As a rule, when an automaker goes ahead and facelifts one of its vehicles, the previous version is expelled from the range. Apparently that's not the case with Mitsubishi and its Japanese domestic market Outlander. The company has just released two new variants of the compact crossover, one called Roadest that's based on the new model with the EVO snout featuring a sporty body kit, and the other on the pre-facelift model.
Both variants are fitted with a new entry-level 2.0-liter gasoline engine producing 148PS at 6,000 rpm and 20.1kgm of peak torque at 4,200 rpm.
The base Outlander 20E (pre-facelift body) is available with 2WD or AWD and is priced from 1,995,000 Yen, which comes to around US$21,800 or €15,100.
The Outlander Roadest 2.0 with the sporty aero parts, also offered with 2WD or AWD, starts from 2,475,900 Yen, or about US$27,100 / €18,800 at today's exchange rates.

Very nice looking and the proper mirrors to actually drive safely. I am always astounded as how we Americans are so vain as to not want such driving conveniences.
Because those mirrors don't have LED turn signals on them or because american cars don't come with mirrors?
Ghastly looking 3rd row seats with toilet lid head-rests.
"I am always astounded as how we Americans are so vain as to not want such driving conveniences."
By that measure, you might as well call the whole world vain for not having front-fender mirrors.
That's right, degrade yourself, or drag the whole world into your little puddle of self-pity over a fucking car mirror!
Looks very off-road-ish with that bodykit...
Bland piece of FWD-Biased garbage for moms to take their kids to school and wanna-be's that think they got a fast car just because it's big.
Then we see why truly sporty cars are being restricted due to global warming.
Back to topic, who would be idiot enough to buy the face-lifted model? You need to have brain damage to buy a normal SUV, but to pay $6k more for an Outlander with, basically, an EVO-copied bodykit?
road, roader, roadest?
I'm amazed that CarScoop even allowed the publishing of Anonymous #3 post. What's the point of having the site provide approval before a post, if it doesn't filter out the expletives?

So you're pro-censorship, huh?
