Since we’re edging closer to the New York Auto Show, Mitsubishi released a pair of (better) teasers for its facelifted 2016 Outlander.
With a little help from Photoshop, we lightened up the pictures to reveal the cosmetic changes on the Japanese SUV, which to some extent, are inspired by those previewed on the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Concept-S at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
These include a redesigned fascia with new headlamps, grille, bumper and plenty of decorative chrome-like trim, along with a fresh set of elongated tail lamps and a new bumper styling with similar trimming at the back, plus new alloy wheel designs.
Apparently, the facelift for the North American model is identical to the Japanese-spec version, examples of which were recently discovered without any camo at a port (see them here).
According to Mitsubishi, the 2016 version of the Outlander features “over 100 engineering and design improvements including a new, powerful and dynamic appearance, enhanced road performance as the result of improvements to noise levels, ride, handling and throttle response, and a more eloquent yet functional interior space.”
