The Three Diamond , like the Mitsubishi , has been offered to the all-American market since 1981, rather than cross-marketed with the Chrysler logo.

Even the anniversary of the work since 2021, the past 40 years, but only to celebrate in 2023, although it is too late, it is not too late to celebrate the release of a special edition is the Mitsubishi Outlander 40th Anniversary Edition. Special in that the car’s black body is diamond black contrasting with the car’s golden bronze roof. Add another level of intensity with the dark black Dynamic Shield front grille and 40 Years C-pillar door frame emblem,

With the base of the SEL Premium style added to add even more volume.

The Outlander’s standard engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that makes 181 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. It mates exclusively with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Front-wheel drive is the standard configuration, but all-wheel drive is optional. Although the Outlander’s acceleration times are competitive with other compact crossovers (with the exception of fast cars like the turbocharged CX-5 and Kia Sportage),

It feels less responsive and slacker at highway speeds, which is exacerbated by the gearless CVT. Otherwise, the Outlander drives with agility and composure. Its steering is well weighted, its body motions are controlled, and its ride is taut. We noticed a lack of isolation that allowed much road noise to enter the cabin on all but the smoothest roads,

And our test car’s large 20-inch wheels with limited lateral cushioning didn’t help the situation.

 The Outlander we drove also had a soft-touch brake pedal,

But the stoppers took the SUV from 70 mph to 172 ft. The plug-in hybrid model is more powerful and we appreciate that it will offer slightly faster acceleration. The 2.4-liter four-cylinder is backed by a pair of electric motors making 248 horsepower and on our first test drive, we noticed that the Outlander PHEV felt a bit more nimble, especially in urban driving.
