Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) has announced the
arrival of a two-wheel drive Outlander as part of its 2011 product line-up. The new variant, dubbed the Outlander
LS 2WD, is the star attraction of the popular vehicle’s 2011 model year update, which introduces a number of
improvements across the range.
All models in the 2011 Outlander line-up, including the traditional all-wheel drive variants, will receive, a
new power window safety system including driver auto up/down function, and an enhanced brake assist system. In
addition, a full size spare tyre will now be standard on all five-seat Outlander variants and updated alloy
wheels will be available on XLS, VR and VRX variants.
Masahiko Takahashi, Mitsubishi’s President and CEO, said the new two-wheel drive Outlander LS is a significant
model which will increase the breadth of the company’s model range and appeal to a whole new audience.
“Outlander is a tried and trusted brand in the marketplace, and has been praised for its styling,
flexibility and technical features.”
“However, within this segment there is fast growing demand for two-wheel drive variants, which have a lower
entry price. Releasing an economical two-wheel drive variant ensures Outlander will appeal to a much wider range
of wagon buyers,” Takahashi said.
The new two-wheel drive Mitsubishi Outlander LS will share the majority of technical and feature specifications
of the all-wheel drive variants and will be powered by the company’s economical 2.4-litre DOHC 16-valve MPI MIVEC
engine, which generates 125 kW of power @ 6,000 rpm and 226 Nm of torque @ 4,100 rpm. The 2.4-litre engine is
matched to a five-speed manual transmission or an optional continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) with
Sports Mode sequential style shift changes and INVECS Smart Logic.
The 2011 Outlander range continues to offer a second engine on some variants, the V6 3.0-litre SOHC 24 valve
MPI MIVEC engine which generates 169 KW of power @ 6,250 rpm and 291 Nm of torque @ 3,750 rpm. The 3.0-litre V6
engine is matched to a six-speed automatic transmission with Sports Mode sequential style shift change and INVECS
Smart Logic.
The 2011 model year Outlander offers a comprehensive line-up of variants, with the 2.4-litre version available
in three specification levels, the LS 2WD and 4WD (manual or CVT), XLS and the XLS Luxury option (these last two
with CVT only). The 3.0-litre V6 version offers two specification levels, the VR and the VRX (V6 versions with
six-speed automatic transmission only). All variants carry over relevant braking and suspension technology from
the previous model.
Safety is a focus of the 2011 model year Outlander, with all models featuring driver and front passenger dual
stage SRS airbags, active stability control, ABS with EBD and RISE body protection and three-point ELR seatbelts.
Side and curtain airbags are now standard on all four-wheel drive models and optional on the LS 2WD variant.
Entry level LS (2.4-litre engine) two- and four-wheel drive variants come with all the standard appointments
carried over from the previous model, including air-conditioning (automatic in four-wheel drive variants),
upgraded electric window systems, remote-control locking, steering wheel mounted audio and cruise controls,
two-speed variable and intermittent wipers and USB port.

range VRX variant includes the premium appointments of the XLS Luxury model - unique 18-inch alloy wheels,

Mitsubishi provides its industry leading warranty on all Outlander vehicles, including a comprehensive five
year/130,000 km whole vehicle warranty, backed up by its 10 year/160,000 km powertrain warranty and a five
year/130,000 kilometre roadside assistance package.
Launching the new Outlander, Masahiko Takahashi said he couldn’t imagine a vehicle that was better placed
to meet the demands of today’s lifestyle oriented consumers.
“Our customers need a car that can keep up with them and meet all their needs and the 2011 Outlander
does just that. It’s a value packed vehicle designed to delight,” said Takahashi.
