A quick SUV it isn’t, but the new Mitsubishi Outlander proves it’s still the favourite when it comes to choosing an affordable seven-seater.
The Mitsubishi Outlander is a car which needs no introduction to families in Singapore seeking a large, relatively affordable seven-seater.
At $109,999 after dealer discounts, it’s one of the more affordable large SUVs around if you absolutely need the seating and carrying capacity but have already spent the money redecorating your BTO flat.
If you had $30k less to spend, you could get the Grab driver favourite Toyota Sienta, but its 1.5-litre, 105hp engine needs some goading, and Renault’s handsome Grand Scenic is still $6k dearer even after subsidies.
For the 2019 model year, the Outlander has gotten a second Botox injection, with good results.
Up front, a new twin blade grille with honeycomb plastic insets top and bottom now forms Mitsubishi’s new “Dynamic Shield” design, which sits between two DRL-equipped headlights and atop a redesigned lower front fascia.
New 18-inch alloys spruce up the car’s side profile and overall, the design tweaks mean the Outlander’s countenance has now matured to become more handsome, striking and coherent, even if the chrome surrounding the front bumper is a bit much.
