New Mitsubishi Outlander Launching Soon; Will Compete Against Upcoming Honda CR-V

The Outlander will be a petrol-only 7-seater SUV & will compete against the new CR-V

We reported earlier that the third-gen Outlander bookings are underway in India and it will be available with only a petrol motor. It will be available as a CBU (completely built unit) and, therefore, not expected to be priced very aggressively. The Outlander has now started reaching dealerships and is even on display at some. The Japanese SUV will compete against the upcoming Honda CR-V.

The third-gen Mitsubishi Outlander offers three rows of seating and an all-black interior design. It will be available only in a single but fully loaded variant with features such as LED headlamps with auto leveling function, 16-inch alloy wheels, sunroof, LED tail lamps, dual-zone climate control, and a 710W Rockford Fosgate sound system to complement a 6.1-inch infotainment screen.

Under the hood is a 2.4-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine which develops 167PS@6000rpm and 222Nm@4200rpm, coupled to a 6-speed CVT gearbox with paddle shifters. The transmission sends power to the Mitsubishi Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) setup. Related: New Mitsubishi Outlander Bookings Open

Since its a CBU, you'll get generous levels of safety features on offer such as 7 airbags, ABS with EBD, active stability control, hill start assist system, cruise control, and rear parking camera with parking sensors. We expect Mitsubishi to price it around the Rs 30 lakh mark.
