Pricing: New Mitsubishi Outlander hits South African showrooms

First revealed in early 2021, the new-generation Mitsubishi Outlander has finally reached South Africa.

The new midsize SUV is available in two flavours, with the GLS model retailing at R729 995 and the Aspire commanding R759 995.

Forged through the Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi Alliance, the new Outlander shares much of its DNA with the latest Nissan X-Trail, although Mitsubishi has endowed it with unique exterior styling, based on the I-Fu-Do-Do Japanese product concept, which translates to “authentic and majestic”.

Power comes from Nissan’s normally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol mill, which offers 135kW and 245Nm, with power going to all four wheels through an eight-step CVT gearbox and AWD system.

The system incorporates Active Yaw Control, which controls the braking and distribution of torque between left and right wheels for enhanced safety and traction in tricky driving conditions.

To tailor the driving experience, drivers can select one of six driving modes – Eco, Normal, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow and Mud.

 
Quick fact:

The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander shares the same engine as the 2023 Nissan X-trail

REVIEW: Stylish and refined new Mitsubishi Outlander is well worth a look

Buyers are spoilt for choice in this segment with the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, Nissan X-Trail, Isuzu mu-X, Toyota Fortuner and the already mentioned Pajero Sport looking for owners especially if you want seven seats.

But do yourself a favour and put the Mitsubishi Outlander on your list if you’re shopping around in that market.

It comes with a three-year/100 000km warranty, five-year unlimited mileage roadside assistance and a five-year/90 000km service plan.

Part 1 - Is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) really ready for the Australian Outback? | Auto Expert John Cadogan​


Part 2- Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: Torture tested in the Flinders Ranges! | Auto Expert John Cadogan​

Mitsubishi says the Outlander PHEV is "rugged ready" - but it rolls off the production line with no spare tyre. In this report I investigate the feasibility of touring the Australian Outback - responsibly - in a vehicle of this nature.

Can it (literally) handle the heat, and what do you have to change to do this safely? This is also the first time I have ever driven an electrically-driven AWD system off road. Is it better, or worse, than ICE?

 
Mitsubishi Outlander range topped and tailed with three new models for SA

Until now the Mitsubishi Outlander has operated in the shadows of the midsized SUV market, but the local importer wants to change that with a newly expanded line-up.

The latest generation Outlander, now based on the Nissan X-Trail, was initially available in just two flavours - GLS and Exceed - when it was launched locally in mid-2023.

But now the range is being expanded to include the new entry-level GL, midrange GLS Plus and range-topping Exceed.

All are powered by the familiar 2.5-litre normally aspirated petrol engine, paired with a CVT gearbox with eight programmed steps. The engine produces 135kW and 245Nm and power goes to all four wheels through Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control system.
