Mitsubishi rarely takes its vaunted street cred for granted, and therefore offers an optional premium sound system that could make top-tier luxury buyers jealous. The Rockford Fosgate system didn't only provide a
nine-speaker, 650-watt DSP system to out-rock, out-rap, or out-whatever any other OEM system in the compact SUV segment, but it designed the system to work specifically within the framework of the new Outlander, and even had Mitsubishi stiffen the doors to negate any potential vibration. The popular audio supplier developed a similar system for Mitsubishi's new Eclipse, and the result is otherworldly.
Overall, the interior is unique in its choice of motifs, with Mitsubishi opting for a motorbike look to appeal to young, adventurous buyers. It's unique for sure, but then again not so radical that less adventurous buyers will be offended.
In Japan, at least, the new Outlander will be available in eight body
colours, but the automaker isn't saying which ones - only that they'll have strong outdoor cues. Inside, black and silver offers a sporting appeal over luxury.
The new Outlander will be built in Japan at Mitsubishi's revamped Mizushima Plant, where a new welding line has been added. Despite the cooperative arrangement with DaimlerChrysler and Hyundai, the engine will be produced at Mitsubishi's Shiga Engine Plant, which has also been updated to include "state-of-the art machining and assembly lines."
