Mitsubishi Outlander SUV – Mitsubishi’s Medium SUV

The popular Mitsubishi Outlander SUV has been around in its current guise for a long time however it remains the fifth best-selling medium-sized SUV and ticks most of the boxes – five front-drive and five all-wheel-drive models all gained more specification last September but also grew in price – I tested the top-spec 2.4-litre all-wheel-drive automatic Exceed seven-seater. But for most families, the front-wheel-drive models will satisfy, especially if they’re used mainly around town. I think many families today buy four-wheel-drive variants when most of their motoring is on the sealed roads – four-wheel-drive adds weight, adds to fuel consumption and the extra weight put more stress on the drive-line and increases brake wear. The latest ES entry grade automatic Outlanders now gain autonomous emergency braking however the manual variant doesn’t – other upgrades dusk-sensing headlights and rain-sensing wipers. 

A new 8-inch colour touch screen is a big improvement while air-conditioning controls get a make-over, power adjustment for lumbar support has been added to the driver’s seat, the second-row bench seat has been re-designed with better cushioning and there’s another USB port fitted in the rear. All Outlanders from Group 1 Mitsubishi feature a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, and dual-zone air-conditioning with rear air-ducts under the front seats. There’s not much to criticise – best as a five-seater rather cramped in the rear row as a seven-seater, mainly for children.

Mitsubishi ASX Sport edition adds colour and tech

Image
Mitsubishi has taken some of that orange and black flavouring that it applied to the Triton ‘Athlete’ special edition and applied it to a new range-topping  Mitsubishi ASX edition called the Sport. The ASX Sport is based on the GLX model and sells for the same base price, but according to Mitsubishi it adds R30 000 worth of extras. Most notably, it adds an upgraded infotainment system that is now compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As before, the factory-fitted 17.8cm touchscreen infotainment system also features satellite navigation and Bluetooth. On the outside, the Sport has been dressed up with a number of styling accessories, including a Sport decal set that consists of various black and orange strips as well as carbon fibre inserts. The special edition can be ordered with either white or grey exterior paint, and in both cases, it rolls on a set of gloss black alloy wheels. As with the GLX it’s based on, the Sport features a lengthy list of standard feature...
