New Outlander 2.4L introduced

MITSUBISHI Motors Malaysia (MMM) today officially introduced the new locally-assembled Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4L SUV. It will be sold alongside the locally-assembled Outlander 2.0L which was introduced in September last year.

4WD system and performance

The new Outlander 2.4L is powered by a proven 2.4L engine with 164.7hp and 222Nm of torque. The double-overhead-camshaft MIVEC engine is paired with CVT transmission with paddle shifters for even better control.
“With many years of winning experience in the gruelling Dakar Rally under its belt, Mitsubishi is a specialist in rugged 4WD vehicles. By improving traction on slippery surfaces and stability, 4WD plays a role in active safety – it is especially valuable on SUVs with tall bodies and a high centre of gravity.”
The Outlander comes with an intelligent 4WD system as standard across the range. Unlike on-demand 4WD systems in rival SUVs, the Multi-Select 4WD system in the Outlander has three selectable modes – 4WD Eco, 4WD Auto and 4WD Lock - to suit all conditions and terrain.
Safety features
“Safety is the Outlander's strongest suit,” MMM said. Together with seven airbags, 4WD, ABS and EBD, Brake Assist, Active Stability & Traction Control (ASTC), Hill Start Assist and ISOFIX child seat mounts are standard. The SUV also boasts a strong Mitsubishi Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body construction.
In addition, the electronic parking brake available in the 2.4L comes with Auto Hold Assist function that allows one to wait at the traffic light or traffic jams without the need to step on the brakes. The Brake Override System is another feature that works as a failsafe measure, prioritising the brakes if both the brake and accelerator pedals are pressed simultaneously.
Other helpful safety features include Rest Reminder, which reminds the driver to take a break when fatigue steps in. The new all-round monitor in the Outlander 2.4L assists parking and lane-changing by providing a 360-degree bird's eye view of the vehicle and its surroundings including blind spots on the central screen with integrated guide lines for front, side and rear view.
All Outlanders now come with a digital video recorder that captures every moment or incident while one is on the move. The Outlander also comes with security and solar film for glass surfaces for extra safety and privacy.
Premium features
The new Outlander 2.4L has a stylish and bold design, thanks to Mitsubishi's signature “dynamic shield” face. The SUV comes with full LED headlights and LED daytime running lights in front, plus LED tail lights to provide superior illumination and a striking look. Eighteen inch alloy wheels are standard across the range, while the 2.4L has a new stylish two-tone wheel design plus an aerodynamic rear spoiler.
Within the stylish body that is spotted with a sunroof is a spacious seven-seater cabin with ample room for the entire family. The Outlander boasts best-in-class cargo volume of 1,608 litres with the second and third-row seats folded. A powered electronic tailgate with anti-pinch function provides valuable convenience.
A seven-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay functionality allows for seamless connection between iPhone and car. The screen comes with Air Gesture Control for added convenience. Other standard equipment includes automatic headlamps and wipers, and keyless entry with push start button.
With best-in-class safety features, premium and stylish design, and a family-pleasing combination of space and versatility, the locally-assembled Mitsubishi Outlander with improved value is now ready for viewing at all Mitsubishi showrooms nationwide.
Three colours are available: Ruby Black, Red Metallic and Solar White. Ruby Black is a new colour and is available exclusively for the Malaysian market.
The new Outlander 2.4L SUV is priced at RM155, 000. Mitsubishi Motors is currently having a Chinese New Year promotion of discounts up to RM4,000 for the Outlander. There is also a two-year free maintenance and standard factory warranty of five years and unlimited mileage.
