Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) will reshape the image of a sporty crossover SUV at the 2006 New York International Auto Show with the introduction of the all-new 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander. Featuring a passionate design, the 2007 Outlander will deliver an engaging driving experience and innovative features.

The 2007 Outlander joins an invigorated lineup of Mitsubishi vehicles designed to exude the "thrill" of driving, including the recently launched all-new 2007 Eclipse Spyder convertible and the new 2007 Galant Ralliart sports sedan. The Mitsubishi Concept-X, a head turning design study introduced at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, will make its first public appearance in the United States at the Javits Center. Also on display is the Mitsubishi Concept-CT MIEV, a groundbreaking concept for a hybrid-powered small car, first unveiled at the 2006 North American International Auto Show.

The all-new 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander is on the leading edge of versatility, technology, and value in the crossover SUV segment. The 2007 Outlander debuts the all-new 3.0L V6 MIVEC engine and features a standard six-speed Sportronic(R) automatic transmission with one-touch manual shifting and adaptive electronics. The Outlander XLS adds rally inspired Sportronic steering wheel paddle shifters for shifting control at the driver's fingertips. All Wheel Control (AWC), an advanced version of all-wheel drive is available. An innovative two-piece flap-fold rear tailgate makes cargo loading easy, and an in-floor stowable third-row seat adds to the XLS model's versatility. Technology is one of the hallmarks of the new Outlander, including a standard Bluetooth(R) hands-free cellular phone interface, advanced FAST-Key access system, and optional 650-watt Rockford Fosgate(R) audio system and DVD entertainment. A new hard-drive navigation system option will be state of the art.
