Outlander is the new black! Upgraded 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander taking the mid-size SUV fight to Hyundai Tucson, Nissan X-Trail and Toyota RAV4

After two years in the local market Mitsubishi has upgraded its already popular Outlander mid-size SUV with additional standard convenience features, updated safety tech and fresh colour options across the range.

At the same time, the success of the previously Outlander LS-based 'Black Edition' has led to its installation as a stand-alone model grade.

All Outlander grades will now feature auto 'dusk-sensing' headlights as well as an LED (rather than halogen) rear fog light, while a new rear seat alert function can be calibrated to remind an exiting driver (via a display message or sounding the horn) that the rear seat is still occupied.

Previously a variant based on the Outlander LS, the new Outlander Black Edition stands alone in the updated model range as a front-wheel drive, non-hybrid grade, distinguished, as the name implies, by black 20-inch alloy wheels, with the same shade applied to the grille, front and rear lower bumpers, door mirrors as well as the B- and C-pillar trims. Premium paint is standard.

Inside, the front pillar covers, headlining, gearshift surround as well as the synthetic suede and synthetic leather seat trim continue the blacked out theme.
