While many are filled with the fact that many electrified models are sold, few have achieved the success achieved by the Mitsubishi Outlander. This is not just another SUV, but one of the best-selling plug-in hybrids in the world, with a market share that has reached more than 30%. A product with an excellent price-product ratio.

The beginnings of Outlander go back to the first years of the XNUMXst century. In 2001 Mitsubishi launches the first of its generations, first in Japan and later in the rest of the world, including Europe. The second edition is launched just six years later, in 2007. It includes important new features, but nothing compared to the latest generation, the fourth, announced in early 2021.

During the previous years the Mitsubishi Outlander has undergone various updates. Small renovations that have mainly affected aesthetics, equipment and quality, although they have also included important new features at a technical level. By sales volume, Spain is among the 10 countries where the most Outlanders have been soldEurope being the main market.

Technical characteristics of the Mitsubishi Outlander

Everything about this fourth edition of the Outlander is new, not just its sleek, svelte image. Under the new body the CMF platform is installed, inherited from the alliance signed with Nissan y Renault. That same architecture is what we can see in other products such as the Renault Kadjar and the new Nissan Qashqai. It is the first product of the house to use it.

By size, the Mitsubishi Outlander is the largest SUV in the house, above the Mitsubishi ASX and the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. The new platform has led to new measures, which externally lead us to the 4,72 meters long, 1,9 meters wide (without mirrors) and 1,75 meters high. These dimensions must be added to a wheelbase that shoots up to 2,7 metres. A wheelbase that allows it to offer a maximum capacity for five passengers.

The second row of seats offers adequate space, with the central seat being the most limited in size. As for loading capacity, the Mitsubishi Outlander offers variable trunk volume with a minimum of 495 litres and a maximum of 1.422 litres if the second row of seats is completely folded down.

Mechanical range and gearboxes of the Mitsubishi Outlander

The list of novelties of the new Mitsubishi Outlander does not end only in its image and in its interior. Even though it was already a plug-in hybrid model, the new generation employs a completely new set. Improvements in key areas such as performance, consumption and electric range. Like the first units, the most modern version of the Outlander is capable of obtaining the advantageous DGT ZERO label and the facilities that it entails.

The set consists of a 2,4-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that is linked to one, if not two, electric motors. The trio develops a maximum output of 306 horsepower. The electric part is powered by a lithium-ion battery with a gross capacity of 22,7 kWh. Thanks to this, it is capable of homologated a combined cycle consumption of 0,8 liters per 100 kilometers. Its electric autonomy is 86 kilometersAll management is derived to an automatic gearbox that distributes the force between the two axles.

Equipment of the Mitsubishi Outlander

It can be said that one of the most radical changes of the fourth generation of the Mitsubishi Outlander is found in the interior. From doors to the inside, it is shown as a well-presented model both in technology and in finishes and materials. The feeling of quality is high thanks to soft surfaces with a pleasant touch such as leather, only available in superior finishes.

When it comes to range, Mitsubishi Spain puts its largest SUV on sale with three trim lines: Motion, Kaiteki and Kaiteki+. The appearance of all of them is similar. Customisation is limited, as is customary for the brand. The differences are mainly centred on the finishes as well as the basic technological level offered for each unit.

As far as equipment is concerned, the new CMF platform allows the Outlander to be classified as the most technological model ever created by Mitsubishi. Some elements should be highlighted, such as: a digital instrument panel with a 12,3-inch screen, a Head-Up Display, a multimedia system with a screen of up to 9 inches, connectivity for mobile devices, connected services, a 360º camera and extensive security and safety equipment. driving assistants.

The Mitsubishi Outlander of Km 0 and second hand

It must be recognized that the Mitsubishi Outlander is one of the most popular products of the Japanese house in our country. Its market share has not been excellent until the appearance of the plug-in hybrid version, conquering almost 30% of sales in the D-SUV PHEV segment. Despite its popularity, depreciation is around 28%, a figure that places it in the category average.

If we take a look at the second-hand market, we see that prices start at 2.500 euros for first-generation models with almost 200 kilometers accumulated. The Km channel only shows a few tens of units available. Prices are attractive given the price-product ratio. Plug-in hybrid units are the most expensive, but also the most in demand.

Mitsubishi Outlander rivals

Little by little, the market has been adding units similar to the philosophy proposed by the Outlander. It must be recognized that it was a pioneer in its segment, although it no longer has that advantage since other manufacturers have seen the way forward. The rivals of the Outlander are found in the D-SUV segment, mainly with plug-in hybrid technology. In it we find similar units such as the Toyota Highlander, KIA Sorrento and Hyundai Santa Fe, all of them with an efficiency policy although to a greater or lesser extent. To them we can add other enemies such as the Peugeot 5008, SEAT Tarraco, Nissan X-Trail, Renault Koleos o Skoda Kodiaq.
