Mitsubishi has introduced a petrol engine to the Outlander line-up, with prices for models starting from £27,680.
The 2.0-litre unit is paired to a CVT automatic transmission and electronically-controlled four-wheel drive, and produces 148bhp with 195Nm of torque. Wheel-mounted gear change paddles are also fitted for the option of ‘manual’ control.
The Drive Mode Selector allows the driver to choose between Eco, Auto and Lock modes, with the latter used for rough terrain and low-grip conditions.
All of the vehicles fitted with the petrol engine come with seven seats as standard, with the rearmost seats able to be flattened to accommodate a 502-litre boot. When all the back seats are folded down, the Outlander has 1,608 litres of rear loading space.
The Outlander has been refreshed for the 2019 model year, with the SUV given a new mesh front grille, new headlamps and front lower extensions, as well as a revised rear bumper and two-tone 18-inch alloys.
