2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Maintains Bestselling Achievement

When the Mitsubishi Outlander has been awarded as the bestselling vehicle in the North American lineup, it seems that the company has particular burden on the shoulders. This achievement has to be maintained and kept to make sure that this achievement is not for granted. This burden is heavier when this compact SUV represents the American workforce. The automaker has a role to market this car in the United States and also export markets like Russia, the Middle East and also Central America. In this case, the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport comes to give a proof.




Refreshment is made by applying restyled trapezoid grille. The front fascia is lower and it is a place to hold the recessed fog lamps surrounded with new chrome. The side sills come in black color as well. Meanwhile, the rear side is also featured with a new LED taillamps. In terms of body color, the customers will be offered with two additional body colors. They are White Pearl and Quick Silver. There is no difference among them since they are provided with similar wheels, 18-inch aluminum wheels, as standard feature.

The nuance of sporty for the exterior is bought to the cabin. The interior looks sporty with a shift knob and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. However, they are not all. There are several new fabric choices as well. In SE version, the heated front seats and rain-sensing wipers are included as standard feature. The driver will take the advantages of Mitsubishi’s FUSE Hands-free Link System. Like other compact vehicles, the spacious cabin doesn’t need to doubt. The front seats are supportive while the rear seats can accommodate two adults or three kids.

It is important to know that this car is built in two trim levels. The first is ES as base and the second is SE. Each of them is differentiated with features applied. However, similar heart is placed under the hood of both trims. This car is powered by a 2.0-liter inline-4 engine. According the official report, this engine gives the total output of 148 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque. When this engine is paired with CVT as standard in the SE trim, CVT is optional on the ES. The automaker states that this CVT has been revised and the influence toward performance is clearly defined.

In short, this car is quite responsive because of adequate engine. The driver can feel smooth driving without any noise from the engine. For the base trim, the customers have to spend $19,170. It is quite reasonable price for SUV. Meanwhile, the SE is more expensive with the price at $22,295.
