People\'s Opinion
N/A / 5
Mitsubishi Outlander:

III (facelift 2015) Overview:
Mitsubishi Outlander (III (facelift 2015)). With 190 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1870 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 11 s). The top speed reaches 170 km/h. A sport utility vehicle offering higher ground clearance and versatile cargo space. A vehicle that combines characteristics of SUVs and hatchbacks for versatility. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
Performance Verdict
Smooth and quiet operation, especially in EV mode. The combined system power of 203 Hp offers decent acceleration, but it's optimized for efficiency rather than outright performance.
Fuel Economy
Exceptional official fuel economy figures (1.7 l/100 km), highly dependent on regular charging and short trips. Less efficient on long highway runs without battery charge.
Best Use Case:
Urban commuters with access to charging, eco-conscious buyers, those seeking low running costs for short to medium distances.
Pros and Cons:
