mentioned joint 7 SUV, estimated that many riders first surfaced in my mind is the Toyota Highlander, mass transit and other expensive models, but the Colombian border when the joint venture 7 SUV sales list 19 years of watching, they found came in second, is actually unknown Mitsubishi Outlander. With its annual sales data 84960, and beat passers-Ang, biting Highlander.
Although on both in terms of price, or location, Mitsubishi Outlander is not that the two cars at the same level opponents, but it is just from the sales data, it is actually We have received no small victory.
perhaps in order to make this victory can be sustained, and thus shore up the entire brand. So Recently, to Mitsubishi Outlander was the replacement. A whole new generation Mitsubishi Outlander exactly what change? After updating can become hot style? The following Jiang brother to come and chat by three points.

changes a: tough atmosphere not changed, but the design is more aggressive
appearance, the new generation of the Mitsubishi Outlander is still the main hardcore style, but in the details, it has changed dramatically. Before one-piece headlights became popular split, the top is long and narrow LED daytime running lights, rectangular lights underneath is the Founder Group, looked full of personality.

Meanwhile, the front face of the car grille also reduced a lot, looking as if not as the atmosphere, but if it is applied on a real vehicle concept car Mitsubishi Engelberg Tourer big + small grille trim combination, I believe that it will not reduce the degree of arrogance anti-growth.

the rear portion of the car Founder some more regular shape, rear spoiler, tailgate, tail groups, and license plate frame roundProfiles are based on straight lines dominated, looking at a lot of coordination, taillights similar to inverted trapezoidal profile. After an additional car is also surrounded by thickened to do processing, with the bottom or under the shield and hidden exhaust pipes.

changes II: Apply Nissan CMF platform, compact shape change
as the new Outlander replacement just to catch up with Nissan – Renault – Mitsubishi alliance into a combination of the three, so a new car or will be directly applied to the Nissan – Renault platform developed by CMF. This change is reflected in the appearance of a new generation Outlander compact body design has become more competent, two rear windows of the vehicle body has a slightly reduced.

Before oulande, each section Nissan after the car (Qashqai, X-Trail, Sylphy, etc.) using the CMF platform for the first time, body size has been been extended treatment. Today, the new Outlander is the first time to spend this new platform, so it should also have the body size changes, but taking into account that the Outlander car length 4705mm has been better than the X-Trail, so a new car might be larger in wheelbase and down Kung Fu (cash wheelbase: 2670mm), then that third row space should be improved.
three changes: 2.4L mixed solid hammer plug, 1.5T engine doubtful
In power, the new generation has the same oulande changes, the precise current the message is a new generation of hybrid insertion system will spend oulande consisting of 2.4L naturally aspirated engine + electric motor. According to sales data show that 19 years, the Outlander PHEV sales in Europe, the whole territory of 3.5 million units, is one of Europe’s best-selling PHEV, the reliability of the power system is basically not to worry.
As for that country to play in the main sales of 2.0L engine, it is very likely to be replaced out 1.5T engine. But what is the Nissan that Taiwan is developing technology black – variable pressureThe three-cylinder 1.5T engine compression ratio, there are still 170 of 1.5T four-cylinder engine with a maximum horsepower that Mitsubishi Wilson songs, are yet to messages.
but on Xinjiang brother personally, hope that Taiwan 1.5T Outlander with Wilson on the song, though its data is no advantage in its class, but wins reliable, after a 4-cylinder engine, the reliability of the other models are validated.
As for the interior of a new car, not out of the current picture, but it should not continue to follow the cash that often Tucao old-fashioned design, if the use of Mitsubishi Engelberg Tourer concept car the atmosphere on the set of simple interior, I believe will win the goodwill of many consumers.

Although in the past 19 years, Guangzhou Automobile Mitsubishi sold 136,200 in December when it did even a 3.5 percentage increase results. But the success of the new generation Outlander, but still very important to Mitsubishi, because the car that 136,200 of them, there are nearly 85,000 Outlander, accounting for nearly 62.4 percentage. To put it nicely Outlander is the mainstay of that ugly point is the entire Mitsubishi only “fig leaf.”
Therefore, a new generation Mitsubishi Outlander appear, not only affects the joint ownership of seven SUV sales crown throne, Mitsubishi has also affects the living conditions in the country. Hard to imagine, once Outlander replacement fails, Mitsubishi who could withstand its place? Conversely, too, Outlander and can withstand the pressure and continue to hold up the entire facade of the Mitsubishi brand in China?
