Mitsubishi reveals the 2022 Outlander

As part of a collaboration with Amazon, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) has revealed the new 2022 Outlander crossover SUV via livestream, the first vehicle to ever debut on Amazon Live. All new from the wheels up, the 2022 Outlander features a new design direction for both this vehicle and the brand, plus the premium quality, rugged performance and innovative technology expected of a Mitsubishi vehicle.

The flagship of the Mitsubishi Motors line, the 2022 Outlander has been reimagined and reinvented in every way, and is the best-equipped, most thoughtfully engineered vehicle the company has ever developed. The Outlander was first launched in in 2002, and this new model is the fourth generation to be sold.

"Based on the product concept 'I-Fu-Do-Do,' which means authentic and majestic in Japanese, the new Outlander has been crafted into a reliable SUV with significantly upgraded styling, road performance, and a high-quality feel to satisfy the needs of customers who want to expand their horizons and take on challenges of every kind," said Takao Kato, Chief Executive Officer of MMC.

The styling of the 2022 Outlander debuts Mitsubishi's next generation Dynamic Shield front face and design language, with muscular fenders, bold proportions and 20-inch wheels.

Inside, the Outlander is a quiet and serene space, showcasing quality and convenience through class-above materials, seating for seven in the segment's only standard-equipment third-row, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 9.0-inch centre screen, and also newly available wireless smartphone charging capability and Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity.

The Outlander's engineering underpinnings are also new. Partnered with a newly developed platform and a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine, Mitsubishi's rally-derived Super All-Wheel Control system provides unmatched confidence for drivers in all environments.

The newly developed drive mode selector allows performance and grip to be tailored to the conditions through six distinct settings, increasing on and off-road performance. Even two-wheel drive models are fitted with the drive-mode selector, offering five distinct modes in this setup, to help drivers feel more confident in all driving conditions.

Standard equipment on the 2022 Outlander includes 11 airbags, three rows of seats, multiple storage locations, USB-A and USB-C charge ports and 18-inch wheels. Optionally, the 2022 Outlander can be fitted with 20-inch wheels, Mitsubishi's MI-PILOT Assist driver assistance system with adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist, semi-aniline leather seating, integrated navigation, a head-up display and a 10-speaker audio system.
