This is the first official photo of the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander. To be unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Int'l Motor Show

The Geneva show is in March. I'm hoping to get pictures of the interior from the show and maybe some info on price in the US market. Also, there's supposed to be a hybrid version of the vehicle.

 

I don't see a V6 version...or a turbo diesel version for North America, which means it wont be an option for me. Interesting that its being sold in Russia first...this summer:
2013 Mitsubishi Outlander revealed, will debut in Geneva

 

If you read the press release they only refer to the engines in the European version. I'm guessing the North American version will have the same 2.4L engine (with some upgrades) that they offer now. Unless they reduced weight significantly the 2.0L won't cut it here as the new Outlander is very close to the same size as the current model.

I know they said there will be a hybrid version and that one will probably have the 2.0L along with the electric motors.

 

it reminds me of a Subaru Tribeca.

 

I caught this same pic of the 2013 Outlander on the Automotive News website. I will reserve final judgement until I see the final U.S. spec Outlander in person, but I feel this design has lost some of the sporting looks of the current generation. Again, I will have to wait to see it, personally. I look forward to seeing interior pics and finding out whether or not this next generation will have the folding tailgate.

 

Wow, really glad I got the current shape Outlander, hard to believe given the progression from the old Outlanders to the current great shape that they have ended up with something so damn ugly for the next generation????

 

I wish they'd bring over a diesel!

 

Looks like a Ford Edge. Definitely not as eye-catching as the Evo-inspired nose the current Gen has. Hopefully they improved the rear -- anything is better than the same clear lenses it's had for years. Looks like Mitsu is trying to conform to the norm. Oh well, maybe blending in will improve sales. I'm just glad I went with a 2012!

 

I like, I just hope that tail lights are like the concept car, and Mitsubishi Mexico offers more equipment here, such as MMCS, HID lights, S-AWD. . .
