2014 Mitsubishi Outlander, 2013 Outlander Sport Limited Edition Debut – 2012 L.A

To make the 2014 Outlander the most efficient three-row crossover around, Mitsubishi focused on improved aerodynamics, weight reduction, as well as better HVAC and drivetrain performance. Mitsubishi says the 2014 Outlander’s new sheetmetal and streamlined front fascia contribute to a 7 percent increase in aerodynamic efficiency while weight has been reduced by about 200 pounds. A revised interior heating and cooling system minimizes energy use.
The revised 166-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is mated to a CVT with “improved shift feel” as well as Acceleration Control for better initial throttle response and the ability to hold gears longer. We weren’t too thrilled with the CVT in our now-gone Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, so we’re looking forward to finding out just how much of a difference these transmission changes make. Top-of-the-line Outlander GT models are powered by 224-hp 3.0-liter V-6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic with a revised torque converter performance and a new final drive ratio to improve fuel mileage. Keeping the focus on efficiency, the available all-wheel-drive system is lighter than the one on the last-generation crossover. Later on, Mitsubishi will offer a plug-in hybrid version of the Outlander.
An ECO mode reduces fuel consumption by reducing engine power on initial acceleration as well as the AC system’s airflow. For all-wheel-drive models, ECO mode also reverts back to front-drive mode unless the system senses wheel slip.
Mitsubishi Outlander ES base models include third-row seating, which the automaker says has been redesigned to be more comfortable and easier to operate. Mitsubishi Outlander SE models include a six-inch touch screen with back-up camera, HD radio, 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, passive entry with push-button start and the voice command of smartphones and iPods connected via a USB port. The V-6 engine and all-wheel drive are standard on GT models, which feature faux wood interior trim, HID headlights and satellite radio. Available fearures include panoramic roof, 710-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system, leather seats, adaptive cruise control, forward collision management, and lane departure warning.
The five-passenger 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Limited Edition shown alongside the 2014 Outlander celebrates 30 years of the automaker’s North American sales. Limited Edition models receive black side mirrors, center bumper, fender flares, and roof rails; alloy wheels feature an argent finish. Inside, leather seating with a two-tone Dove Grey and Black color scheme is available. Of course, Limited Edition badging adorns the compact crossover. The Outlander Sport is built in Normal, Illinois.
