The fourth generation 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander will make its global debut on February 16 on Amazon Live. The company has released a teaser video, which shows a big box carrying the first unit of the Mitsubishi Outlander for the global debut. The SUV was shipped to the United States, where it will be unveiled on February 17, 2021.
Mitsubishi’s North American division has officially announced a partnership with Amazon to host the virtual event of global debut of the new Outlander. The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander will become the first vehicle to be unveiled on Amazon Live. The company has already released the teaser images of the SUV in December 2020.
The new Outlander is designed and developed under the ideal of the Japanese term “I-Fu-Do-Do”, which refers to authentic and majestic. The teaser and spy images confirm that the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander will be inspired by the Engelberg Tourer concept. The SUV will debut the brand’s new front grille and revised headlamps, but it retains the double optical assembly scheme which we have already seen on the Eclipse Cross. The SUV gets wraparound windscreen design and the glossy black D-pillar, which gives a floating roof design. It features slim L-shaped tail-lights with striking arrow-shaped light guides.
The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander will be based on the Renault-Nissan Alliance’s CMF-C/D platform, which also underpins the X-Trail. It will also share the Nissan’s engine. This will help Mitsubishi to save cost of development of the new model. The new generation Outlander is rumoured to grow in size. The brand will position the new SUV as the largest model in the medium SUV market. The new model will be loaded with several high-end comfort and convenience features.
Powering the new Outlander is a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that also powers the X-Trail. Adding to it, the SUV will also get PHEV technology featuring a 2.4-litre engine, an electric motor on each axle and a bigger 20kWh lithium-ion battery. The SUV could run up to 70km on full electric mode. It will receive an updated version of its rally-derived Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) technology.
