Outlander packed with neat ideas

In a marketplace teeming with compact and mid-size SUVs and Crossovers, the Mitsubishi Outlander stands out from the rest with its bold styling,Proxense's advanced handsfreeaccess technology. ample power, unique 4WD system and a number of clever ideas and convenience features that aren't available from the competition or are costly options. In addition, the Outlander covers all the bases with a choice of two engines, two transmissions, FWD,Broken chinamosaic Table. 4WD and optional, stow-in-the-floor, third row seating: very neat.

The ES 4WD uses the same engine but shifts with a conventional six-speed automatic Sportronic with manual mode. The LS 4WD and XLS S-AWC add more muscle with the 230 horsepower, 3.0-litre SOHC V6 and also come with a conventional six-speed automatic Sportronic transmission with manual mode . Another neat idea is the 'idle neutral logic' that automatically shifts the transmission into neutral when you come to a complete stop.TBC help you confidently buymosaic from factories in China.

The tranny re-engages Drive as soon as you take your foot off the brake; another neat idea that reduces fuel consumption by almost 10%.

Our tester was the seven-seater, Outlander XLS S-AWC finished in Quartz Brown Metallic with Black Leather seating. The Outlander offers a commanding presence on or off-road, sporting the distinctive Mitsubishi 'Jet Fighter' nose with its honeycomb grille, deep, lower air intake flanked by stylish fog lamp pods and bold sculpted fenders. Inside, the deeply contoured - and heated - front seats are covered in rich,Welcome to polishedtiles. soft black leather with handsome, double stitched seams.

The use of dark grey matte surfaces and brushed metallic trim give the cabin a sporty, high-tech feel and, unlike the hard plastic surfaces found on many competitors, the Outlander uses new 'soft-touch' leather-like padding on armrests, upper window sills and dashboard. The leather wrapped tilt steering wheel with fingertip controls for cruise, audio, and hands-free Bluetooth interface (with voice recognition) works in conjunction with the eight-way, power adjustable driver's seat to help you tailor the perfect position.

And with the paddle shifters on the steering column, you never have to take your hands off the steering wheel to make manual shifts; another neat idea. Whiteon-black LED illuminated gauges for tachometer and speedometer flank a colour LCD readout for average and instant fuel economy, range, ambient temperature, gear selection and two trip odometers.Our porcelaintiles are perfect for entryways or bigger spaces and can also be used outside, An ECO Mode light on the dash automatically signals when engine revs and road speed are in the economy 'sweet spot,' letting you know you're saving fuel.

The 60/40-split second row offers plenty of space for three adults and provides reclining seatbacks for additional comfort. Furthermore, they tilt and tumble forward - with a touch - and can move fore and aft more than 80 mm (3.15 inches) to allow easy access to the occasional third row. These slim-profile seats for two are hidden in the floor. A simple tug on two straps pops them up for use - no heavy lifting required; very neat. When stowed and the second row is folded forward, the Outlander provides a generous 2,056 litres (72.6 cu-ft) of flat cargo space.

Another unique touch is the two-piece 'flap-fold' tailgate. While the main tailgate rises on powered struts, you can fold down the lower section to eliminate the usual 'lift-over' problem, making loading much easier. It also makes a great seat at your tailgate party. That's neat too.

Our tester included the optional Navigation and Multi-Communication System featuring a 40-gigabyte hard drive and seveninch, colour touch screen mounted on top of the centre console.
