Mitsubishi Outlander (GF). 2012 to date (prod. n/a). 5-door SUV. F/F, F/A, 1998, 2359 cm³ (I4 OHC), 1998, 2360 cm³ petrol, 1998 cm³ petrol–electric hybrid, 2268 cm³ diesel (I4 DOHC), 2998 cm³ (V6 OHC). Second-generation Outlander gets dull with its styling, and dynamically it’s not much to write home about, either. Vague steering, poor refinement and plasticky interior add to its faults, though it is roomy with seating for seven with good equipment levels. Diesel unit frugal.
