Thread: First drive review: Mitsubishi Outlander 2.2 DiD GX4 4WD

Right-hand-drive Outlander seems well prepared for bad UK roads, but offers little for owners to enthuse about. The third generation of Mitsubishis Outlander, which is now just weeks from its UK-market introduction. A full road test is in the offing, as is a group test – the latter taking into account the avalanche of new models youve got to choose from if youre shopping for a 30k SUV this winter. Whether its the 2013 Toyota RAV4, the new Ford Kuga, last years Honda CRV or the Hyundai Santa Fe – or none of the above – you can be certain that well crown a new Autocar class champion before long. But ahead of all that came an early chance to sample the Outlander in UK-market specification and right-hand-drive form. Not on UK roads, mores the pity, but at least on surfaces varied enough to tell how this medium-size seven-seater should conduct itself over here.
