Mitsubishi has launched its 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Diesel, which brings improved specification to align it with its plug-in hybrid sibling.

Improved specifications across all variants see the Mitsubishi Outlander Diesel aligned with the PHEV

Available in showrooms now, priced from £24,999, the updated model now features a new centre console and shark-fin antenna as standard on all variants as well as front footwell lamps, console box illumination, a 12V socket in the boot and rain and dusk sensors.

Changes to individual models include the addition of a new electronic parking on automatic versions of the mid-range Outlander 3 trim while the top-spec Outlander 4 trim also gains blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert and a 360-degree camera.

Across the range, the rear shock absorber has been altered with a new valve, enhancing the stability and comfort of the ride.

All variants feature a 2.2-litre diesel unit, in both automatic and manual transmission. Manual variants offer official CO2 emissions of 139g/km and 53.3mpg on the combined fuel economy cycle, with automatic versions rated at 154g/km and 48.7mpg.
