The redesigned Outlander is 9 cm longer and 5 cm wider than its predecessor. One of its interesting features is an aluminium roof, which lowers the centre of gravity for improved road holding. The Outlander is offered in two trim levels: LS, with a choice of either two- or four-wheel drive, and the four-wheel-drive XLS.



The 3.0L V6 engine produces 220 horsepower and 204 pound-feet of torque. Acceleration is adequate and pickup is relatively lively. Overall engine performance is satisfactory. The engine in our tester growled when idling with the transmission engaged. The throttle is rather abrupt. The engine meets strict Tier2/Bin5 emissions control standards.
The original Mitsubishi Lancer never exactly blew us away. It was underpowered and not particularly entertaining to drive, its interior was simply OK and its styling was dull to boot. The second-generation Lancer has corrected two of those problems, especially with its aggressive new styling featuring a "shark nose" fascia. It's also kind of fun to drive, thanks to solid handling dynamics and (apart from the base engine) peppy engine choices.

The Mitsubishi Carisma is a large family car produced for the European market by Mitsubishi Motors from 1995 to 2004. The model name was derived from a combination of the English car and the Greek kharisma, meaning "divine gift". It was co-developed with Volvo, sharing its chassis with the first generation of the Volvo S40, and built at the NedCar factory in Born, Netherlands, which the two companies co-owned at the time. Over 350,000 were built during its production run.

Debuting a few years after the start of the new millennium, the first-generation Mitsubishi Outlander was a late arrival to the small-SUV segment. Like many of its peers, it had a car-based design that translated into good handling and a comfortable ride on paved roads, but limited off-road capability. With so many competitors, Mitsubishi tried to set the Outlander apart with distinctive styling and a sporty demeanor.

Mitsubishi ASX is a compact crossover vehicle, first released in the Japanese domestic market. In Europe, Australia, Jamaica and Latin America it is sold as the Mitsubishi ASX (an abbreviation of "Active Sports Crossover"), and as the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the United States. In Canada it is sold as the Mitsubishi RVR, while in Puerto Rico it keeps both the ASX and Outlander Sport titles as well. It is based on the design of the Mitsubishi Concept-cX prototype first exhibited at the 62nd Frankfurt Motor Show.
