Outlander heralds fresh outlook at Mitsubishi - Irish Independent
The drive to improve quality and design has already started and "stylish", "cool" and "connected" are now the buzz words as the company opens a new design studio in Frankfurt with an eye to growing European markets where sales have already shown... In the Irish market, sales are also up as Frank Keane celebrates the 30th anniversary of holding the Mitsubishi import franchise. They are in excess of the big market growth generally so far this year - a 48pc improvement in car sales and a 57pc improvement in LCV sales. New to the scene here is a fifth generation L200, an improved version of the Outlander and a new, more economical, 1. 6-litre diesel engine for the ASX. The new, more streamlined, version of the Outlander, Mitsubishi's mid-sized SUV is now on sale. Sound-proofing is also improved, gears are slick and it is now a practical people carrier and off-roader in 4x4 version, and for its size, is reasonably cheap to run. This is a vehicle that will mean different things to different people and its usefulness makes it desirable. A new grille, LED daytime running lights , new bumpers, 18in two-tone alloy wheels give a more upmarket, if not exciting, look. Source: www.independent.ie
