2022 Mitsubishi Outlander

A smart choice for Sunshine Coast families, commuters and active households wanting a spacious SUV with flexible seating, comfortable petrol performance and plenty of technology for everyday life.

The Outlander LS is powered by a 2.5L four-cylinder direct-injection petrol engine producing 135kW and 245Nm. Matched to a smooth CVT with eight simulated ratios, it delivers easy, predictable performance for school runs, shopping trips and relaxed highway cruising around the Sunshine Coast.

For a spacious seven-seat SUV, the front-wheel-drive Outlander keeps fuel consumption nicely under control with a combined figure as low as 7.7L/100km. A 55L fuel tank and compatibility with regular unleaded make it a practical option for regular journeys between Caloundra, Maroochydore, Nambour and Noosa.

Bring the whole family with seating for seven and approximately 163L of luggage room behind the third row. Fold those rear seats away and capacity expands to around 478L, while dropping the second row opens up as much as approximately 1,473L for larger loads, camping equipment and holiday gear.

A 9-inch touchscreen brings wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, DAB+ digital radio and Bluetooth connectivity into the cabin. Dual-zone climate control with second-row air vents helps keep everyone comfortable, while keyless entry and start, wireless phone charging, privacy glass, roof rails and 18-inch alloy wheels give the LS a nicely equipped feel.

The Outlander brings plenty of driver-assistance technology including Autonomous Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Departure Warning with lane assistance, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Reverse Automatic Emergency Braking and Traffic Sign Recognition. Eight airbags, front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera add further reassurance, while 1,600kg braked towing capacity gives families useful flexibility for a trailer or lightweight camper.
