2014 Mitsubishi Outlander to debut in the U.S. at L.A. Auto Show

A Fuel efficient SUV coming our way with plenty of comfort, technology, and safety features? Mitsubishi you have my attention!

Last week we made the announcement via our Facebook page (which, pardon the cheap plug in, you can check out at : http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jerrys-Mitsubishi/108664672503204),  that Mitsubishi Motors had recently made an announcement regarding  plans to debut the new Outlander generation in the United States later this month, at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show.

After it was already launched in several markets across Europe and Asia, the new generation of the Mitsubishi Outlander, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander, is getting ready to make its debut in the United States too. Mitsubishi announced it would do so during the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 28th. According to Mitsubishi representatives, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander will be “among the most fuel-efficient compact CUV with seven-passenger seating as standard”.

For 2014 the Outlander will feature a fresh new design direction that emphasizes exterior aerodynamic efficiency, and will come with a brand new engine that will see itself equipped with a new version of the advanced MIVEC continuously-variable valve lift timing system, greatly helping to increase the vehicles’ fuel economy. The redesigned 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander will be one of the most fuel-efficient compact CUVs, yet it will still be able to accommodate 7-passenger seating as standard.

The Mitsubishi Outlander will also see some safety technology features added on for 2014, such as Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) or Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

However Mitsubishi is not done yet. Besides the new generation of the Mitsubishi Outlander, the carmaker is also planning to introduce a special edition of the model 2013, in order to commemorate the brand’s three-decade presence on the North American market.

The 2013 Outlander Sport Limited Edition is arguably the most dynamic-looking compact crossover vehicle available in the segment. It will come equipped with blackout side mirrors, center bumper, wheel arch trim and roof rails, dark-chrome alloy wheels and a special "Limited Edition" badging.

The 2013 Outlander Sport Limited Edition will also see quicker and smoother acceleration thanks to a new engine balancer shaft that gives the model an increase in performance while maintaining the vehicle's outstanding 31 mpg highway fuel rating. The 2013 Sport Limited edition package will also come equipped with a 6-way adjustable power driver seat, aluminum brake and accelerator pedals, leather parking brake lever and available special two-tone Dove Grey and Black leather seating surfaces.

Mitsubishi also mentioned plans to announce other important company developments during their presentation at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show.
