Mitsubishi has been selling cars in America for 40 years and has decided to celebrate the occasion. The automaker announced the Mitsubishi Outlander 2023 40th Anniversary Editionwhich gives one of the brand’s most popular models a fresh look.
The automaker will finish each example in an exclusive two-tone, black and bronze color scheme. Mitsubishi will also install 40th anniversary badges to indicate that it is a special edition.
Mitsubishi Outlander 2023 40th Anniversary Edition
Every Outlander 40th Anniversary Edition comes equipped with Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control four-wheel drive system. Customers can get the special edition SUV as the standard Outlander or a PHEV version.
Inside, Mitsubishi gives the special-edition Outlander the same black and brown door inserts found on the top-tier SEL Premium Package models. You also get the package’s black headlining and semi-aniline leather-trimmed seating surfaces. Other standard features include a panoramic moonroof, a 10.8-inch heads-up display, center console lighting, and a Bose sound system.
Mitsubishi gave the Outlander a radical redesign for the 2022 model year, which the model badly needed for the older model. It received a brutal new exterior design and a revamped cabin packed with modern technology. The gasoline version features a 181 Hp (135 kW) 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The PHEV combines a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors to generate 248 hp (184 kW), offering up to 38 miles of electric range.
Mitsubishi in the United States
Mitsubishi Motors North America President and CEO Mark Chaffin said the Anniversary Edition models celebrate the brand’s legacy and are “a powerful step forward toward our next 40 years of success in the US.” .
Mitsubishi began selling vehicles in the US under its own name in 1981. However, it had been selling them through the Chrysler Corporation as rebadged Dodge and Plymouth models prior to that date. The Japanese manufacturer established its headquarters in Fountain, California, and sold vehicles through just 70 initial dealers. This one would eventually move to Cypress, California, before packing up for Franklin, Tennessee, in 2019. Before moving to another country, Mitsubishi had sold nearly 5.5 million vehicles through nearly 330 dealerships.
The Outlander 40th Anniversary Edition starts at $41,340, while the Outlander PHEV variant costs $51,340 (prices include $1,345 destination charge).
