香蕉视频直播淚 get by with a little help from my friends,香蕉视频直播� is a line from a classic Beatles song. It could also apply to Mitsubishi 香蕉视频直播� a member of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance 香蕉视频直播� that uses the Nissan Rogue framework for the 2022 Outlander.

Sharing has its benefits, such as spreading development costs over a wider customer base. The trick is to create different enough identities for the Rogue and the Outlander so that there香蕉视频直播檚 reason to buy one or the other, whether it comes down to style or capability or brand loyalty.

The new Outlander mostly succeeds on this front with touches that make it look like a Mitsubishi.

Compared with the outgoing Outlander, the new model is slightly longer, five centimetres wider and four centimetres taller. The wheelbase 香蕉视频直播� the distance between the centrelines of the front and rear wheels 香蕉视频直播� increases 3.5 centimetres. Most of these dimensions are identical or closely similar to the Rogue香蕉视频直播檚.

That香蕉视频直播檚 only part of the story, though. The new Outlander香蕉视频直播檚 rugged presence is far superior to the previous version香蕉视频直播檚 somewhat dated design. The front end is also more massive looking than the Rogue香蕉视频直播檚, especially the grille and headlight surrounds. The rest of the bodywork differs slightly from the Nissan香蕉视频直播檚.

The Outlander香蕉视频直播檚 interior also differs in seating capacity. As before 香蕉视频直播� and unlike the Rogue 香蕉视频直播� a two-person third row is standard, although the tight quarters means it香蕉视频直播檚 best for occasional use or small children. Both second- and third-row seats are split folding, which allows you to configure a variety of passenger and cargo arrangements. Front-row folks get a lovely dashboard and control panel that香蕉视频直播檚 fronted by a dominant touch-screen.

The Outlander uses a nearly identical 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine to the Rogue that makes 181 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. For the Outlander, that香蕉视频直播檚 a nice little bump over the previous base four-cylinder that produced 166 horsepower and 162 pound-feet. The previously optional 3.0-litre V-6 with 224 horses and 215 pound-feet has been put out to pasture.

The 2.5 is reasonably muscular and somewhat growly under hard acceleration, however it provides just 2,000 pounds (910 kg) of towing capacity compared with 3,500 pounds (1,590 kg) for the outgoing V-6-powered model.

The Outlander香蕉视频直播檚 continuously variable transmission comes with eight built-in steps that somewhat copies a conventional geared automatic. All-wheel-drive is standard for all trims.

Fuel consumption is rated at 9.7 l/100 km in the city, 7.9 on the highway and 8.9 combined. That香蕉视频直播檚 slightly higher than the Rogue香蕉视频直播檚 9.2/7.2/8.3 numbers (with AWD). The Nissan is a bit lighter, which might account for some of the difference.

All Outlander models come with Eco, Normal, Tarmac (pavement), Gravel, Snow and Mud settings that vary the engine, transmission and steering programming.

The base ES 香蕉视频直播� one of five different variants 香蕉视频直播� lists for $33,900, including destination fees. Included in the price is dual-zone climate control, six-speaker audio system, 8.0-inch display plus a number of active-safety technologies such as blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert that assists when backing up.

Depending on the trim, the rest of the field comes with items such as a power-adjustable driver香蕉视频直播檚 seat, heated front seats, 9.0-inch touch-screen with navigation, and a multi-view camera.

The range-topping GT ($45,100) comes with tri-zone climate control, quilted leather seat covers, a power-adjustable passenger seat and a 12.3-inch digital driver香蕉视频直播檚 information display.

By mid-2022, Mitsubishi says it will launch a new Outlander PHEV (plug-in hybrid) with added power and electric range than the current carryover version.

The bolder-looking Outlander is a significant improvement from the previous model in nearly every respect, although ride quality over bumps and broken pavement is a bit jarring and the transmission allows the engine to feel like it香蕉视频直播檚 free-wheeling under hard acceleration. But the redesign is the kind of jolt the nameplate needs to compete with the category香蕉视频直播檚 heavy-hitters, including the Rogue.
