IT'S SPRING and the all-new 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander has arrived. Featuring a energetic design, the 2007 Outlander joins an invigorated line-up of Mitsubishi vehicles designed to exude the 'thrill' of driving, including the recently launched all-new 2007 Eclipse Spyder convertible and the new 2007 Galant Ralliart sports sedan. The all-new 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander is said to be on the leading edge of versatility, technology, and value in the crossover SUV segment. The SUV features 30L V6 MIVEC engine and a standard six-speed Sportronic (R) automatic transmission with one-touch manual shifting and adaptive electronics.
The Outlander XLS adds rally inspired sportronic steering wheel paddle shifters for shifting control at the driver's fingertips. All Wheel Control (AWC), an advanced version of all-wheel drive, is available. An innovative two-piece flap-fold rear tailgate makes cargo loading easy, and an in-floor stowable third-row seat adds to the XLS model's versatility.
TECHIE FEATURES
Look out for the techie features. The new Outlander includes a standard Bluetooth (R) hands-free cellular phone interface, advanced FAST-Key access system, and optional 650-watt Rockford Fosgate(R) audio system and DVD entertainment. A new hard-drive navigation system option will be state of the art.
Among the models which also debuted last week was the 2006 Eclipse sports coupe - a serious thrill ride featuring exotic styling. Completely redesigned from the ground up for 2006, practically the only item this fourth-generation Eclipse is said to have with its predecessor is its name.
Also on show in New York was the Mitsubishi Concept X
which features an exterior that carries over the full flavour of the Lancer Evolution's image.
The Concept-X mates a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder DOHC MIVEC intercooler-turbocharged engine to a high-performance six-speed auto-manual transmission and introduces the Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) vehicle dynamics control system. An on-board multi-media system complements the interior design, featuring a high-definition LCD monitor displaying real-time vehicle and S-AWC operating status, navigation system maps and DVD audio controls.
