Mitsubishi says that the new Outlander's will feature the "same uncluttered quality look" inside the cabin with higher grade materials that include padded surfaces, soft-touch finish, silver accents and gloss black appliqués along with a new multifunctional steering wheel and "easy-to-read instrument displays".
The Outlander will also gain a power tailgate and sport full third row seating and a flat floor cargo area.
Under the hood, the new Outlander will launch in Europe towards the end of summer with a choice of two four-cylinder engines, including a revised 2.0-liter MIVEC petrol or 2.2-liter MIVEC Clean Diesel, in both FWD and four-wheel drive variants. Depending on the market and the engine, an Auto Stop & Go system as well as an all-new 6-speed automatic transmission will also be available.
In early 2013, Mitsubishi will add a new plug-in hybrid powertrain combining a 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol engine with a pair of electric motors, one on each axle. According to the company, the Outlander plug-in hybrid will allow for a driving range and very low CO2 emissions similar to that of the PX-MiEV II concept at over 800 km (~500 miles) and a target of below 50 g/km, respectively.
The new Outlander will first go on sale in Russia early this summer followed by Europe in late summer, Japan, Oceania, China and North America.
