Mitsubishi Outlander 2018 launched in India to compete with Toyota Fortuner

After over 6 years of expectation, the next-gen Mitsubishi Outlander has come to light in India, offering INR 31.54 lahk which is equivalent to roughly P2,480,000.

The Indian-spec Mitsubishi Outlander 2018 comes with a medley of premium features including a 710W amplifier, a woofer, 2 tweeters, 4-speaker audio system with Rockford Fosgate acoustic-styled design, 6.1-inch 2 DIN head unit, electric parking brake equipped with automatic hold, dual-zone auto climate control, electric sunroof, LED rear combination lights, LED front fog lights, and LED headlights with LED DRL.

Speaking of safety features, it seems the auto brand doesn’t want they don’t want an imbalance in general so that high-quality equipment are brought along too; HAS, ASC, ABS with EBD, and 7 airbags won’t give you a great sense of safety.
