Mitsubishi celebrates Outlander’s 25th by pricing limited Edition 25

Marking its 25^th 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.

Rounding the unique additions off are Edition 25 treadplates.

Standard specification consists of a dual 12.3-inch infotainment system and instrument cluster, auto on/off LED headlights, rain sense wipers and a wireless smartphone charger.

Additional standard items include:

• keyless entry;

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.
