LOOKS GOOD, doesn’t it? Or perhaps it doesn’t? It appears the styling of the new Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed Tourer is divisive – comments during our time with it split between great and ghastly.

Regardless, the new Outlander is an extremely important car for Mitsubishi, pretty consistently accounting for around one in five sales for the brand in Australia. It shares a platform with the forthcoming Nissan X-Trail as well as the successor to the Renault Koleos, its new body structure increasing rigidity while reducing weight thanks to an aluminium bonnet and plastic front guards.

A larger car in every direction, the new Outlander’s dimensions help its aesthetics. Overall length increases by 15mm but the wheelbase has been extended by 36mm, shrinking the massive overhangs of its predecessor. Likewise, it’s grown more in width (51mm) than height (38mm), making for a squatter stance.
