After the successful launch of its L200 sport-utility-truck earlier this year and prior to another most important introduction, Mitsubishi Motors will unveil 'Outlander-Concept' in Paris.
A derivative of the all-new Outlander launched in Japan in October 2005 and now the best selling compact SUV in Japan (20,041 sales October 2005 / May 2006), Outlander-Concept will preview the upcoming Euro-spec. Outlander.
To be launched in Europe during the first quarter of 2007, Outlander will allow Mitsubishi Motors to enter the fastest growing SUV segment (up 54% from 325,000 in 2001 to 500,000 in 2006 and with further 35% growth expected between 2006 and 2009), right in the heart of this sector.
Outlander-Concept will also preview in Europe an all-new global C-segment platform that MMC has engineered for world markets, plus advanced technology based on Mitsubishi Motors' AWC (All Wheel Control) concept and proven through its motor sport activities.
Legitimate by heritage, Outlander-Concept proposes a new dimension to an increasingly crowded and predictable segment through design, technology and features.
Design
With its Europe-only 'Mount Fuji' grille, the 4.64 m long Outlander-Concept is a further showcase of Mitsubishi Motors' strong visual identity, while its wide stance, muscular fenders and sharp lines leave no doubt about its dynamic abilities.
Lean, Outlander-Concept brings drama without gratuitous effects, its kicked-up window line, piercing headlamps and 20' specific wheels giving the appearance of permanent motion.
It will be presented in a sporty metallic red with silver accents (roof rails, side body strips, door handles, front skid-plate, grille surround).
Technology
Neither an authentic off-roader like Pajero* nor a jacked-up station wagon, Outlander-Concept is a no-compromise solution for a different type of recreational vehicle. Using the in-built adaptability of MMC's new global platform, it brings passenger car-like levels of active safety and driving pleasure, whilst its Mitsubishi 'All Wheel Control' drive system allows a smooth progression off the beaten tracks, up to a 'Lock 4WD' mode.
Outlander-Concept is powered by a derivative of the Volkswagen AG-supplied 1,968 cc, turbo-charged w/intercooler, DOHC, 16-valve, EU-4 compliant Diesel engine fitted to the recent Grandis Di-D. Mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, in Outlander-Concept it produces an estimated 103kW / 140 ps.
Features
Flexible in essence, Outlander-Concept has been designed as a stylish living space, able to suit all requirements and with features to match, be it entertainment (650W 9-speaker Rockford Fosgate® premium audio system), seating (clever 'Hide&SeatÔ' 3rd row for 5+2 accommodation) or utility (split tailgate and auto-folding function for the 2nd row seats).Source - Mitsubishi
