Three more models added to Mitsubishi Outlander range

Relaunched with a pair of models last year, Mitsubishi has increased the Outlander range by a further three for a total of five.

Aesthetically and mechanically unchanged, the trim grade structure now starts off with the GL as the range opener.

Resplendent with LED head and fog lamps, plus an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the GL’s other niceties comprise 18-inch alloy wheels, seven-inch TFT instrument cluster display, leather-wrapped steering wheel, front and rear parking sensors and reverse camera.

The GLS retains the 20-inch alloy wheels and 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster, tri-zone climate control, electric tailgate, rain-sense wipers, keyless start, the auto-dimming rearview mirror and auto on/off headlights.

The new GLS Plus retains the same features, only adding a 360-degree surround-view monitor not offered on the Aspire which previously topped the Outlander range.

Now relegated to semi-luxurious variant, the Aspire keeps an unchanged array of tech made up of the bigger nine-inch infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof, electric front seats with memory function for the driver’s chair, folding electric mirrors and integrated satellite navigation.

The range’s flagship, the Exceed, benefits from a wireless smartphone charger, memory function for the mirrors, an automatic sunshade below the sunroof and a 10-speaker Bose sound system.

Mitsubishi has kept the Nissan-made normally aspirated 2.5-litre petrol as is with outputs of 135kW/245Nm that goes to all four wheels via CVT.
