2016

Making an important contribution to the Mitsubishi Outlander’s
efficiency and eco-friendly nature is a new driver-activated
ECO-mode setting that is standard on all
current Outlander models. ECO-mode helps to further
reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by optimising
engine power on initial acceleration as well as
the airflow volume of the air conditioning. Furthermore,
when Outlander models equipped with All-Wheel Control
(AWC) are driven with 4WD engaged, the driver-activated
ECO-mode will allow the vehicle to function as
a 2WD vehicle until sensors instantaneously reactivate
the 4WD system when deemed necessary, for instance
in poor road or weather conditions.
Facelifted in 2016 as a 2016 model the new Outlander
features a revised exterior design with a redesigned
front fascia together with new front fenders, halogen
headlights, LED position lights, LED Daytime running
lights, lower door sections, 18-in. alloy wheels, rear
fascia and LED taillights. The reconfigured interior includes
a redesigned steering wheel, seating surfaces,
accent trim, rear folding seat and headliner.
This new Mitsubishi is clearly recognized by its high
flanks, raised beltline, uncluttered surfaces, and softcontoured
fenders. Understated yet assertive, the
Outlander’s exterior design is further enhanced by a
slim front aerodynamic grille with distinctive hockeyshaped
chromed strips that envelop and shield the
three-diamond Mitsubishi logo, in-between the feline
look of the sculptured wrap-around headlamps.
With its smooth surfaces and crisp, modern lines, the
new exterior design of the Outlander lends the Japanese
automobile manufacturer’s latest head-turning
creation an air of elevated status and sophistication
more akin to crossover vehicles residing within a
much loftier price point.
With such an eye-catching, thoroughly modern allnew
sheet-metal design, the Mitsubishi Outlander is
also one of the most aerodynamically-efficient vehicles
in its class. Another great contributor to the new
Outlander’s excellent fuel economy is the extensive
use of highly-tensile steel in the car’s body; it now tips
the scales about 200 pounds less than the body of the
previous-generation vehicle.
Not to be outdone, the new Outlander’s clean, contemporary-looking
interior also received an entirely new
makeover that features vastly improved premium surfaces
and high-grade materials including a soft-touch instrument
panel, and an attractive high-gloss piano black
center console panel. In addition, the driver-centric design
includes ergonomic steering wheel controls as well
as high-resolution and easy-to-read instrument displays.
Helping to make the cabin exceptionally quiet is an
abundant use of high-grade sound insulation material
throughout the vehicle. And for additional comfort and
improved ergonomics, all seven of the passenger seating
sections have been completely reconfigured - with
the designers paying particular attention to making the
