For reference, the overseas version entered the Australian market in February this year, with a price range of 34,490 Australian dollars to 49,900 Australian dollars, equivalent to about 160,000 to 240,000 yuan. OK, let's go back to the upcoming domestic version of Outlander!
In terms of appearance, the new Outlander adopts Mitsubishi's latest Dynamic Shield family design language, citing the popular split light group, the middle mesh area is divided into 3 details from top to bottom, and the horizontal chrome grille + black mesh grille looks very off-road. Below is the silver skid plate. The whole front face reveals an outdoor domineering style, it is not the kind of "home warm man", more like a "macho man who loves extreme challenges".
It is worth mentioning that on the overseas official map, we see that there is "OUTLANDER" above the Mitsubishi logo. This feeling, a cursory look, personally feels a bit of a Land Rover meaning.
Coming to the side of the body, although the zebra stripe jacket is camouflaged deeply, we can still see some elements when combined with overseas models: 20-inch large wheels, suspended roof design, and hexagonal folding of the rear. The tail light group was widened and designed as a U-shaped concave shape.
I believe that the new generation of Outlander adopts the same CMF-CD platform as Nissan X-Trail, and everyone has heard about it. Therefore, in terms of size, although the current domestic version of Outlander has not announced the official parameters, it should not be much different from overseas models. The overseas version of the body is 4709mm long, 1861mm wide, 1747mm high, and has a wheelbase of 2705mm, which is slightly higher than Qijun (4681/1840/1730mm, wheelbase is 2706mm), and the wheelbase remains the same. If you follow this size out of the 7-seat version, I believe the third row will be quite depressed.
In the interior part, judging from the spy photos, the new Outlander's sense of technology has been further improved. The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel + 9-inch + 9-inch suspension central control screen is also equipped with a new electronic barrier bar. It is worth mentioning that it is reported that the new generation of Outlander's car machine system is likely to be equipped with Huawei's Hongmeng system.
In the power part, although the new car is on the same platform as X-Jun, it does not use a three-cylinder engine, and is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine codenamed 4B40, with a maximum power of 125kW and a peak torque of 250Nm. However, its power is different from That of X-Jun's 1.5T three-cylinder engine, which, for reference, has a maximum power of 150kW and a peak torque of 300Nm.
In addition, on the high-end four-wheel drive model, the new Outlander is expected to be equipped with a 2.5-liter self-priming engine, matching the CVT transmission, and equipped with the Super All-Wheel Control four-wheel drive system, two sets of power to meet different car needs.
Write at the end
The new domestic Outlander (internal code name DG) will be released in September, and the internal price range is between 180,000 and 220,000 yuan. We know that Nissan X-Trail has been mixed since it left the factory as a three-cylinder engine. Some friends who originally wanted to buy X-Jun have also retracted their hands, so will the use of the same platform as X-Jun, but the use of four-cylinder machine Orlander, will it become a better choice if you want to buy a Japanese SUV?
Do you think that those who want to buy X-Trail and want the four-cylinder, they will choose the new Outlander? Leave a message to discuss it!
