The revised Mitsubishi Outlander Diesel is now available in showrooms across the UK, offering several new features that align it with the 2017 PHEV version.

A new centre console and shark-fin antenna appear on all variants as standard as well as front footwell lamps, console box illumination, a 12V socket in the boot and rain and dusk sensors.

The rear shock absorber has been altered with a new valve, enhancing the stability and comfort of the ride. Outlander 4 in particular has additional safety features, including blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert and a 360 degree camera. This variant also welcomes an electronic parking brake and auto hold button on automatic versions, offering a more compact and sleek interior design, in line with the leather upholstery.

All variants have a 2.2-litre diesel unit, offered with either automatic and manual transmission. The manual version has a six-speed gearbox, which delivers a top speed of 124mph, while the automatic variants reach 118mph. The on-demand 4WD system improves stability, traction, fuel economy and emissions. Manual variants produce CO2 emissions of just 139g/km and are capable of 53.3 mpg on the combined fuel economy cycle. Automatic versions produce 154 g/km and return 48.7 mpg.
