Smart Choice
With its up-to-the-minute looks, keen performance and family friendly versatility the ZG Outlander will be a smart consideration for anyone looking for a new generation, compact soft-roader. Sharp pricing and Mitsubishi's five-year warranty could make it an attractive choice as well.
Diesel derivative
While not available here yet, the new Outlander does have a diesel engine option in Europe. The engine is a 1,968cc, turbocharged, intercooled, DOHC, 16-valve, EU-4 compliant powerplant fitted under license from Volkswagen AG and mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.
MMAL staff told Overlander they would love to be able to offer the 103kW/310Nm DiD Outlander in Australia but the licensing deal with VW is for Europe only and until that can be changed we will have to make do with petrol only. They didn't totally write-off the idea of bringing it to Australia but if a deal can be worked out with VW it wouldn't be here until 2008.
It should also be considered that with its platform sharing ties with PSA (see Hotline) Mitsubishi should be able to source the more powerful 2.2HDi diesel engine from the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group that slots straight into the Outlander platform.
