Show car Outlander 3 version. Mitsubishi Outlander III - model description. Buy reliable add-ons for Mitsubishi
Hello reader! Finally, I'm ready to write my own review about Outlander 3. Briefly about the choice! He owned all sorts of cars .... there is experience. The main thing that interested me in the car was its safety. Outlander, on a par with Subaru Forester, are the safest in the class (Volvo, of course, is not bad either))), of course, but this is completely different money and class), which is confirmed by IIHS (American Institute of Highway Safety) and EuroNCAP (European committee for independent car crash tests with assessment active safety and passive safety). The second thing that interested me, in connection with frequent long-distance trips, is reliability, which Outlander has always been in order. However, this is the third generation, which has not undergone any strong changes, except for external ones. The third thing that attracted me was the spaciousness and comfort in the cabin. The ergonomics of the dashboard, for me, the former owner of SAAB, is very close to the reference. One cup holders 10 pieces. For passengers in the back there is more than space. There is nothing to say about the design of the car ... From a certain angle, Outlander is not so hot ... What the engineers fixed with restyling in the new Outlander, which has been sold since May 12, 2014. Bottom line: Mitsubishi Outlander 3, Instyle grade, crankcase, floor mats - 1,305,000 at a discount. Offered for a surcharge maximum configuration... I didn’t take it. Xenon, headlight washers and electric trunk are, of course, good, but navigation, which does not work, costs 63,000 ... a divorce. So the result of ownership. It turned out to be very quick and convenient to settle in the driver's seat. With my height of 186 cm, there is more than room for the driver and passengers. The adjustment of the steering wheel in all directions helps very well in this. The trunk is large, etc. I don't really want to write about the pros, they are already obvious: the clearance is 215 mm., The full drive can be switched off, etc. I will go straight to the description of the problems that the buyer may face this car in operation. Just want to warn you that I have a Japanese car assembly and all the shoals that I will describe are Japanese shoals. Let's start with breakdowns. At 34,000, the size bulb in the headlight burned out. IT'S ALL. (According to the law of the Russian Federation, during the day I constantly drive with the included dimensions). Let's move on to the jambs of the car. The most severe frost, in which I started Outlander - 26. Started up as usual. But before leaving the parking lot, I noticed that the self-folding rear-view mirrors did not turn away into the working position. After waiting 15 minutes for the car to warm up and persistently pressing the button for folding and unfolding the rear-view mirrors, I realized that there was no way to wait for a miracle. Since the car is under warranty, I was not particularly worn out and turned the mirrors by force. True, they do not particularly hold in the position set by force, but at least something can already be seen from behind when rebuilding. By the way, due to the fact that it was gradually getting warmer, I noticed that the right rear-view mirror starts to work at - 22, and the left at - 18. It's not pleasant, but when you know this jamb, you can just turn off the folding of the mirrors at a certain temperature. But I doubt that someone will remember this until they again encounter such a problem next year)))). Further, with regard to interior decoration... From above, the Japanese decided to deviate from their principles and improve the car with not the cheapest plastic, thanks to them for that. But here is the plastic that is on the bottom, I mean the bordochek and the bottom of the driver's armrest just atas. And I'm not talking about whether this plastic is cheap or expensive. When you touch it to open the bezel or insert the phone into the armrest for charging, the plastic just scratches. And if a girl with an expensive manicure decides to open the bordochek, this is a guard. When sold, this joint will clearly be a problem. As for the softness or stiffness of the suspension. Here the Japanese found the golden mean: not expensive service, handling and normal ride. I did not notice any excessive rigidity on 18 disks. Does not read Cyrillic on multimedia. The last time I remember that was in the first MP3 players. You are looking for some kind of song on a flash drive and you cannot find it, only by listening to each song you can find the desired track. Not convenient, and somehow Russophobic. Voice control... That's bullshit. I do not have any speech defects and then, I could not always find a common language with Outlander. I set up everything I needed and forgot that this misunderstanding is in the complete set of the car. The rear view camera gets dirty, but all the same, it is more convenient than parking sensors. Do not put napkins in the pocket of the door and wipe it. Now about the painful and unchanged for Mitsubishi. Noise isolation. She is very weak. At a speed of up to 90, in principle, it is normal, but at a speed of 110 it starts to strain. I very often go on long business trips and I really regret that I did not immediately do additional noise insulation, which, by the way, costs 30,000 for all cars in the MSC. Speakers in Outlander ... I can't say for sure. I want to tell you one case. When I called the official about installing a decent audio system, they asked me for a complete set, and when they heard that I wanted to do it in the Instyle package, they told me this phrase - "make the door soundproof and you will hear how your speakers actually sound, and just change speakers without noise isolation make no sense. " When I make Shumkov, I will unsubscribe. Well, now the most unpleasant joint in Outlander. Of course, steering... No information content. You twist, it seems to turn, but on a straight line, the steering wheel does not always stand straight and goes straight. You can, of course, shove him to the collapse, but no, everything is in order with him. This is the last feature of the Japanese electric amplifier. And they shove, "this", an electric booster on most cars. About handling and stability on the road. Everything is good. At a speed of 140 km. you can go to the dacha and not bathe. Everything is in order in the corners. But here, too, there was a small problem associated with ignorance. In winter, I went on another long trip and noticed that my steering wheel was beating. But the car after the MOT, and I did the replacement of the tires at the officials. Yes, and already drove a couple of thousand ... I won't write for a long time. You just had to wash the discs thoroughly. Do not rush to balance and throw money away. Acceleration in a car ... I fully pressed the pedal twice: check the acceleration after purchase in drive mode and on the petals. That says it all. As for the fuel consumption (92 - which is very pleasing). The city has an average of 11-13 liters. On the track, it all depends maximum speed... If you go 90 km / h, then you can keep within 7 liters. If you go 120 - 130 km / h, the average is somewhere around 9.5 - 10.5. In the city, if you drive carefully, with constant switching to nitrate, you can drive with a consumption of 8.2. I tried it myself. Now about the service. The first TO - 15,000 at a cost of 10,500 rubles. No problems were identified. The second TO - 30,000 at a cost of 17,500 rubles. We replaced the electric power steering I mentioned earlier under warranty. I don’t know why. Nothing changed. There was no other investment in the car. That's it. Take care of yourself dearly!
Mitsubishi outlander III (Mitsubishi Outlander) - five-door station wagon off-road, representing the third generation of Outlander crossovers. According to the European classification, Mitsubishi Outlander 3 belongs to the class "K1" (compact SUV cars). In Russia, the Third Generation Outlander is officially classified as M1G - SUVs. Due to the popularity of this model in the domestic market, the company's management decided to manufacture a new Mitsubishi Outlander since 2012 at the PSMA RUS plant in Kaluga. The price of the new Outlander ranges from 899,000 to 1,519,990 rubles.
Review of the new Mitsubishi Outlander - description and specifications
The debut of the 3rd generation Mitsubishi Outlander took place at the International Geneva Motor Show in the spring of 2012. The story associated with the appearance of a serial sample of the Mitsubishi Outlander 2012 model year, deserves special attention, since it may well claim the laurels of a textbook example of a hidden strategy in any decent book about marketing wars. The fact is that the overwhelming majority of experts were firmly convinced that the Mitsubishi Outlander New would be created in the image and likeness of the PX MiEV concept, shown to the general public at the Tokyo Auto Show in 2009. In turn, the leadership of the Mitsubishi Motors media service, with cunning worthy of legendary ninjas, was in no hurry to convince anyone of anything. About the upcoming Mitsubishi crossover Outlander third generations talked a lot, but no one saw him. And this piqued the curiosity of an army of thousands of connoisseurs of cars of this family. Moreover, about six months before the official presentation of the Mitsubishi Outlander 2012, the president of the company, Mr. Osamu Masuko, puzzled the global automotive community with a statement that the first foreign country in which the new Outlander model will be sold is ... Russia. It goes without saying that such a turn of events puzzled jealous Europeans and Americans enough. Therefore, the upcoming premiere of the 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander was as much anticipated as it was discussed.
The Geneva debut of the Outlander III crossover surprised everyone - both professionals and ordinary fans of Mitsubishi cars. As it turned out, the creators of the updated Mitsubishi Outlander "forgot" about the aggressive sports forms of the Tokyo concept car. Moreover, the developers almost completely dissociated themselves from the popular Mitsubishi Jet Fighter brand style, which for last years has become the hallmark of many popular models of the "stables" of the Japanese brand. As the chief designer of the company explained: “Jet Fighter's aggressive aesthetics remain the prerogative of passenger cars... Serious machines cannot afford such youthful frivolity. "
By creating crossover Mitsubishi Outlander new generations, the developers were guided by the rule of "three S" - Safe (safety), Solid (solidity), Simple (simplicity). These postulates, according to the authors of the project, underlie another direction of the corporate design of Mitsubishi cars, which received from the creators the poetic name "Climbing Mount Fuji" (Eng. Mount Fuji fashion).
The predatory ultimatum of the concept was replaced by the elegant smoothness of the ascending lines and the emphasized status of the serial "troika", which the designers called "weighty expressiveness". The exact same approach was applied earlier in the designs of the flagships of the Mitsubishi lineup - the famous and. However, the updated Mitsubishi Outlander cannot be called another light-incarnation of the legendary SUV. Mitsubishi Outlander 3 turned out to be stylish and interesting, and, which is especially pleasing, very individualistic - effectively standing out both in appearance and character from their "older" relatives and, of course, from the previous generation crossover -.
Mitsubishi Outlander 2012 review - body, exterior and interior
Mitsubishi Outlander body
Working on the third generation Mitsubishi Outlander body, Japanese engineers pursued two main goals - maximum safety and improving the aerodynamic characteristics of the car.
Caring for the safety of the driver and passengers has become a kind of fad for the designers of the last Mitsubishi cars produced after 2000. Sometimes it seems that after the deafening fiasco of the Lanser Fiore passenger car in 1998, when, according to the Euro NCAP tests, this car was declared "unfit for life", Japanese designers swore on their samurai drawing boards and slide rule to restore the lost face. And although the reputation of Mitsubishi cars in Europe has long been rehabilitated, they continue to improve their new creations from year to year, making them more and more safe.
The body structure of the new Outlander 3 is a key component of a comprehensive vehicle safety system. The developers of the "Outlander" of the third generation (English Outlander - Outlander) used in the construction of the car body already repeatedly tested scheme:
Rigid frame RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) made of high-strength steel;
Units with directional propagation of shock loads arising from frontal and side collisions;
Elements with pre-designed deformation geometry;
Additional stiffeners installed in the doors and on the sides of the body.
Crushable elements located in the most problematic areas.
However, in general, the design has turned out to be more perfect due to materials with increased characteristics of resistance to torsion (+ 37%), compression (+ 49%) and tear (+ 57%). In addition, high-strength materials have reduced the vehicle's weight by almost 100 kg. Largely due to this, the now 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander SUV received the highest rating from picky European test experts after passing the notorious series of Euro NCAP crash tests - 5 stars of safety for driver, adult passengers and child passengers.
The dimensions of the body of the 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander are not much different from those of the Outlander X El. This is primarily dictated by the fact that both cars are built on a common base, namely the Mitsubishi PG "bogie", which became the first global platform in the history of the Japanese company.
Mitsubishi dimensions Outlander iii
Length - 4665 mm;
Width - 1800 mm;
Height -1680 mm:
Wheelbase - 2670 mm;
Clearance - 215 mm.
Compared to the Outlander XL, new SUV became 25 mm longer and 40 mm more squat. The extension of the new Mitsubishi Outlander is a price on the altar of unification. De facto, the car is produced in two versions - in 5 and 7-seater versions. Seven-seater "Strangers" are not for sale in Russia. As it turned out, the demand for such cars in our area is negligible. However, this innovation has perfectly caught on in five-seater SUVs. The change in the geometry of the interior space of the 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander has a pleasant effect on the practicality of the car. Compared to the X-Elem, the trunk length of the triplet has increased by 335 mm. As a result, the useful volume of the cargo area of the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander has grown to a solid 870 liters. And taking into account the advanced transformation system rear seats(when the backrests are folded down, they create the effect of a flat floor), the cargo space easily increases in volume to 1741 liters. Thanks to this, if necessary, in the updated Outlander it is possible to transport luggage up to 1670 mm long without any problems. By the way, not only Russians were delighted with the practicality of the novelty. In the first six months alone, more than 35,000 new Mitsubishi Outlander 2012 SUVs were sold in the EU countries at a price of € 21,900, which is considered a very good indicator for cars of this class by international standards.
Correction of the body height of the new Mitsubishi Outlander 2012 is dictated by the need to improve the aerodynamics of the car. It goes without saying that for SUVs the dynamics of acceleration is not among the paramount characteristics. Nevertheless, drag performance directly affects fuel economy, which is a very important trump card for SUV cars in terms of competitiveness. As a result of the efforts of the development engineers, the drag coefficient Cx was reduced by 7% - from 0.36 to 0.33. As a result, the fuel appetite of the 3rd generation Mitsubishi Outlander is 10% less than that of the XL model.
Exterior
The exterior of the new 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander is a little deceiving. In general, this car visually appears to be larger than it actually is. And this certainly adds to his solidity. Behind the smooth outlines front bumper, as if from under a veil, the familiar predatory mouth of the Jet Fighter's radiator grille peeps through, similar in shape to the air intakes of combat fighters. Though this detail belongs to the arsenal of a different style, this, so to speak, a family detail fits perfectly into the general concept of "harmonic expressiveness" of Mount Fuji. The harmony of the 2013 Outlander SUV is provided by a combination of clear silhouette geometry and smooth shapes visible in the outlines of the fenders, as well as in the high upward perspective of the waist line and the successful drawing of the streamlined roof. And for the expressiveness of appearance they are responsible:
Powerful wheel arches;
Elegant blade stamping for doors and side panels;
Lavish chrome trim above the radiator area;
Accentuated, stylish Super Wide HID headlights with additional side segments.
Running a little ahead, it is worth noting that the headlights of the new Outlander 2013 are in price not only because of their expressive shape. The practical capabilities of Super Wide HID are more than one and a half times the maximum power rating of the previous generation crossover optics. In numbers, this is expressed as follows:
Luminous flux intensity SW HID -1350 Lm;
The track coverage angle is 160 °.
The design trick that provided the third generation of "Outlaws" with the opportunity to move into the category of SUVs is quite simple. The car designers simply changed the geometry of the front and rear overhangs. Although in fairness, it should be said that this is more the merit of cold mathematical calculation than the result of a flight of creative imagination. Thanks to this design trick, the angles of entry were improved, which, in fact, made it possible for the Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 to get a full registration in the off-road company. Separately, I am glad that this qualitative transition of the Mitsubishi Outlander III practically did not affect the price of the car.
And finally, the last significant change in the appearance of the Outlander "three" is the presence of a new tailgate. The former horizontal double-leaf boot lid has been replaced by a simpler single-leaf boot lid. But now new mitsubishi Outlander 2013 boasts the title of the first car in its class to be equipped with an electric tailgate (optional).
Interior
Once in the salon of the new Mitsubishi Outlander 2013, it becomes clear that the assurances of the Japanese about carefully studying all the wishes and claims of Russian buyers are not just a marketing nod to the strategic market. The main "punctures" noticed by our drivers in the previous model - tough cheap plastic panels, poor interior noise insulation, outdated climate control and lack of steering column adjustment for departure - were eliminated with purely Japanese diligence. In addition, a sufficient number of additional amenities appeared inside the new car, corresponding to the new status of Outlander - a light SUV, with a claim to a place in the premium segment of its class. But first things first.
If we talk about the claims of drivers and passengers, then the absolute leader in the number of complaints about the quality of the second generation car was the weak protection of the passenger compartment from external and engine noise. Therefore, when creating Mitsubishi Outlander 2012, the price of resolving this issue became identical to the price of the reputation of the entire brand as a whole. To get rid of external noise, the designers of the SUV used special sound-absorbing pads specially designed for cars intended for sale in the CIS countries. Obviously, Japanese engineers have already had a chance to get acquainted with the quality of our roads firsthand. They coped with this part of the problem quite well. As for motor noise, things are not as rosy as we would like. At low and medium revs (2000-3500 rpm) new sound insulation engine compartment works almost flawlessly. In this range, the background noise level was reduced by as much as 6 decibels. But it is worth adding gas and the new 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander becomes "vociferous" again. Obviously, the designers postponed the final decision of this issue until better, facelifting times.
Among other transformations of the third-generation Outlander's salon, we have identified 10 of the most striking positions:
1. A new lightweight steering wheel (-300 grams) with buttons for controlling a multimedia device and an on-board computer displayed on the side spokes.
2. Soft lacquered plastics of the optimized dashboard (now it is, as it were, turned towards the driver), plus expensive interior panels "a la carbon".
3. Color display of the on-board computer, located on the dashboard between the speedometer and tachometer, with a diagonal of 4.2 inches (0.2 inches more than the iPhone 5).
4. New Rockford Fosgate infotainment head unit (optional). The main advantages of multimedia:
Large touch screen with a resolution of 800 × 480 pixels;
The ability to update route maps from removable media (Flash-card in SD format);
Hands-free function for phone calls;
Play MP3 music files from a disk, flash drive (via the USB connector in the armrest) and from the memory of a smartphone via bluetooth;
Integrated high-quality sound speakers (9 pcs) and a subwoofer;
Changer for 6 CDs.
5. The choice of the transmission mode is carried out using the button located near the handle of the variator.
6. "Russification" of the salon. Now the explanatory inscriptions on the control buttons are duplicated in Russian.
7. Additional USB connector and socket for recharging electronic gadgets in the front armrest.
8. New front and rear seats. Driver's seat can be equipped with an electric drive (option). Rear seats now it is impossible to adjust back and forth, but the seat backs can now be folded "to the floor".
9. Convenient box-organizer under the boot floor (option) with compartments for storing the jack and pump.
10. KOS - keyless system, "smart" chip key and start the car with a button.
In addition, it should be noted the pleasant upholstery of the seats made of perforated leather (for high trim levels), a convenient climate control module, "smart" electric power steering and well-thought-out general ergonomics of the organization of the driver's seat of the "Outlander". In general, it should be recognized that the money spent on the 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander is the price to pay for the right to own this interesting, practical and comfortable car.
Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 - an overview of the technical part of the car
It should immediately be noted that the most detailed technical information about the Mitsubishi Outlander III SUV you can find in the specialized tables published on our website. And in this section we will tell you about the main engineering innovations that the creators of the new SUV generously filled their creation with.
Security systems
In addition to a reliable body for the passive safety of the driver and his fellow travelers in the new Mitsubishi Outlander, reliable seat belts, a special system for locking the rear doors from the inside (child lock), fastenings for the Isofix child seat and a set of air bags are responsible.
The three-point front seat belts are equipped with electric pretensioners and force limiters, which have proven themselves in a series of crash tests. The rear straps are equipped with induction coils. This system is included in all basic vehicle configurations.
The location of the airbags is calculated using a special computer program and verified during numerous tests. High-end vehicles are initially equipped with front and side airbags for the driver and front passenger, including a special airbag for the driver's knees, and curtain airbags for rear passengers. In more affordable versions, side curtains are available as an inexpensive option. In Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 the price of this useful "rescuer" is on average 7 660 rubles. If necessary, the right front air bag can be deactivated with a dedicated button.
The active safety systems of an SUV can rightfully be called a subject of separate pride for Japanese developers. These include:
ASC - Electronic Dynamic Stability Control. This system is responsible for coordinating the work of anti-lock, traction control and other systems that provide directional stability of the car during sharp maneuvers when driving on slippery road surfaces. Standardly installed on all four-wheel drive versions of the new Outlander. For all-wheel drive versions of Mitsubishi Outlander 2013, the installation price of the system varies within 15,000 rubles;
AWC is a unique all-wheel control system for optimal grip and stability when driving in various road conditions... This system provides the driver with the choice of the type of drive;
Brake Assist - Electronic system, which controls the level of optimal pressure of fluids in the brake line. In the event of emergency braking, if insufficient force is applied to the brake pedal from the driver's side, the BA controller independently increases the pressure in the brake system;
ABS + EBD - traditional anti-lock braking brake system, reinforced by a subsystem responsible for the distribution of braking forces. It is installed as a base on the front-wheel drive versions of the new Outlander;
HSA - Hill Start Assist monitors the vehicle's behavior while driving uphill. When going up a steep slope, this system ensures vehicle stability and prevents rolling backwards at low speeds. In the event of a slip, the HSA system automatically redistributes the torque in such a way as to restore the tire grip on the road surface;
Super Wide HID is a head light system with increased luminous flux and wider track illumination angle. According to experienced drivers Super Wide HID can quite successfully compete with adaptive head optics systems for business class cars. Optional Super Wide HID system can be added fog lights... For Mitsubishi Outlander 2013, the option price is 11,115 rubles.
Motor range
The range of engines of the new Mitsubishi Outlander SUV is represented by three gasoline naturally aspirated DONC engines (two camshafts) with the MIVEC system, which provides electronic control of the valve timing and, thereby, allows significant fuel savings.
4J11 is a two-liter four-cylinder engine with 145 hp. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 7.6 liters per 100 km. Acceleration 0-100km / h - 11.5 seconds;
4J12 - R4 engine with a displacement of 2.4 liters and 167 hp. In the combined cycle, it consumes an average of 7.8 liters of fuel per 100 km of run. Acceleration dynamics from zero to hundreds - 10.54 seconds;
6V31 is a top-end 230-horsepower 3.0-liter engine, available only for cars with Instyle 4WD 2013 and Ultimate trim levels. When operating in a combined cycle, the gasoline consumption is 8.9 l / 100 km. All SUV configurations except Instyle 2013 and Ultimate are powered by continuously variable CVT variator... The top version is also available with a 6-speed automatic transmission gear. With this modification of the new Mitsubishi Outlander 2013, the price of the car is 1 607 800 rubles.
In 2013, "His Excellency Outlander the Third" (this ironic nickname for the car was launched in the media with light hand Czech auto experts) has finally acquired the long-promised hybrid P-HEV engine, which can reduce fuel consumption to 2.4 liters per 100 kilometers. Unfortunately, this is a recuperative miracle, equipped with two electric motors (82 hp each) and a 2-liter gasoline engine(110 hp) in addition, most likely, will appear with us no earlier than 2014. The price of the new Mitsubishi Outlander in a hybrid version in the showrooms of European dealers starts at € 24,000.
Features of the complete system Mitsubishi drive Outlander third generation
When creating the new Outlander, Japanese designers completely abandoned the idea of a full monodrive, replacing it with a more elegant three-mode algorithm.
The 4WD Auto Eco position allows the rear axle to be automatically engaged to work only at the start and when driving on slippery surfaces. With a favorable traffic situation the car automatically switches to front-wheel drive mode.
When 4WD Auto mode is selected, the rear axle is constantly engaged, but if necessary, the electronic controller can redistribute the torque within a fairly wide range.
4WD Lock provides 50x50 traction between the front and rear axles.
Mitsubishi Outlander III is a five-seat or seven-seat mid-size crossover with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Since 2012, it has been assembled in Japan, Russia, the Netherlands, India, Thailand. The third generation outlander has become a real "design revelation": no one expected such a radical change in the image of the most popular crossover from Mitsubishi.
The car is assembled in Japan, the Netherlands, Thailand, India and Russia.
Beginning in 2001, Mitsubishi launched the Airtrek crossover, designed on the basis of the ASX concept car, for the domestic market, and after entering the international market, the designers gave it a new name - Outlander. The second generation of the model appeared in 2005 and was produced until 2012. The third generation car was shown at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It is noteworthy that sales of the new Outlander began in Russia earlier than in Europe.
Outlander III stands out for its simplicity in the traffic flow. New design energetic, firm, no frills, although it is clear that the Japanese are open to experimentation. The second generation model had a more aggressive appearance. New Outlander serious, but calm, good-natured.
At the 2012 Paris Motor Show, a hybrid version of the car was unveiled, dubbed the Outlander P-HEV. The model is equipped with a two-liter gasoline engine and lithium-ion batteries. Fuel consumption is 5.3 liters. for 100 km. The car is only sold in Japan, with European sales starting in mid-summer 2013.
Technical features
The third generation outlander, unlike its predecessor, is equipped with a third row of seats.
The car is available in three trim levels: ES (front-wheel drive with 16-inch steel discs), SE and GT with all-wheel drive and 18-inch wheels. Transmissions are available in various variations: automatic 6-speed gearbox, "mechanics" and. It all depends on the exported countries. The most powerful engine is a V6 with a volume of 3.0 liters. and a power of 230 hp. At the same time, the engine is quite economical. The declared fuel consumption is about 13 liters in city mode.
Interesting Facts
On the basis of the second generation Outlander XL, the French Peugeot 4007 and Citroen C-Crosser are assembled.
For the Russian and Ukrainian markets, only a continuously variable variator is provided in any of the configurations. Models with manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic will go on sale later this year.
According to Mitsubishi's management, the Outlander III is just a link in the upcoming evolution of the Outlander family. Following Outlander generation will appear in 2014. What kind of improvements are in question, the modest Japanese are silent.
In 2013, two cases of spontaneous combustion of P-HEV batteries were recorded. One fire happened at a factory and the other at a dealer. Battery supplier Mitsubishi is also developing batteries for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner superplane. The entire fleet of aircraft was withdrawn from flights due to problems with batteries. In connection with these events, Mitsubishi recommended that owners of hybrids drive only on gasoline traction, without charging the batteries until the problem is solved.
Advantages and Disadvantages Compared to Classmates
The third generation car has become more spacious than its predecessor.
The main advantage over direct competitors such as Honda cr-v and Toyota RAV4, which, by the way, have also recently undergone restyling, is a proprietary one that allows you to fill in the Outlander tank not only 95th, but also 92nd gasoline. We should also praise the all-wheel drive, which is activated by pressing the 4WD button. With good tires and huge ground clearance, sometimes you even forget about this button: The front-wheel drive copes well with light off-road conditions. Of the advantages, it is also worth noting good sound insulation and high-quality interior materials. The disadvantages of Outlander include, perhaps, only the high price and "poor" standard equipment.
Figures and awards
Outlander III, like its predecessor, sells well in Russia. Even the unusual design did not bother the buyers.
The car is very safe. According to the results of crash tests using the EuroNCAP method, Outlander earned five stars out of five.
The car is popular on secondary market and, as a result, is of interest to hijackers.

The advantages and disadvantages of the 2018-2019 Mitsubishi Outlander in a new body are revealed based on feedback from real owners. More detailed pros and cons of Mitsubishi Outlander 3 with mechanics, automatic transmission, CVT, front and all-wheel drive 4x4 can be found in the stories below:
Owner reviews
Operation: the sound of the engine is quieter, compared to dorestyling, but still noisy. The suspension has also become softer, there are no rolls, but there is a feeling that the stern is no, no, but now it will rearrange.
I didn't expect it, but the fit in the driver's seat changed, just a couple of lines on the pillow were added, but it became cramped (my height is 185 mm, weight - 105 kg), and the back became uncomfortable.
I was pleased with the feedback on the gas pedal, I pressed it a little and you are already driving fast, even the run-in mode does not bother.
Review of the new Mitsubishi Outlander 3.0 AWD AT 2017
Video review: problems with the variator
Well managed. Resilient yet comfortable suspension. Does not roll over in corners, like American cars, as well as Lexus and Toyota, which was difficult for me to drive.
Forecasting. This is also in terms of management. The engine, gearbox and suspension are very harmoniously balanced and behave like one organism, which makes it possible to calculate how the car will behave in a given situation.
Clever. The car itself accelerates and brakes, does not lose sight of the car in front, with the exception of serpentines. On cruise control, it detects the degree of turn and slows down, then picks up again.
Good build quality. The elements of the car are perfectly fitted, in comparison with the Ford, which has been driven recently.
Of the minuses, a thin layer of paint on the body, as well as scratching plastic in the cabin, which many people sin on. In addition, at negative temperatures, on a cold, on an uneven road, the steering wheel cover cracks. I think a drop of silicone.
Review about Mitsubishi Outlander 3.0 (236 hp) with automatic and all-wheel drive 2016
I own a car for 6 months. Good dynamics, good Shumka at maximum speed, consumption pleases: in the city 10-13, track 8.0 speed 120 km / h (AI-92).
So far, all options work fine. The car is very warm and warms up quickly. The design of the crossover, both outside and inside, is beautiful, pleasing to the eye. I live in the private sector, the roads have never been cleaned in winter, the cross-country ability is just a class.
But here, although there is heating windshield, and ice forms on the brushes in bad weather.

My impressions of the Mitsubishi Outlander 3: very quiet, almost silent at city speeds, you can speak in a whisper. Moderately soft suspension: 18 wheels on the 55th profile do their bit. Feels a rut on the track, but not critical. The steering wheel is not wadded, but not heavy - just right for parking. The turning radius is small for such dimensions, it is convenient to turn around in the yards.
The ergonomics of both the driver and passengers are excellent, the trunk is large. I especially like the box under the floor - all the small things fit into it and stopped rolling around the trunk. The electric drive of the trunk is a nice, but not necessary thing, for the winter my husband said to turn off the electric folding of the mirrors together with the electric drive so that the motors do not burn.
Yulia Moroz, review of Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4 (167 hp) automatic 2015
Where can I buy?
So far, of course, everything is still good: the car is soft, spacious interior, huge trunk, stable on the road. While I am delighted, even in spite of some of the shortcomings in the cabin. The headlights are cool, they regulate the light themselves.
But the audio system is terrible. If you turn on the volume at half, then the right passenger door already begins to rattle from the vibration of the speaker. Radio: memory for 12 radio stations is a disgrace. The phone worked on the speakerphone for exactly 2 weeks, and now, as soon as there is an incoming call, everything freezes for me: neither the speakerphone nor the phone works. You have to turn off bluetooth.
The appearance of the front panel, in my opinion, was spoiled: the emergency gang buttons and 2 more warning ones could have been hidden somewhere else.
The updated Mitsubishi Outlander features a unique design of the front body part, named Dynamic Shield. Its characteristic feature is the presence of side bumper protectors. Rigid body lines, spectacular head optics, LED elements in taillights, an abundance of chrome-plated parts in the front end, a massive radiator grille made the car's appearance very modern and emphatically dynamic.

All-wheel drive system
