Marking its 25th anniversary this year, Mitsubishi has introduced a special edition version of the Outlander in limited numbers for South Africa.
Differences
Simply called the Edition 25, the newcomer uses the top-spec Exceed trim level as a base, with 10 units confirmed for the local market.
Externally, the Edition receives model specific 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, a restyled Dynamic Shield grille, new front skidplate, black B and C-pillars, a new rear skidplate and blacked-out lens for the outer taillight clusters.

Additional standard items include:

An electric tailgate rounds the Edition 25’s spec sheet off, along with a 360-degree camera system.
Same up front
Up front, the normally aspirated Nissan-made 2.5-litre petrol continues to produce 135kW/245Nm. A CVT sends the amount of twist to all four wheels.
As before, six driving modes are fitted: Eco, Normal, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow and Mud. The claimed ground clearance is 210 mm.
Line-up refresh
Aside from the Edition 25, Mitsubishi has also revised the Outlander range by removing the GL which had been the entry-level derivative.
As such, the GLS now becomes the range opener.
Price
As before, all Outlanders are covered by a three-year/100 000 km warranty and a five-year/90 000 km service plan.
