The next-generation Mitsubishi Outlander has been spotted running road tests, eight years since the debut of the current-generation model in 2012. Here, the forthcoming SUV appears to wear a front end that is derivative of that on the Engelberg Tourer concept (which has since been renamed the e-Yi), itself a version of the Dynamic Shield face, from the Triton pick-up truck and Xpander MPV to the eK kei car.
This, therefore uses the slim LED lights atop larger units at each corner of the front end, while beneath the camouflage foil is likely to also be X-shaped grille. Viewed in profile, the character line starts from below the side mirrors, runs through the door handles as it carries on rearwards, much like on the Xpander. The tail lamps bridge the bodywork and the tailgate, offering the closest visual link with the current-generation model.
The Outlander could also be underpinned by the same Common Module Family (CMF) platform that forms the basis of the next-generation Nissan X-Trail and Qashqai, which could also make the forthcoming model larger than the current SUV, our spy photographer sources say.
Internal combustion engines will still feature in the forthcoming model, though the top variant of the Outlander will likely be a plug-in hybrid model that offers an EV range of 50 km to 70 km. The electrified version could likely continue to use the 2.4 litre Atkinson-cycle engine with an electric motor on each axle, while in terms of internal combustion options, a turbocharged 1.5 litre four-cylinder petrol could also be offered.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Better buy this 7 seater than some China junk. With discounts, the prices are nearly the same as the Proton X70.
Proton X70 is shocking. Supposed to be a Malaysian car for Malaysians but in China they sell RM60k and in Malaysia RM123k
Where got meaning?
But sales figures means everything, and going by X70 sales figures more people have confident in a Proton than with a Mitsubishi even when they have similar pricing. Go go go Proton!
Better buy this car than unreliable dual clutch of the Proton X70

This gameover car still alive? No matter. The current generation was gameover by X70 sales and this next generation will be gameover by X50 sales. They should have invested that R&D money into making small cars so they can complement Proton to gameover Perodua once and for all.
