The new interior design and new technologically-advanced features include Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), the sharply-styled all-new 2014 Outlander elevates the level of efficiency, safety, comfort and convenience in the value-oriented compact SUV segment.

Joining its new larger sibling at the LA Auto Show is the 2013 Outlander Sport Limited Edition that commemorates Mitsubishi Motors’ arrival in North America 30 years ago. As a compact crossover, the new Mitsubishi has a unique look: blackout side mirrors, center bumper, wheel arch trim and roof rails, along with dark-chrome alloy wheels and “Limited Edition” badging.

A new engine balancer shaft provides quicker and smoother acceleration for increased performance feel to match the model’s muscular new looks while maintaining 31 mpg on the highway.

Additional features include: a new 6-way adjustable power driver seat, aluminum brake and accelerator pedals, leather parking brake lever and available special two-tone Dove Grey and Black leather seating surfaces.
