Mitsubishi Motors will facelift the Outlander for the 2010 model year. The Outlander fast became the best selling SUV in Japan, back in 2005 but in the UK, the Outlander has been selling fairly well despite the MY07 & MY08 models released in the same year.
The dramatic revision to the front end shows a trapezoidal outline coming through the black vinyl cover. The shape is consistent with the new inverted slant-nose grille front fascia design that marks Mitsubishi's new design identity. Recent vehicles reflecting this design include the new Lancer as well as recently revealed concepts such as the Prototype-S and Concept-cX, both of which will go into production. Despite the dramatic changes up front, the test vehicles had no apparent changes to the rear. However, based on the large number of engineers present, we’re also expecting some engine updates as well.
