Update: 4/1/2010
The 2011 Mitsubishi ASX crossover made its appearance in the U.S. at the 2010 New York Auto Show as the new 2011 Outlander Sport crossover. The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport crossover will be available at Mitsubishi dealerships later this year, and will carry a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine instead of a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine found in the European model. The 2.0-liter engine gets an estimated fuel economy of 31 mpg highway, so we can safely assume that city driving will be around 23 mpg. And that is in the same fuel economy rating as the Ford Equinox, which is not bad at all. Option for an all-wheel-drive version will also be offered; unless it comes with a bigger engine, we don’t recommend it.
No pricing is available yet for this attractive 2011 Outlander Sports crossover, but what we have experienced in the past is that Mitsubishi’s pricing is very competitive. The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander is not alone in the 2011 sales, it will be up against top contenders like the Honda CR-V, Toyota Highlander, and the new 2011 Kia Sportage.
