New Mitsubishi Outlander (2010) surfaces

The 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander has been launched in Australia

And now the revised Outlander – a slightly toned-down version of the GT Concept – has surfaced in Australia as the 2010 Outlander. Featuring the aforementioned Evo nose and a more Evo-like interior, the style is a move towards a family theme across the range by Mitubishi.

The 2010 Outlander will feature Mitsubishi’s Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) – at least on the V6 versions – which improves handling and traction. It uses a front limited-slip diff., giving better side to side and back to front slip control. Also in the mix is Hill Control and three settings on the suspension – Normal, Snow and Traction.

The 3.0 litre V6 from the Outlander XLS carries over, but with a few tweaks and an extra 10bhp. Also on offer is a 2.4 litre mated to either a five speed manual or a CVT. The V6 gets a six-speed auto with a sports setting.

The new Outlander is expected to arrive in the UK early in 2010. We have no prices yet, but we expect to see it start around £22k. There are full details in the 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander Press release. It’s the Oz version, but the UK version isn’t likely to be much different.
