Customer Reviews

It seems like the great reviews for the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander are going to continue to roll in.  It is becoming very hard to find a bad review, the internet is just getting flooded with praise for our newly designed Outlander!  The Outlander combines performance and safety, and was awarded the IIHS top Safety Pick +.  Read some reviews maybe you will want to buy your own.


Vancouver Sun [Canada], 7/2/2013
"Compared with the outgoing model, the new interior is light years ahead. Materials are improved, the ergonomics are better and the cabin is quite a bit quieter than in previous generations."
"That quietness was put to the test during a test drive from Vancouver to Squamish, B.C., that included a good chunk of off-roading over gravel roads and some rather rough terrain. Despite the twists and turns putting strain on the chassis, the cabin remained pretty silent other than the groans of its occupants as we went over some shock-inducing rocks."
"The off-roading also let us test out Mitsubishi�€ ™s two four-wheel drive systems: All-Wheel Control on ES and SE trims and Super All-Wheel Control on the GT. Both handled the terrain without any issues, going up and coming back down from 2,000 feet above sea level."
Nanaimo Daily News [Canada], 7/3/2013 online
"The revised bi-level nose is much neater with a shallow two-bar chrome grille flanked by integrated headlight clusters. The lower air intake is much less obtrusive than the previous model while the body sides are smoother with a simple style ridge defining the 'waist' that runs from the headlights to the taillights. The overall impression is mature and conservative rather than the bold and daring look of the previous model."
"The wind-cheating profile with roof grooves and rear roof spoiler is seven per cent more efficient, registering a remarkably low 0.33 co-efficient of drag (as good or better than some sports coupes). Combined with a reduction in overall weight and a more efficient powertrain, the 2014 Outlander now delivers best-in-class fuel economy."
"One thing I always appreciate in Mitsubishi models is the driver oriented cockpit design. All the controls and gauges are logically placed, easy to read and reach."
"The Sportronic transmission will do all the work or you can enjoy a greater measure of control - and fun - by using the magnesium paddle shifters. Greater use of sound deadening materials makes the cabin quiet as a vault and the new electric power steering is light and direct."
"When the second and third rows are folded flat you get a very useful 1,792 liters (63.3 cu-ft) of cargo capacity. And new for 2014 is the one-piece power lift gate that makes stowing and going much easier. "

New 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Designated an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+

Mitsubishi is demonstrating consistent excellence by earning an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick+ for the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander.  Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. was honored to learn that its completely redesigned Outlander received this award for the second year in a row. Mitsubishi Motors is the only automobile manufacturer to have its entire SUV lineup named as IIHS 2013 "Top Safety Pick +" award winners.  Only 3 of the 15 vehicles tested in the Small SUV segment received the + distinction.  2 of the 3 vehicles are produced by Mitsubishi Motors, the 7 passenger 2014 Outlander and the 5 passenger Outlander Sport both received this honorable accolade in June.  Receiving this award indicates that these vehicles offer superior crash protection and meet the tougher crash safety standers set by the non-profit vehicle research and crash test ratings agency.  The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rates vehicles as “good,” “acceptable,” “marginal” or “poor” based on performance in a moderate overlap frontal crash, small overlap frontal crash, side impact, rollover, plus evaluations of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts. The “Top Safety Pick+” requires a vehicle to score a “good” rating in at least four of the five tests and no less than an “acceptable” in the fifth test.  The Outlander is one of only two Small SUVs that achieve a rating of "good" in all 5 categories of the new test.  The 2014 Outlander tested notably well in the small overlap frontal crash portion of the test, which was just added this year.  The success of the new Outlander can be attributed to the many advance high-tech design features including the increased use of high-tensile steel and Mitsubishi's patented Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) safety body construction. 

Starting at an MSRP of only $22,995, the new 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander comes with a long list of standard features (including seating for seven) and is one of the most fuel efficient crossover vehicles in its class with an EPA fuel mileage rating of 31 mpg highway.  For more information about the all new 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander please visit media.mitsubishicars.com.

Mitsubishi Expanding its Market

Pragati Industries Limited assembles cars and buses, of the Pajero, Vauxhall, and Mitsubishi brands. Pragati Industries Limited is based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.  Mitsubishi wants to grow the company as a whole and Pragati is holding a negotiation with Mitsubishi to produce its cars. The country's lone state-owned automobile assembling industry is now assembling Mitsubishi's Pajero car.

This proposal comes nearly two years after Pragati Industries of Bangladesh started assembling Mitsubishi cars. Mitsubishi for years has been trying to expand more to the open market, currently Mitsubishi is the 6^th largest automaker in Japan and 16^th in the world by production. Mitsubishi has very strong interests after companies from South Korea and Malaysia planned to set up car plants in Bangladesh to increase their growing market.

Both Mitsubishi and Bangladesh will benefit from this deal if it fully goes through. Mitsubishi will have more car plants and more of a market to appeal too and Bangladesh economy will improve. Why? Well one example stated by Md Abdul Hamid Sharif, chief executive officer of Auto Con Group, is that the cost of a Mitsubishi Pajero Car, which is sold in Japanese market, will come down by 35% to 40% in the local market, if such vehicle is manufactured in Bangladesh with minimum value addition of 50%-60%.

  “Once the agreement is done, it will move Bangladesh to another level of industrialization,” said Md Abdul Hamid Sharif, chief executive officer of Auto Con Group.
