Check out this news that is coming to shake up the mid-size SUV market in Brazil: the new Mitsubishi Outlander! This machine promises to be the hottest launch of the year, with a cost-benefit ratio that will make competitors like the Corolla Cross tremble. Let’s learn more about this great car?
The new mid-size SUV from Mitsubishi is coming in strong, maintaining the tradition of being one of the most beloved models by Brazilians since the early 2000s. The Outlander has always been synonymous with reliability and technology, and now, with this new generation, it is more modern and sophisticated than ever. It is the result of the merger between the Renault-Nissan group and Mitsubishi and shares the same platform as the new Nissan X-Trail.
Engine and Performance of the Mitsubishi Outlander
Mitsubishi offers two engine options for the new Outlander. The base configuration comes with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine, producing 184 horsepower and 24.9 kgfm of torque, with a CVT automatic transmission that simulates up to seven gears. But the real star is the plug-in hybrid version, which is the one coming to Brazil.
