Its tough, bold, sporty exterior leaves no doubt about its dynamic
abilities. The Outlander is designed to excite. To open mouths.
To turn heads. Its wide stance, muscular fenders and sharp lines
reshape what is possible with SUV design.
Beautifully proportioned and using only the best design materials,
the Outlander is a very stylish and distinctive recreational
experience. Every exterior feature gives the appearance of
permanent motion. So step inside, the adventure is about to begin.
PLEASE CLOSE YOUR JAW SPORTY DETAILING
It is the attention to detail
that gives the Outlander its
strong performance identity.
Every design feature, from its
sporty front fog lamps and
beautifully integrated
horizontal tail lights to its
alloy wheels and sleek roof
rails, shows our passion for
design.

Slip into the comfortable high command seating with side support and glance at
the dashboard scenery spread before you. Everything is on hand, so it is easy to
find precisely what you need without taking your eyes off the road ahead. This is
sporty styling on top of its game. Touch and feel are in a different league.
Additional dashboard pampering includes the leather-wrapped steering wheel and
shift knob. As much an adventure in style as it is functional, the black textures
with their silver accents enrich your driving experience.
EVEN THE DASHBOARD TAKES A DIFFERENT ROUTE
INFORMATION AT A GLANCE
Sporty looking, yet displaying a number of critical vehicle
functions, the design of the dual-meter centre console suggests
the look of motorcycle meters. Red nighttime illumination, on
the smoothly integrated audio panel and air-conditioner control
dials, adds to the refined atmosphere.

INNOVATIVE SPLIT TAILGATE FOR EASY LOADINGIn designing the Outlander we have thought of everything to make loading and unloading easier. Its
spacious interior has a generous amount of cargo space, accessible by a unique, easy-to-operate
split tailgate that opens in a ‘clamshell’ fashion. You will find it easy to load packages just by
opening the larger upper section. The lower tailgate, with anti-drop function, provides a flat
surface to slide packages into the cargo area.
SMART KEYLESS ENTRY AND IGNITION
The Outlander also features a clever keyless
entry and start system. It allows you to open the
front doors and tailgate and start the engine
without the key leaving your pocket or purse.
BIG ON BIG LUGGAGE
Flexible seating and expandable luggage space
make weekend getaways, holidays and shopping
expeditions easier. The reclining rear seats,
that split 60/40, can be folded down to create
a fully flat floor area. Creating generous
luggage space.
SIT HERE
In fact, the lower part of the split tailgate is
surprisingly multi-functional. Designed to with-
stand loads up to 200 kg, it can be used for a
number of outdoor activities, like a seat for up
to two adults and to support heavy equipment.
Rails fitted to the floor offer easy loading of
weighty cargo.

The Outlander interior offers impressive space and versatility.
Generously long, wide and tall, with elevated seating and plenty
of legroom, the Outlander’s cabin is a particularly pleasant and
comfortable place to be. The Outlander’s sporty design DNA is
carried to the deeply contoured front seats, which provide the
ideal support for its sporty performance.
Offering five or seven seat flexibility, the Outlander is designed
as a stylish living space that is able to suit all requirements.
With inventive versatility to match. In fact no space is left
unused. To keep valuables out of sight, the Outlander interior
provides numerous storage compartments in, for example, the
armrest, dashboard and on top of each wheelhouse.
THE IDEAL LIVING SPACE FOR AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE2ND AND 3RD ROW SEATS
To provide generous cargo-carrying versatility, the Outlander
features second-row 60/40 split seats. These can easily be
tumbled forward by pulling one of the release knobs located
on each side of the trunk. Balancing your needs for utility,
passenger room and comfort, the clever Hide & Seat third row
seats provide two extra passenger seats when required. Or stow
them flat under the floor to provide a generous amount of extra
luggage space. Models without the third-row seats have an
under-floor storage area instead.

Versatility
THE 4X4 CONCERT HALL Hearing is believing. You are right there. On stage. With your favourite performer. Made possible by
the high-powered 650-watt Rockford Fosgate premium audio system. Custom-tuned specifically for
the Outlander. Its 8-channel amplifier pumps music through nine speakers. A subwoofer delivers
stunning base response. Saturday night will never be the same.
The Rockford Fosgate premium audio system is
equipped with a 6-CD changer (MP3 compatible)
and AM/FM radio. There is also the possibility
to enhance your driving pleasure with our multi
communication system. Boasting a 30GB hard
drive, it can hold more than enough navigation
maps for the whole of Europe and store several
thousand songs. The Outlander steering
wheel-mounted control buttons manage the
audio system, Bluetooth hands-free phone kit
and cruise control.
THE WHOLE WORLD IS YOUR STAGE

SWITCH BETWEEN CITY AND OFF ROAD IN A HEARTBEATOutlander’s bold, athletic styling echoes the 4x4 performance
roots from Mitsubishi Motors. Reflected in a level of handling
dynamics and ride comfort that is just as outstanding as its
sporty good looks. Providing confident handling stability and
off-road performance under the widest variety of driving
conditions. It is a vehicle that demands to be driven. Switching
between 2WD and 4WD in a heartbeat. So let nothing get in your
way. Just go.
18 19
Driving performance
To provide confident handling capability, from motorway cruising to snow covered
dirt tracks, the Outlander features All-Wheel Control (AWC). This combines the
electronically controlled 4WD system with the Active Stability and Traction
Control systems. AWC provides incredible grip and handling on slippery surfaces.
Simply select the best mode—2WD, 4WD or Lock— from the drive-mode selector
dial on the centre console and the Outlander alters the drive train to deliver
secure steering under the most challenging driving conditions.
DIAL FOR ADVENTURE 2WD MODE
Allows the driver to select front-wheel drive for the more economical fuel consumption.
4WD MODE
On-demand 4WD mode provides stable performance on a wide range of surfaces.
It also will automatically send power to the rear wheels, depending on driving and road surface conditions.
4WD LOCK MODE
Immediate torque is available for the rear wheels. Especially useful for gravel paths, towing and driving on slippery
and snowy roads.
20 21
Driving performance
The Outlander draws on the strong performance heritage of
Mitsubishi Motors, resulting in a new level of driving enjoyment.
While providing all the flexibility and utility of an SUV, the
Outlander is more passenger car-like in its handling and per-
formance characteristics.
If you tow a trailer, or need loads of torque for off-road driving, or
a higher fuel economy for long distance and city driving, then the
Outlander diesel engine is right up your street.
TURNING CORNERS AND HEADS WITH EASEThe 2.0 litre engine with a 6-speed manual gearbox offers superb
performance and excellent fuel efficiency.
The sport-oriented suspension tuning is reassuringly sure-footed
and with a superb level of ride comfort. Performance is enhanced
by the highly rigid body structure, with an aluminium roof that
lowers the centre of gravity for outstanding handling stability
and minimum body roll.

Safety
Making safety a top priority, the active and passive safety features of the Outlander are among the
best in its class. Driver and passengers are protected with standard front and side airbags, as well
as standard side-curtain airbags and energy-absorbing head protection interior pillars. To make
fitting child seats quick, simple and secure, the second row seats feature built in ISOFIX anchors.
Reassuringly, the rigid body design provides collision safety regardless of the direction of impact.
The elevated seating and superior position offers an extra degree of all-round visibility and driver
safety.
XENON HEADLAMPS
Xenon headlamps with standard
auto-levelling and headlamp washers
enhance road illumination.
ON-BOARD SAFETY
ASTC
Our Active Stability and Traction control is
designed to improve a vehicle's handling on
slippery surfaces. Ensuring stability and grip,
the onboard sensors instantly identify and
correct oversteer and understeer.
AIRBAGS
For maximum protection, front, side and curtain
impact airbags protect both driver and passengers.
RISE BODY
The Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution body is
designed to greatly improve occupant safety in
the unlikely event of a collision, regardless of
the direction of the impact.
EVEN MORE SAFETY FEATURES
The safety package also includes an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force
Distribution (EBD) and brake assist, front seatbelts with variable force limiters and pretensioners.
Furthermore, the Outlander is equipped with large front and rear disk brakes for superior stopping
performance.

4x4 heritage and Dakar rally
At Mitsubishi Motors, we have a pioneering 4x4 heritage that goes back to 1936
with our first four-wheel drive passenger car, the PX33. Today we dominate the
tough, rugged world of 4x4. Thanks to millions of white-knuckle driving hours
and decades of 4x4 motor sports victories. These years of feedback produced
pioneering technologies like our renowned Super Select 4WD.
Your Outlander is born from the same family of legendary 4x4 vehicles that are
designed and engineered to take on the toughest working environments on earth.
Refining our technological know-how in these inhospitable conditions has helped
to make your Outlander one of the most durable, reliable and refined SUVs out
there. When it comes to 4x4, Mitsubishi Motors owns the territory.
70 YEARS OF 4X4 PERFORMANCEMitsubishi Motors not only leads the field in record-breaking wins in the Dakar
Rally, it demonstrates the power of our 4x4 intentions: to be number one when it
comes to landmark 4x4 innovation. More than a race, it is the ultimate testing
ground on which to refine over 70-years of 4WD expertise and develop ground-
breaking technology. You probably will not rally across the open desert to your
office every morning, but wherever you travel in your Mitsubishi Outlander our
4x4 Dakar legacy will be with you. Enhancing your driving pleasure and sense
of adventure.
