If you check the history of any motor vehicle, you can notice that each is the link in an evolution from time to time. It is the circumstances that force them to undergo evolution. They may be customer's preference, emission standards, competition from other cars in the same category so and so. Mitsubishi Outlander GT is an SUV which had to undergo an evolution due to the tight competition from Honda CRV. The result was the birth of the 'Sporty' Mitsubishi Outlander GT. An elaborate review of new Mitsubishi Outlander GT follows.
Design
The changes made in the front of new Mitsubishi Outlander GT gives it a musculine look. The reason behind this is the Jet Fighter Grill which reminds us that of Mitsubishi's Sports Sedan Evolution 10. The head lamps are also similar to that of Evo sedan.
The new Mitsubishi Outlander GT is built on the same platform as that of the SUVs Dodge Caliber, Chrysler Sebring and Mitsubishi Evolution 10. But the bumper and bonnet has been modified. Roof rails are in Silver color.
The High Intensity Discharge type headlamps have the ability to adjust light in accordance with the rotation of steering wheel. As a result, better road view is ensured in any condition including sharp turns. The outside rear view mirrors with turn indicators can be controlled electrically. These mirrors automatically fold when the car is locked after use.
The seats in Outlander GT provide a great level of comfort and support. The leather seats with biege color raises the standard of the interior. The glovebox, door trims, top of instrument panel and the steering are also covered in leather. The chrome rings around the A/C control panel nobes adds to the beauty of the interior. There is facility to adjust the temperature of the front seats.
The Sound System in new Outlander GT also has been modified. The 650 Watt Rockford Fosgate audio system has 9 speakers. This 6-CD player with USB and auxiliary port has also a 10 inch sub-woofer.
To make gear shifting easy, paddle shift facility also has been included. The slope of the steering wheel can be adjusted. Another feature present in new Outlander GT is electrically adjustable driver seats. Other features are : 16" alloys, head light washer system, Fog lamps, airbags etc.
Another exciting feature of Outlander GT is remote folding rear seats. If you press a button in the boot, the rear seats will be automatically folded and the bootspace increases from default 882 Liters to 1692 Liters.
Engine & Drive
The engine in the previous version of Outlander has been retained in the New Mitsubushi Outlander GT. The 2360cc 2.4L petrol engine which satisfies BS4 emission standards has a maximum power of 168Bhp @ 6000rpm and a maximum torque of 226Nm @ 4100rpm. Outlander GT has Sportronic CVT 6-speed Transmission.
Mounted in close proximity to the steering wheel, magnesium paddle shifters enhance sporty driving while ensuring that both hands stay safely on the steering wheel. Normally, up and down-shifting requires use of Sports Mode's '+' and '-' settings; using the paddle shifters while in 'D' range enables quicker, easier gear changes. Pulling the up-shift lever for more than two seconds returns the transmission to fully automatic mode. Clearly Displaying the drive mode on the multi-information display contributes to smoother, more fuel-efficient driving performance.
The engine's refinement should really be appreciated. The engine is so smooth that we can't know whether it is on or off. The 0-100 km time for Outlander is 10.2 seconds. The top speed of new Mitsubishi Outlander is 190 km/h.
New Mitsubishi Outlander uses 'All Wheel Control' technology in which instead of only the front or rear wheels, all four wheels are controlled independently to ensure superior handling in all driving conditions. Mitsubishi has made driver control the top priority throughout the design, construction, and testing, resulting in continually improving technologies, such as electronically controlled 4WD and our advanced 4-wheel independent suspension system. Apart, ABS with EBD and 4-wheel brakes ensure the safety of the passengers.
The mileage of Outlander is greater than that of Honda CRV. New Outlander has a mileage of 10.3 km/L.
Price
The price of new Outlander is 74,000 less than that of its predecessor. New outlander is worth Rs. 19.97 lakhs.
