2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport review
"The new Outlander Sport 2011 is a reflection of what happens when Mitsubishi Motors is focusing its engineering resources and design in the task of developing a fun, expressive, affordable, but the most ecological car," said Shinichi Kurihara, president and MMNA CEO.
Athletic Style
His tight, muscular sheets, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is a breed apart visually from the rest of its competition in the compact crossover.
When the front end inspired by jet fighter air intakes that decorated the company legendary high-performance sports saloon - the Lancer Evolution - Mitsubishi Outlander Sport will bring a touch of pepper, more to the otherwise very poor segment of the event. But the sculpted body is not just a cosmetic use - its smooth lines and flowing, long-beltline and rear spoiler combine to give this new model and elegant one of the lowest coefficients of drag of a car of its class.
Reconfiguration of the 2.0-liter engine
For this application, crossover, the company tried and true 4B11 engine with aluminum block and cylinder head, innovative MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing electronic) variable valve timing and configuration normally aspirated accompanied by new features, including pistons resin-coated and camshaft in a smoother surface to reduce friction and fuel economy. A more efficient alternator and power steering lot to this cause.
Mitsubishi Outlander sport, this enhanced version of the 4B11 produces 148 hp @ 6000 rpm and 143 pound-feet of torque complete at low revs the 4200 a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder in-line configuration. In addition, most of the torque is produced through a wide range of power around 2200 rpm all the way to just below the red line at 6,500 rpm.
More fuel Sportronic CVT or 5-speed manual
Available in the Mitsubishi Outlander ES Sport and standard on the SE model, the Sportronic ® continuously variable transmission (CVT) design features improvements not only help improve fuel economy and reduce emissions of previous iterations of this innovative transmission technology Mitsubishi, but also to make the driver feel by moving manually via magnesium paddles mounted behind the steering wheel.
In normal driving on flat roads, the CVT has changed his schedule is established to provide a good balance between fuel economy and dynamic performance. But if a driver encounters a road that begs to be driven with more zeal, the CVT shifts to a more aggressive manual sport mode that mimics a 6-speed transmission and improves the responsiveness of pulley hydraulic unit.
The standard transmission in the Mitsubishi Outlander ES Sport Mitsubishi gearbox smooth shifting 5-speed manual has been updated for this compact crossover vehicle. Change believed to have been improved with the addition of two marches triple synchronizers in first and second gear ratios and final start was modified for better performance and fuel economy.
Electronically controlled 4WD for optimal treatment and adherence
Borrowed from the Outlander a medium-sized, lightweight, electronically controlled 4WD system is optional on the Outlander Sport SE, and has seen a further improvement in the design of the facilities of his cousin less than the crossover. The system of power transfer unit (PTU) to use a low viscosity oil to reduce parasite drag and promote fuel economy improvements, but the torque distribution of the calibration is improved for all road surface conditions (snow , sand, ice), leading to greater stability.
Chassis: A cup for the best
With a total length of 169.1 inches vs. 183.7 inches Outlander, the new Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is more than a foot shorter than their siblings closer in width (69.7 inches versus 70, 9 inches) and height ( 64.2 inches to 66.1 inches in front), respectively, while sharing an identical wheelbase of 105.1 inches Mitsubishi Outlander ES 2WD A Sport with CVT tipped the scales weighing in at £ 3098 - just over 100 pounds heavier than CVT-equipped sedan Lancer GTS.
Both Sport and Outlander Outlander share the same suspension tuning - a set MacPherson front with a rear multi-link rear - but the new Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has received some design changes that provide an optimum driving comfort and stability sufficient to support better sport compact.
Living Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is a unique mirror from the Outlander only - only parts to be transferred to the new crossover.
Major revisions in the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport chassis are members of the Cross for the support of the new electric power steering and redesigned rear half of the platform (floor) to accommodate a new exhaust system more streamlined and made of high resistance for increased structural rigidity while reducing weight.Safety: Technology gives Piece of Mind
Taking advantage of the tremendous amount of research and development carried out on behalf of the original security Outlander, Outlander sport uses a lot of technical thinking, not only to minimize damage to all occupants of the car (Mitsubishi Outlander sport has received ratings 5-Star frontal and side impact of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), but also for pedestrians too.
A breakthrough in the cabin of the security system that consists of a front air bag supplemental restraint (SRS) for driver and front passenger, includes side air bags and air curtains, a knee air bag sensors driver, the driver's seat position and passenger weight, active front headrests and seatbelts for three points in the five seats (front safety belts) are included at no charge.
Function security is the driving dynamic braking system that would ignore both the accelerator and brake pedal is engaged at the same time, the vehicle decelerates to stop.
Pedestrian protection technologies include a newly designed energy-absorbing front bumper to reduce injury to the leg, the front fenders plastic twist cap and bend the light again.
Ride, comfort and
Whether it is a fast drive to the grocery store or a long journey between states, the occupants of the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is treated to a refined driving in comfort and a host of welcome features - all made more impressive when Considering this beautiful and capable of crossing low MSRP.
The open road, the suspension system provides a satisfactory strong character around that feels that the high U.S. dollar luxury sedan when the electric power steering communicates with excellent feedback from the road. Fabric covered seats are comfortable for everyone - especially the front seats, because they have a torso and thigh support well - when there is plenty of room for adjustment, even longer (6 feet), set.
Residents of the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is also treated to a leisurely stroll through the spray on soundproofing material on the floor and on top of the hood, sound-absorbing material in the pavilion and the addition of tire noise.
Air conditioning and pollen filter, steering wheel cruise control steering controls, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, electric windows, central locking, remote keyless entry and 140-watt AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system with steering wheel controls and four speakers, processor digital signal, control balance and speed compensated volume and blend with Hands Free Link, USB input jack are just some of the standard offer comfort. Among the updates are available to start the engine of luxury at a distance, the Super High-Intensity Discharge (HID-S), the voice path to a bright light is wider than the Lexus LS, in-dash 6-disc CD/MP3 changer compatibility, a panoramic glass roof with adjustable LED lighting, outdoor sports trim package, Piano Black center console and move the front panel, 40GB HDD navigation system with music server and real-time traffic and booming 710-watt Rockford Fosgate ®- audio system with nine speakers, including 10 - inch subwoofer with dual-Punch
