Mitsubishi’s 2022 Outlander SUV will be priced from $34,490 when it goes on sale in November.
Outlanders will be sold in two- and all-wheel drive versions and in ES, LS, Aspire and Exceed trim levels. Topping the range is the $49,990 Exceed Tourer.
Underpinned by a newly developed platform and powertrain, the new Outlander features upgraded standard driver connectivity and assistance systems and a re-engineered, upgraded version of the Super All-wheel Control (S-AWC)1 all-wheel drive system.
It rides on 18-inch or 20-inch wheels, depending on the model, and all variants from the LS up are seven seaters.
New Outlanders are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible, and wireless smartphone charging is standard on LS models and above.
The Outlander’s platform was designed in partnership in the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance. Hot stamped ultra-high tensile-strength steel used in key areas, increasing torsional rigidity.
The engine is a newly-developed petrol 2.5-litre four-cylinder mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with paddle shift Sport mode to access eight pre-set gear ratios.
A new ‘drive by wire’ gear shifter combines with new CVT control logic to deliver a more direct shift operation and a more “natural” automatic gearbox-like feeling under hard acceleration.
