One of the new cars to come out of this week's LA Autoshow is the Mitsubishi 2014 Outlander as well as the 2013 Outlander Sport Limited Edition.
The Mitsubishi 2014 Outlander's interior and exterior design is brand new and its engine has been restructured to reduce fuel consumption. Part of this eco-effort is achieved by a new contemporary face meant to reduce aerodynamic drag and thus increase fuel efficiency. Helping in this same area is the lightweight body (around 200 pounds less than the old Outlander models).
The inside is built for comfort and features ergonomically designed seats and instruments. Not all performance, the car's interior has also been improved with a touch-pad instrument panel and wood grain trim.
It's rumored that in the future the Outlander will be offered in a hybrid fuel system version.
