Mitsu Outlander

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM), the official distributor of Mitsubishi vehicles in Malaysia, made a cool statement today with the introduction of the Outlander Sports Edition. Limited to 120 units, the Outlander Sports Edition is based on the Outlander 2.0-litre and is created on a duo-tone sporty black roof with red metallic paint.

Aesthetically, the Outlander Sports Edition comes with a bold black front grille, glossy black alloy rims and an ‘OUTLANDER’ hood emblem. In the cabin, the Outlander Sports Edition is further accentuated with a dual DVD entertainment and a red accent carpet mat. Priced at RM142, 888.00, the Outlander Sports Edition comes with five years warranty/unlimited mileage. The Outlander 2.0-litre also recently won ‘Best Family Ride’ at the CarSifu Editor’s Choice Awards 2018.

More on the Outlander Sports Edition Premium…

The Outlander has a stylish and bold design, thanks to Mitsubishi’s signature Dynamic Shield face and LED daytime running lights, plus striking 18-inch alloy wheels that are standard. Within the stylish body is a spacious seven-seater cabin with ample room for the entire family. The Outlander boasts best-in-class cargo volume of 1,608 litres with the second and third-row seats folded. Standard equipment includes all-round monitor, premium leatherette seats, automatic headlamps and wipers, and keyless entry with push start button.

A 7-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay functionality allows for seamless connection between Apple (iPhone/iPod) and car. The screen comes with Air Gesture Control for added convenience. The Outlander 2.0L gets front parking sensors to complement the rear units. There’s also a digital video recorder (dashcam) and security/solar film for all windows.

4WD System and Performance…

The Outlander 2.0-litre 4WD is powered by a proven 2.0-litre engine with 145 PS and 196 Nm of torque. The DOHC MIVEC engine is paired with INVECS-III CVT transmission. With many years of winning experience in the grueling Dakar Rally under its belt, Mitsubishi is a specialist in rugged 4WD vehicles. By improving traction on slippery surfaces and stability, 4WD plays a role in active safety – it is especially valuable on SUVs with tall bodies and a high centre of gravity.

The Outlander comes with an intelligent 4WD system as standard across the range. Unlike on-demand 4WD systems in rival SUVs, the Multi-Select 4WD system in the Outlander has three selectable modes – 4WD Eco, 4WD Auto and 4WD Lock – to suit all conditions and terrain.

Safety Features…

Safety is the Outlander’s strongest suit, befitting its role as a family vehicle. Together with 4WD, seven SRS airbags, ABS with EBD, Brake Assist, Active Stability & Traction Control (ASTC), Hill Start Assist (HSA) and ISOFIX child seat mounts are standard. The SUV also boasts a strong Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body construction. Other helpful safety features include Rest Reminder, which reminds the driver to take a break when fatigue steps in.

From EVO’s to Outlanders, Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) recently acquired 15 units of Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4 contributed by PLUS Highway for the traffic laws enforcement on the highway. The handover ceremony of the new “Peronda Lebuhraya” cars was held at Persada PLUS, Subang Jaya. Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM), the official distributor of Mitsubishi vehicles in Malaysia was there to witness the handover ceremony.

These vehicles were contributed to PDRM to be used as Expressway Mobile Patrol Vehicle (EMPV).  The SUVs will be known as ‘Police Highway Eagle’ which will enhance the effectiveness in enforcing traffic laws during festive seasons, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun. Each of the 15 Outlanders has been upgraded with Mitsubishi EVO X engines featuring a special twin-turbo AWD system with anti-lag, which pushes output to 470bhp. That last line is a complete lie, I just wanted to see if you’re paying attention. They’re all stock-standard.

Being there to witness the handover ceremony, Chief Executive Officer of Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia, Tomoyuki Shinnishi (above, left) said “Safety is the Mitsubishi Outlander’s strongest suit, befitting its role as a family vehicle. But now, we are delighted to know that besides being one of the best safety specced vehicles on the road, the Outlander is meeting every requirement of PDRM to assist them with the enforcement of traffic laws on the highway.”

He elaborated, “With many years of winning experience in the grueling Dakar Rally under its belt, Mitsubishi is also a specialist in rugged 4WD vehicles. So with the Outlander’s safety function, power and stability, we are confident that the Outlander will do its part in assisting our policeman to eradicate traffic offences and eventually lower the risk of road accidents.”

In a separate ceremony, PDRM also acquired eight Mitsubishi cars consisting of Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4-litre (above) and Mitsubishi ASX Compact SUV contributed by ANIH Berhad. The contribution made by these two highway concessions were valued at an estimation of RM3 million.

The Mitsubishi Outlander recently received the Family SUVs of Malaysia award at the Cars of Malaysia awards 2018.

Hey folks! With great pride I’d like to introduce you to MotoMalaya.net! MM.net is a sister-site in Bahasa Malaysia to Piston.my, and while it has been around for some time now, Editor Sep Irran promises that there will be a lot more car-related news, features and reviews in the near future, while still bringing you the best that the world of 2-wheels has to offer. Think of MM as the BM variant of Piston.my and you’ll not be far-off the mark…

His first review under the new MM direction is this Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4, from Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia, which I also had a go at, but my review will come later. In the meantime, click on the box-link below to have a look at Sep’s take on it. Isn’t it ironic that the first car review from MM is a car from MMM? We’ll take it as a good sign. Hope you enjoy it! – Chris Wee.
