The 183-inch Outlander is the first Mitsubishi to go on sale using the company's all-new GS platform. Power is supplied by the same 168-hp 2.4-liter MIVEC sixteen-valve engine that appears in the D:5 concept. The Outlander has a six-speed CVT, three-mode AWC (All Wheel Control) all-wheel drive, and electronic stability control.
Seating for five or seven passengers means the Outlander is ready for American shores, and PSA (Peugeot/Citron) will develop its own SUV based on this Outlander for Europe in 2007.
