Mitsubishi Motors is delivered the new model of compact crossover utility vehicle (CUV), 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT. The Outlander GT is packed with technology, performance and premium features that are uncommon in the compact SUV class. The Outlander GT concept, which features the “Jet Fighter” front end inspired by the rally car Lancer Evolution sports sedan. Combined with a reliability record that would surprise many, the Outlander also qualifies as the favorite crossover SUV in the segment.

A front grille design inspired by the Lancer Evolution’s ‘jet fighter’ look is clearly in play on the Outlander GT Prototype, which sports complementary new design elements, such as a reshaped front bumper, side mirrors, fenders and hood. Reshaped Bi-Xenon HID headlamps, a new rear bumper and side sills, plus a bold polished finish on the already standard aluminum roof panel accentuate the sporty appeal.

In addition to the fixes and enhancements, the 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander lineup retains a desirable feature set that includes a hard drive-based navigation and music storage system, excellent Rockford-Fosgate sound system, rear-seat DVD entertainment system, comprehensive vehicle information and personalization system, keyless entry and start, sliding/reclining second row, child-size third row, paddle shifters, excellent leather seats and a two-piece tailgate that makes for easier loading, unloading and sitting. This long list of standard and available goodies remains our favorite Outlander advantage.

The Outlander GT will be powered by the 220-hp, 3.0L MIVEC V-6 engine from the current topline Outlander XLS, and will be linked to Mitsubishi’s Super-All-Wheel-Control drive system. The new Outlander will also feature Mitsubishi’s Idle Neutral Logic, a system that automatically shifts the Outlander’s six-speed Sportronic automatic transmission into neutral when the vehicle is completely stopped, to conserve fuel.
