Mitsubishi Outlander / Airtrek
Production period:	since 2001
Class :	SUV
Body versions :	Station wagon

The Mitsubishi Outlander is an SUV from the Japanese car manufacturer Mitsubishi that has been in production since spring 2001.

It has been sold on the Asian market since March 2001 under the name Mitsubishi Airtrek and since May 2003 also on the North American market.

Outlander (CU0W, 2001-2006)

1st generation
Mitsubishi Outlander (2001-2006)
Production period:	2001-2006
Body versions :	Station wagon
Engines:	Otto engines : 2.0–2.4 liters (100–148 kW)
Length:	4545 mm
Width:	1750 mm
Height:	1670 mm
Wheelbase :	2625 mm
Empty weight :	1440-1658 kg

The Outlander has also been available in Germany since spring 2003. It is based on the platform of the Mitsubishi Lancer , was developed together with Daimler and the engine range is similar to that of the Mitsubishi Galant . It is a stylistically revised version of the Japanese Airtrek developed for foreign markets .

With the basic engine (2.0-l four-cylinder petrol engine, 100 kW / 136 hp), the Outlander is powered either via the front or all wheels. All other models have permanent four-wheel drive. All Outlanders have independent suspension. The version with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder petrol engine (118 kW / 160 PS) is also available with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

The 2.0-l turbo engine with 148 kW (201 PS) uses the technology of the 8th generation of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and gives the Outlander good acceleration values. The reduced horsepower results from a different turbocharger and modified ECU software. The changed exhaust gas values are also the reason that the Outlander Turbo / Airtrek Turbo in Germany had 148 kW (201 PS) (instead of 177 kW (240 PS) in Japan). Characteristic of the Outlander Turbo is the eye-catching air scoop on the hood, which serves as a vent for the intercooler.

The second generation was presented in April 2006 at the New York International Auto Show . A special feature is the optional CVT transmission. The version that has been on the European market since February 2007 was also available with a diesel engine for the first time. Initially, a 2.0 liter pump nozzle diesel engine was used, which was supplied by Volkswagen .

As early as January 17, 2007 it was decided to use a 2.2 liter common rail diesel from PSA later . From November 2007, there were therefore two different diesel engines: in the more simply equipped models, it was the two-liter unit from VW, in the higher-quality versions the 2.2-liter from PSA.

This is the same engine as is used in the PSA sister models, which have been sold with a modified front end and a different body design since summer 2007 as the Peugeot 4007 and the Citroën C-Crosser . At the same time, the range was expanded to include a version with a gasoline engine. A 2.4-liter four-cylinder GEMA (so-called "world engine") developed in cooperation with Daimler-Chrysler and Hyundai is used. Only this 125 kW (170 hp) petrol engine is also available with an automatic transmission, depending on the equipment version; a continuously variable CVT transmission is used, which simulates six speed levels by programming. In addition, a 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine with 162 kW (230 PS) and a 6-speed automatic is offered in the USA (2006), Russia and Japan (2007).

The Outlander Concept was presented at the Mondial de l'Automobile Paris 2006, a show car based on the production model from Japan ; at the Geneva Motor Show 2007 also a variant of it with a 3.0-liter V6.

Facelift

In February 2010, the revised Outlander was launched on the German market. The compact SUV has been supplemented with upgraded equipment, an expanded range of drives and the so-called “Jetfighter” front grill. The rear remained unchanged except for a chrome-plated trim strip above the license plate recess.

New for the 115 kW (156 PS) diesel variant 2.2 DI-D was a TC-SST dual-clutch sports transmission , which works either as a sequential manual transmission or as a fully automatic transmission . The system also includes hill start assistance .

The Mitsubishi Outlander has also been supplemented by a front-wheel drive entry-level version 2.0 2WD with variable MIVEC valve control. The 2.0-liter gasoline engine develops an output of 108 kW (147 hp).

Since the model change, the Outlander has been produced for the European market by the Mitsubishi subsidiary Netherlands Car BV ( NedCar ) in Born (Netherlands), where other Mitsubishi models and the Volvo S40 / V40 also rolled off the assembly line.

Stars in the Euro NCAP - Crash Test

The third generation of the Outlander was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in spring 2012 . It is available as a 2.0 MIVEC gasoline engine and as a 2.2 Di-D common rail diesel engine. Both variants produce 110 kW (150 PS). Since November 2012, the Di-D common rail diesel engine has been available with an optional completely newly developed 6-speed automatic transmission.

The new Outlander is a completely newly developed mid-range crossover, which, according to Mitsubishi's marketing strategists, should embody the visual messages “solid, safe, clear”.

More economical engines, driver assistance systems and space for up to seven people make the sporty SUV stand out from its predecessor models.

The Japanese SUV has a combined total consumption of 5.1–6.7 liters, which corresponds to CO ₂ emissions of 134–155 g.

Based on the Outlander, the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) has been available since spring 2014. (English p lug-in h ybrid e lectric v ehicle)

environment

The Eco-Mode control activates energy-saving measures for the Outlander's engine.

The Eco-Drive Assistant and the Eco-Score display inform the driver about the efficiency of the current driving style. Consumption and emissions are also reduced by the automatic start-stop system , which automatically switches off the engine of the new crossover, for example when it stops at traffic lights.

inner space

The Outlander is available as a five- and seven-seater. The trunk volume can be expanded to 1,754 liters by folding down the rear seats. The variable interior space is 335 mm longer than the previous model.

Plug-in hybrid

The third generation of the Outlander is also available as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) as a five-seater (but not a seven-seater). The model was shown at the Paris Motor Show in 2012. The plug-in hybrid has a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder MIVEC petrol engine, coupled with an electric drive train, two 60 kW electric motors drive the front and rear wheels independently of one another. The vehicle has a system output of 120 kW (163 hp) and a system torque of 332 Nm. The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 12 kWh and is located in the vehicle floor. Due to the lower center of gravity of the vehicle, the Outlander has better handling. The location of the battery in the interior and trunk means that no space is lost, apart from the space for the third row of seats that can be lowered.

In EV mode (purely electric), the two electric motors on the front and rear axles work together. With sufficient battery capacity, it has a purely electric range of up to 54 km and a top speed of up to 120 km / h. If the charge level of the battery is too low or if the driver calls up more than 60 kW of power, the Outlander automatically switches to one of the two hybrid modes: serial or parallel. In serial mode, the petrol engine drives a generator that feeds the electricity to supply the two electric motors into the battery. In the parallel hybrid mode, the gasoline engine acting on the front axle mainly provides propulsion. He is assisted by the rear electric motor or by both. The Outlander Plug-In Hybrid can convert kinetic energy into electrical power when braking or taking off the accelerator and feed it into the lithium-ion battery.

Driver assistance systems

Adaptive cruise control ACC

A 77 GHz radar behind the front grille measures the distance to the vehicle in front. The radar recognizes the vehicle and automatically keeps the distance constant. Three different distance levels can be selected using the steering wheel control buttons. If there is no vehicle in front, the selected speed is maintained even if the accelerator pedal is not pressed.

Collision warning system FCM

The same 77 GHz radar is used here as in the ACC system. In dangerous situations, the collision warning system warns with a display on the screen. The brake pressure is built up preventively, i. This means that when the driver applies the brake, it reacts faster than normal. If the driver does not react to the display or the warning tone, the system also intervenes with light braking intervention. In the event of an unavoidable collision, the system reduces the severity of the impact by automatically initiating heavy braking, which automatically brakes to a standstill at speeds of up to 30 km / h.

Lane Keeping Assist LDW

A camera in the windshield analyzes road markings. The LDW system warns visually and acoustically when crossing lines. However, the car must have a speed of more than 65 km / h and there must be a lane width of over 2.60 m. The Lane Keeping Assistant recognizes a wide variety of line types and colors. As soon as the turn signal is activated, this assistant is deactivated.

All-wheel drive system AWC

The third generation of the Mitsubishi Outlander is available as a 2WD and 4WD variant. With the 4WD variants, the "AWC" ensures the best handling and excellent driving dynamics / stability in all road conditions.

With the active AWC system in the standard "4 WD Auto" mode, an optimal force distribution between the axles is always ensured. Various factors such as:

Accelerator position
Vehicle speed
Engine torque
MASC information about the speed of the individual wheels
rotational speed

are taken into account.

When driving steadily, most of the power is delivered to the front wheels. For example, when accelerating or cornering, the rear wheels are also included as required.

Three settings can be selected using the push button in the center console:

4WD ECO: Under normal conditions, the 2WD version is switched on. As soon as the sensors detect slippage on a wheel, the rear axle automatically engages.
4WD AUTO: Variable power distribution on the front and rear axles for all road conditions.
4WD LOCK: On very slippery surfaces, the drive power can be distributed to both axles depending on the grip, but the system still allows a speed difference (no fixed center differential lock).

Registration numbers

Since the market launch in 2003 up to and including December 2019, 89,229 Outlanders have been newly registered in the Federal Republic of Germany. In 2017, the plug-in hybrid variant accounted for around 24 percent; in 2018 it was around 26 percent. In 2019, the hybrid share rose sharply to 62 percent. The overall approvals were also higher than ever before.
