![]() Our VRX test car had black leather with white stitching, which looked great. There’s a few other small trim changes too. The interior of the Outlander is well laid out, with most things falling to hand nicely.Īn electric park brake (with auto hold) is now standard across the range, and there’s more side support in the front seats. There’s not too many changes on the inside either in this latest model, and that’s not a bad thing. What’s The Inside Like On A 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander VRX Diesel? You’d have to be a real Mitsubishi enthusiast to pick out the differences between the 20 model years – very small changes are made to the front and rear of the car, with no changes to the side. Speaking of the front, it’s a little too busy for me – too many angles and shapes, but overall the Outlander is a non-offensive design that’s a pleasure to see in the parking lot. The Outlander isn’t anything mind blowing design-wise, but it’s nicely proportioned and even has its own identity, if looking a little too similar to the Eclipse at the front. Our test car was finished in Amethyst Black, and looked classy. Hands up who doesn’t like black and chrome? Yeah, not many at all. First Impressions Of The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander VRX diesel You can read more about the Outlander range on Mitsubishi New Zealand’s website. There’s seven colours available for the Outlander range, Cardrona (white), Sterling Silver, Titanium, Amethyst Black, Rose Red, Iron Bark, and Atlantic Blue, which is a new colour. ![]() On top of the XLS specs, the VRX adds front parking sensors, Multi Around View camera system (360-degree camera), LED headlamps with auto levelling, LED fog lamps, chrome door handles and window belt line moulding, leather seating (first and second row), heated and electric front seats, headlamp washers, and an electric tailgate. This too is available with either the 2.4-litre petrol motor ($54,490) or diesel ($56,990). Last up is the top-spec VRX, which we tested. That’s a lot more kit for the money over the base LS models. The CTV in XLS petrol models comes with a Sport mode too, and you also gain paddle shifters, adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, front fog lamps, heated and electrically folding exterior mirrors, keyless start, automatic wipers, automatic high beams, automatic headlights, and an auto dimming interior mirror. All diesel Outlanders dump the CVT for a ‘real’ 6-speed automatic gearbox, with Sports mode. The diesel motor gives you 112kW of power and a good 366Nm of torque and fuel consumption is rated at 6.2l/100km. This represents what has to be the bargain of the year, for a solid seven-seat SUV. Note that in the 2WD LS range of Outlanders, there’s a special running (which has been going for a while now) for the 2.0-litre at $32,990, and the 2.4-litre for $33,990. This model is also available in AWD for $43,990. The 2.4 LS model has the same specs, but this engine puts out 126kW of power and 224Nm of torque, for $41,990, and uses fuel at 7.2l/100km. There’s also keyless entry, 2xUSB ports, rear parking sensors, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, and a 6-speaker audio system with Bluetooth. Feature-wise, it’s not too bad, with an alarm/engine immobiliser, ISO-FIX mountings on the second row of seats and 3 tether anchors. ![]() The engine in this model puts out 112kW of power and a reasonable 193Nm of torque, with a rated fuel consumption figure of 6.8l/100km. This comes with a CVT transmission and retails at $39,990. The base model is the 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol driven LS version. All Outlander petrol and diesel models are seven seaters. There’s three models to pick from in the Outlander petrol/diesel range, with the two larger motors having an AWD option. What’s In The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander VRX Diesel Range? ![]() Another article will be coming on how that worked out.Ĭan slight changes – and cosmetically, very light – help keep the Outlander fresh and in buyers’ minds? Especially with new models receiving so much attention, like the seven-seat only Santa Fe. In what turned out to be a ‘perfect storm’ scenario, but in a good way, we managed to score a base model LS with the 2.4-litre petrol engine for a drive from Wellington to Auckland and return, then switched that for the top-spec VRX diesel, then switched from that to the plug-in PHEV hybrid. A quiet achiever in the SUV segment, the Outlander seems to have a reasonable following – the fact that all models (except the PHEV hybrid) are seven seaters surely helps sales along – especially at the price points each model targets. Late 2018 sees the launch of the 2019-spec Mitsubishi Outlander. ![]()
