Mitsubishi Outlander IV (facelift 2024): Overview
The Outlander IV, and specifically this 2024 facelift, is designed to appeal to buyers seeking a practical, family-oriented vehicle with a reduced environmental impact. The plug-in hybrid system allows for a substantial amount of all-electric driving range, making it suitable for daily commutes and shorter journeys. The vehicle’s all-wheel-drive system provides enhanced traction and stability in various weather conditions. The facelift brings subtle but noticeable changes to the exterior and interior, focusing on modernizing the design and improving the overall driving experience.
Engine & Performance
At the heart of the Outlander IV (facelift 2024) 2.4 MIVEC is a 2.4-liter inline-four cylinder gasoline engine paired with a sophisticated plug-in hybrid system. The gasoline engine produces 136 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 203 Nm (149.73 lb.-ft.) of torque at 4000 rpm. This engine utilizes Mitsubishi’s MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control) technology to optimize performance and fuel efficiency. The combined system output reaches a substantial 306 horsepower. Power is delivered to all four wheels via an automatic transmission and a dual-motor 4WD system. One electric motor powers the front wheels, while a second electric motor drives the rear wheels, enabling true all-wheel-drive capability and the ability to operate in full electric mode. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes 7.9 seconds, and 0-60 mph is achieved in a calculated 7.5 seconds. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 170 km/h (105.63 mph). The weight-to-power ratio is 6.5 kg/Hp, and the weight-to-torque ratio is 9.8 kg/Nm.
Design & Features
The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander IV maintains the sleek and modern design language introduced with the fourth generation. It’s a five-door SUV/Crossover with seating for five passengers. The exterior features a bold front grille, sharp headlights, and a sculpted body profile. The interior is designed with practicality and comfort in mind, offering ample space for passengers and cargo. Key features include a modern infotainment system, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and a range of connectivity options. The plug-in hybrid components are cleverly integrated, with the battery pack positioned under the floor to minimize intrusion into the passenger and cargo areas. Trunk space ranges from a minimum of 495 liters (17.48 cu. ft.) to a maximum of 1404 liters (49.58 cu. ft.) with the rear seats folded down. Safety features are a priority, with the inclusion of ABS, and a comprehensive suite of ADAS technologies.
