2016 Mitsubishi Outlander - The San Diego Union-Tribune
But at the recent media drive for the 2016 Outlander crossover, company vice president Don Swearingen said, “We’ve pulled ourselves out of it and the (new Outlander) is the best product we’ve ever brought to market. The company has high hopes for the major revamp of its midsize, seven-passenger crossover vehicle. The Outlander may not be a benchmark vehicle in this hot-selling segment, but the best crossovers were benchmarked by Mitsubishi to cherry pick the best enhancements. The 2016 corrects those shortcomings and creates, at last, a crossover to challenge the dozen or so choices in this group. The new Outlander is very recognizable with new sheet metal from the windshield forward, a large-mouth grille, new headlights and more chrome. The interior gets a meatier steering wheel, improved leather, a fabric headliner and fabric-wrapped windshield pillars. The standard seats have better fabric upholstery and there’s more padding to the armrests. The back seat has the same basic dimensions — including a comfy 37. 3 inches of legroom. And the engineers simplified the seat flip-and-fold process to just three steps. Source: www.sandiegouniontribune.com
