2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Review

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander has long been important in the SUV segment, represented by the third generation Mitsubishi Outlander improved greatly. Visually, the new Outlander now looks elegant, the front end has given way to grim new Mitsubishi design, and also in the interior of the new Outlander now has much higher quality and can accommodate up to seven people.

With 150 horsepower diesel in the top equipment line Instyle elected. Also on board, among other ABS, ESP, seven airbags, four-wheel drive, 18 "alloy wheels, keyless entry and start system, a power liftgate, a 2-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, leather seats with heated front seats, xenon lights" Wide are vision " ,. a parking aid rear including rear-view camera, a navigation system, a Rockford-Fosgate sound system with 710 watts and 9 speakers, rain and light sensor, and much more

With your first look at the interior, you realize that the new Outlander is running much higher quality than its predecessor. The modern design of the instrument, the tidy center console and a good choice of material featuring the Outlander. There are also many practical files, simplifying everyday motorists life.

All functions are easy to use and you can find your way from the start. We also find an ideal seating position very quickly, only the gear knob is a bit too far back attached - at least for people with longer arms.

Due to the high development of the Outlander offers itself in the rear enough head and knee room, only the third row is suitable only for children or very small adults and articulated. The seats of the third Series are easy to fold up and disappear again with a single action just in the trunk floor. Who takes advantage of all seven seats, still has a luggage capacity of 128 liters available with five seats to get to 477 liters, and who is only two way you can look forward when needed on a volume of 1,022 liters.

Very eccentric and the leather seats are comfortable, which can be a self-longer trips complete without back pain. The interior of the new Outlander can thus already be described as a great success, there remains the question to clarify how it looks with the performance and efficiency of the 465.5 cm-long SUV.

Under the hood, the proven 2.2-liter diesel engine with an output of 150 hp werkt (110 kW). Its maximum torque of 380 Nm delivers the powerful diesel from 1750 to 2500 rev / min. To start the diesel engine works quite grumpy, but gives equal the enormous thrust, which helps the Outlander to crisp performance. The sprint from 0 to 100 km / h around 1.6 ton SUV completed in 9.7 seconds, top speed is 200 km / h Despite 27 hp less power than its predecessor, the new Outlander is thus equal to 0.1 seconds and accelerates even faster.

The manual 6-speed gearbox is very harmoniously balanced and designed for maximum efficiency. By Eco button on the dashboard, the Outlander is ever the ideal saving champions. If you press the Eco button, you must lodge with the power delivery but found no difference, but then it rides for a car of this class very sparingly. Although we did not come to the factory promised 5.4 liters per 100 kilometers, with an average consumption of 6.3 liters, the Outlander can still be described as very poor.

Especially, as you will need not have to compromise on driving pleasure. The Outlander has a lot of power in every situation, even when accelerating after a construction site at the end of the highway does not have to turn back, to regain the allowable highway speeds.

The engine performs and his work Wore very quiet, only the road noise at high speeds are a little louder. Here you realize that the Outlander, especially for the U.S. market was tailored, because up to 110 km / h, it is completely silent, only then will the rolling noise louder.

The very comfortable design of the chassis and suspension is also attributable to the U.S. Generally back, but perfectly fits the Outlander. Thanks to the automatic all-wheel drive the big SUV is in fact still very good on the road and also enables high cornering speeds, without the passengers are scared should have known that the car flips.

All-wheel drive is standard in Eco mode, where only two wheels are driven and then if necessary the additional wheels are switched in order optimum grip added. By pressing a button you can also switch to permanent all-wheel drive or even permanent drive with increased power flow to the rear axle.

So the Outlander then also makes off-road looks good and it brings its occupants safely to the most remote ski lodge. The very light, but very direct steering also fits very well with the consistent overall picture of the Outlanders.

With the third-generation Mitsubishi Outlander returned back to the old virtues and offers a very sophisticated and high-quality SUV. The top equipment and good space to make the Outlander an ideal family car and long distance vehicle. Very well done is the 2.2 liter diesel engine, which offers a lot of power in combination with a low consumption.

The Outlander plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) is based on the new-generation Outlander, which is sold from autumn 2012. The plug-in hybrid drive has been involved from the outset in the development platform of the new Mitsubishi Outlander.

Three engines
The Mitsubishi Outlander is the first PHEV plug-in hybrid production car with permanent four-wheel drive. The system consists of an electric motor at the front and rear axle and a gasoline engine. The latter produces electrical energy via a generator, but temporary help directly with the drive. The concept provides for three modes. In EV mode, the SUV has a four-wheel drive by two electric motors. In serial mode, the propulsion arises same way, but here also operates the internal combustion engine as a supplier of electrical energy. In parallel mode, finally, there is also an electric four-wheel drive on the two electric motors, which is headed but the engine at higher speeds boost.

50 kilometers electrically clean?
The scope Mitsubishi says that the plug-in system allows more than 800 kilometers. For the pure electric range and the nature of the batteries is silent you off. Shown at the Geneva Motor Show study was to create 50 km in pure electric mode. In CO2 emissions, the Japanese seek out a target of less than 50 grams per kilometer. It should be noted that consumption depends greatly on the type of use - after all, is burned with all-electric driving at all out of gas.

2012 Mitsubishi I-MiEV

For the 2012 model year Mitsubishi has upgraded its electric compact car i-MiEV and reduced the price. Our test shows how everyday use of the i-MiEV.

With the Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric car was one of the pioneers of today and earlier in the trade as other manufacturers. The 347 cm long compact car designed it from scratch as an electric car, which has the advantage that the batteries are housed under the floor, so the trunk does not require sacrificing.

For the 2012 model year Mitsubishi's i-MiEV has been upgraded with modern materials and strong, and seat covers provided in the interior. But even if the equipment has changed a lot.

Thus, heated front seats, a stereo radio with CD player and USB port, ABS, ASC, TC, 6 airbags, a radio remote control to preset the air conditioner, the heater and defroster function via timer, and a display of battery SOC production equipment.

In addition, the 2012 model over a virtual warning that will warn up to a speed of 35 km / h pedestrians and cyclists at the approach of otherwise silent car.

It's funny that you would like to limit it to one side, the noise from cars by any means, is a car but then again without any noise on the road, it is compelled by law to be loud again.

After all these bare numbers we are interested in how to get an electric car from Mitsubishi through the day. The interior is very nice and already has four people. While offered in height on all four seats lots of headroom, it is for the feet on all four seats relatively close. Here apparently the Japanese was taken as a guide, are large Grown in the small cramped little i-MiEV on the road.

This is the boot volume of 235 liters of the small car class failed sufficiently large and can be extended if necessary by folding down the rear seats up to 860 liters.

To the great surprise is the operator of the i-MiEV simple and absolutely without any electric-specific peculiarity. The speed is displayed digitally, and instead of a tachometer you have an Eco-indicator, which informs about the current flow of energy. A fuel gauge and a complete range indicated by the simple and clearly laid-out speedometer.


After turning the ignition key you will hear a beep tone that signals in combination with a green light signal a willingness to pull out that you can. The selector lever has two or more options for the driver. In addition to "P" for parking, "R" for return, "N" for neutral and "D" for Drive are still additional positions "B" for brake and "C" for Comfort for election.

In "D" is the i-MiEV is in normal driving mode and provides the full power available. When approaching a traffic light or at high speed on the road a roundabout, one does well to place the selector lever to position "B", since the system directly through the braking, the energy generated in the battery and the range of Sun can be increased. The "C" mode is designed for pleasure cruises on motorways and country roads, where you can roll with less power and therefore less demand for electricity there.

The advantage of electric cars is that the maximum torque - in the case of the mitsubishi i-MiEV is the 180 Nm - right at the start is available. One comes with an enormous amount of power from the same spot, and up to 50 km / h there is little in the Mitsubishi forward really fast.

If you want to speed up then keep it afloat, you realize that the 66 hp (49 kW) electric motor has been some trouble with some 1.1 ton compact car.

The ride is fun for the mitsubishi i-MiEV written large: with a very low center of gravity of the little Mitsubishi is very good on the road. The steering is somewhat vague, but the road situation perfectly, even in brisk cornering.

Up to 130 km / h you may be traveling with the i-MiEV, the solid pressure on the accelerator (should actually more power pedal used in this case) does of course also reach, how to quickly read in the space provided for display.

According to the work of i-MiEV coming up to 150 km / h over a distance before the energy runs out of 16 kWh battery strong. In practice, this range can cope well only at very leisurely trip, with warm temperatures and without radio and air conditioning. In practice, we have a full battery, use the air conditioner and the enjoyment of the radio on a route with highways, country roads and city share had around 80 miles away.

Then the 2012 mitsubishi i-MiEV has again for up to 8 hours to the outlet so that the battery is fully charged. With the "Quick Charger" can lead to a correspondingly high 80% of energy after 30 minutes.

If you do not return long distance sets and can do without spontaneity, is the Mitsubishi i-MiEV but an absolutely suitable for everyday use with a great road-holding and good facilities. In addition, it is absolutely easy to operate and any necessary conversion from one powered with gasoline or diesel engine car. Most beautiful is that you have absolutely no vibration and is extremely quiet road.
