All-new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander first view
Mitsubishi importers and dealers across Europe are probably looking at the 2022 Outlander with a mixture of envy, frustration and anger. That’s because they won’t get to sell it, following the brand’s recent decision to stage an ordered withdrawal from the continent.
The impending exit is the result of a revised strategy for the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance, which now sees each manufacturer concentrating on their core markets.
Such an approach appears to make good business sense. However, the logic rather falls down when taking into account the continued success of the current-generation Mitsubishi Outlander. Indeed, the PHEV variant has been the UK’s most popular plug-in hybrid SUV for the past six years; 3,736 units were registered in 2020 alone.
The all-new Outlander is definitely going to be offered in North America, though. Deliveries are due to begin there in April 2021, with MSRPs for the United States starting from $25,795 plus a $1,195 destination charge ($1,220 in Alaska and Hawaii).
Bold styling incorporates a Dynamic Shield front grille arrangement, a ‘floating’ roof and either 18” or 20” wheels.
Inside, three rows of seating are standard across the range. Depending on the trim grade, the equipment list can also include semi-aniline leather upholstery and a Bose audio system.
Furthermore, a fully digital cockpit is possible by combining a 12.3” instrument cluster, a 10.8” colour head-up display and a 9” central infotainment screen. Adaptive cruise control and autonomous lane keeping are available too, as part of the MI-PILOT Assist suite of technologies.
Mitsubishi hasn’t confirmed technical specifications yet, but power is provided by a 2.5 litre four-cylinder engine. Customers will be faced with a choice of either two- or four-wheel drive transmissions.
