Test Drive Mitsubishi Outlander since 2012 SUV

Test Drive Mitsubishi Outlander on Russian Roads

To master the roads near the Nizhny Novgorod today we had a new Mitsubishi Outlander. Having dropped by chance in the playlist, the composition from the movie Midshipment, ahead! And became the main theme of our adventures.

Horse yes traveler, Ali you are not tight,
Kababi really do not go around the way ...

Opinions of colleagues about the new design Outlander were divided. Someone shouted that the car looks more courageously in the old version, someone with foam at the mouth proved that now it became the most. In my opinion, it is meaningless to argue here, because a new design is only the continuation of ideas decorated in the past Outlander. If you carefully look at the new strokes, the whole path has been perfectly visible, which trained car designers since 2001. For example, the diagonal view of the front optics Mitsubishi was before, now the square became even more obvious. The same applies to the radiator lattice, sides (racks, lines), etc., by the way, and the size of the car also retained the previous one, decreasing only 10 mm in length. Stunning loyalty to traditions.
But inside Mitsubishi Outlander became an order of magnitude better: the finish materials changed to softer, the audio and cruise control button was changed to the steering wheel. And - glory to the gods! - There was an adjustment of this steering wheel by departure. New colorful navigation on a touchscreen is 6.1 inches, invisible access and a motor start button.

Separately, it is worth saying about the trunk: with a folded rear row, a smooth shelf is formed with a length of 1673 mm, which is 323 mm more than in the past Outlander. Another achievement can be considered the rear door electric drive, however, the owners of the top version will be able to take advantage of this last word.

Off-road to overcome - not a thing,
But how to overcome the road?

Incredibly, but the fact - with Russian roads Mitsubishi Outlander could not make friends. Numerous rutting and waves for which we drove, forced the car to bounce, swing and roll into turns. Yes, you can not wait for the car, on the presentation of which so much time paid the story about its extinct potential and the modified algorithm of the full drive. 4WD Eco, which came to replace the 2WD mode, means that, if necessary, the rear will be connected to help to the front wheels. Moreover, such a four-wheel drive will be extremely economical. Second mode - 4WD AUTO - four-wheel drive, working in normal mode. The third 4WD Lock was supposed to be useful later. In theory, the first two modes should have been enough on asphalt coating. However, they were enough, it is still a suspension to blame for the star.

But at the same time, it is necessary to pay tribute to Mitsubishi engineers, the overclocking dynamics really improved, although the power units remained the same. The car is still completed with two gasoline engines of the 4B1 series of 2.0 and 2.4 liters with a capacity of 146 and 167 hp. respectively. A better overclocking was achieved by reducing the windshield coefficient, reducing the mass of the car, changes in the algorithm for the work of the variator and more sensitive to the gas pedal. That's just the dynamics of this makes it stronger to grab about the new steering wheel with an electric power plant when the car is rearranged in another rut. Well, or reset the speed and ride your permitted 60-80 km / h. In this case, Outlander is stable and monumental as Fujiima itself.

No bumps, then there will be a pit,
Rytvina Right, Left Kyuvet.
Wow, the road, you tell us right -
Do you go to the next world?

After such behavior on the bad, but still asphalt from Outlander on off-road, nothing more good to wait. Nominally, only this new generation received the official status of an SUV, just a little changing the angle of entry. But it turned out that all sorts of fonts are really his element. That's just an active movement on Russian bouanes in 4WD Lock mode does not imply fuel economy.

Yes, and completely forgot to add - the sand turned out to be for Outlander real peril. Both crews who decided to test cars in the dunes, they were safely planted there. With everything with the sands, as you understand, it was not at all. But numerous brodes and ditch to overcome on

Mitsu is a pleasure.
But the boots agree, and the lap,
How our versts do not love us.
After all, it is saved here the wise, what to cry,
And it is easier to escape than catching.

Mitsubishi Outlander bought, buy and buy. Modern appearance, pleasant interior, spacious trunk, omnivorous (the car now consumes AI92) and sufficient resource to get to most Russian villages price can be called quite affordable. Lower plan - 969 thousand rubles, the top version is 1 million 419 thousand. It is sad only the absence of diesel engines. Well, if you want an extreme, then on any car you have to be prepared for what you have to run behind the tractor.

And the trait and the god
On one, see, account,
You, Russian road,
Seven bends on the mile.
