Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) has released a sole teaser photo of the upcoming 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander on its Facebook page, ahead of the car’s official launch sometime early next year.
Though we already know what the actual car looks like, the dark, moody image is still a nice way to showcase the facelifted SUV’s distinctive “Dynamic Shield” front end with twin chrome bars flanked by LED headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights. It’s also an indication that the car’s launch could be just around the corner.
It was recently confirmed that the Outlander will finally make its way to our shores, but not in the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) form that we were expecting. Instead, our version will come with a MIVEC petrol engine of unspecified capacity, although it’s more likely to be the 166 hp/219 Nm 2.4 litre four-pot (paired to a newly-developed CVT) rather than the 224 hp/291 Nm 3.0 litre V6 available in other markets.
On top of that, MMM has also revealed some of the kit its version of the coming SUV will be fitted with. The Malaysian-market Outlander will feature seven airbags, Active Stability Control (ASC), an electric tailgate, a sunroof, 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and more.
