Malaysian Motorsports celebrity Leona Chin due in Miri to launch Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0
MIRI: Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia ( MMM) will launch the Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 model in Miri with a meet-and-greet session with Malaysian Motorsports athlete Leona China at Permaisuri Imperial City Mall on Oct 22.
Fans can turn up at the centre court from 2pm to 4 pm for the session while the vehicle launch roadshow will be at the mall from Oct 20-22 and at agent outlets Auto Pacifica Sdn Bhd ( Miri) and JL Nippon Auto Sdn Bhd ( Miri) on Oct 28-29.
Leona, who has been involved in numerous car racing events worldwide, gained victory in the Clio Cup China Series as one of the two female drivers during the March 2016 race weekend in Zhuhai, China. Leona has also joined Mitsubishi Motors for many events.
Three lucky customers who testdrive the Mitsubishi Outlander during the roadshow or showroom event will stand a chance to win a brand new iPhone 8 while the first 200 customers who book and register the Mitsubishi Outlander are also entitled for RM300 worth of petrol vouchers.
The Mitsubishi Outlander is contract assembled by Tan Chong Motors Assemblies (TCMA) at its plant in Segambut, Kuala Lumpur, boasting of outstanding safety and space for the family. The move to locally assemble a new 2.0L variant makes the SUV even more affordable for Malaysians.
The Outlander was launched in Malaysia in April 2016 as a completely built up (CBU) import from Japan. The new locallyassembled Outlander 2.0L 4WD variant will be sold alongside The CBU 2.4L 4WD, which widens the SUV’s appeal.
The new Outlander 2.0L 4WD is powered by a proven 2.0-litre engine with 145 PS and 196 Nm of torque. The DOHC MIVEC engine is paired with INVECS-III CVT transmission.
Unlike on-demand 4WD systems in rival SUVs, the Multi- Select 4WD system in the Outlander has three selectable modes – 4WD Eco, 4WD Auto and 4WD Lock –to suit all conditions and terrain.
Safety is the Outlander’s strongest suit, befitting its role as a family vehicle. Together with 4WD, seven airbags, ABS and EBD, Brake Assist, Active Stability & Traction Control (ASTC), Hill Start Assist (HSA) and ISOFIX child seat mounts are standard. The SUV also boasts a strong Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution ( RISE) body construction.
Other helpful safety features include Rest Reminder, which reminds the driver to take a break when fatigue steps in.
The Outlander 2.0L also comes with a reverse camera with guide lines as standard.
The Outlander has a stylish and bold design, with Mitsubishi’s signature Dynamic Shield face and LED daytime running lights, and striking 18-inch alloy wheels.
A spacious seven- seater cabin with ample room for the entire family, it is best-in- class cargo volume of 1,608 litres with the second and third-row seats folded.
Standard equipment includes automatic headlamps and wipers, and keyless entry with push start button. A 7-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay functionality allows for seamless connection between Apple(iPhone/iPod) and car. The screen comes with Air Gesture Control for added convenience.
The Outlander 2.0L gets front parking sensors to complement the rear units. There’s also a digital video recorder (dashcam) and security/solar film for all windows.
With best-in- class safety features, premium and stylish design, and a family-pleasing combination of space and versatility, the locally-assembled Mitsubishi Outlander with improved value is now open for booking at all Mitsubishi showrooms nationwide.
