The author recently received a question in the fan group of "Car Power": What do you think of GAC Mitsubishi Outlander? Which one is better to buy?
Answer: I think Mitsubishi Outlander is very cost-effective, and the main 196,800 yuan four-wheel drive 7-seater model.
Outlander's engine, gearbox, four-wheel drive and other core configurations and technologies are imported, equipped with imported 4J series MIVEC engine, 2.4L engine rated power of 141kW, maximum torque of 235N•m, the power is stronger than the same level of models, the gearbox is CVT, the overall driving experience is relaxed, smooth and fuel-efficient.
In addition, the Outlander's chassis is relatively stable and stiff, without any feeling of looseness.
Inheriting Mitsubishi's excellent four-wheel drive system - 4WD four-wheel drive technology and S-AWC super all-wheel control system, the vehicle's passing performance is very good in its class, and the intelligent four-wheel drive system has ECO economy mode, AUTO automatic mode and LOCK lock mode, which can take into account high fuel economy and passing performance.
In addition, Outlander offers the RISE body and pedestrian protection design, which is equipped with seven airbags, including knee airbags. The RISE body adopts a collision energy absorption structure, which can effectively improve the vehicle's pedestrian protection ability. The roof and floor are reinforced to effectively suppress the deformation of the body during collision and protect the safety of drivers and passengers.
Of course, whether the car is good or not, the real owner is the most vocal. As the originator of urban SUVs, Outlander has undergone three generations of evolution, and its product quality and durability have been well recognized by the market, and have won a good reputation from more than 1.1 million users around the world.
Why do we recommend the 196,800 yuan four-wheel drive 7-seater luxury version?
Outlander is divided into four models according to displacement and configuration, with only a 2.0L engine, only two-wheel drive, five-seater, and no ESP, but the price is as low as 160,000 yuan, which is obviously in line with the price of domestic SUVs such as Boyue, CS75, and GS4.
If you choose the lowest configuration because of budget constraints, you don't have to worry about the configuration being too simple, such as it has navigation, reversing image, central control screen, automatic air conditioning, multi-function steering wheel, second-row seat backrest angle adjustment and many other practical functions, and the fuel consumption data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology with CVT power is 5.3L/100km, so for users who pursue economy and practicality, Outlander 2.0L is very suitable.
The next 2.4L models have a lot of high-end configurations, such as the 2.4L four-wheel drive elite version and luxury version within 200,000 yuan, with electronically controlled four-wheel drive, front and rear head/side/knee airbags, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, paddle shifters, keyless entry, dual-zone air conditioning, sunroof, and even an electric tailgate. The elite version and the luxury version are the difference between 5 and 7 seats, a difference of 7,000 yuan. The author recommends choosing the luxury version, which is equivalent to spending an extra 7,000 yuan to buy two leather seats, which greatly increases the practicality. Needless to say, the benefits can be folded up when not in use, and the floor is also very flat, which has little impact on the trunk space, so the luxury version is its essence.
