Hands on with 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander 3.0 V6 US Version

After firing up Japanese roads, Mitsubishi is ready to showcase its 2007 Outlander SUV North American model at the upcoming New York Auto Show. A 3.0 V6 MIVEC sits inside the US Outlander paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel paddle shifters allowing you to change gears manually without leaving the steering.

The new Outlander will be introduced in two drive formats: 'the electronically controlled 4WD system and a front-wheel drive version tailored to the North American market.'

To achieve impeccable balance the new Outlander is loaded with high-rigidity platform ensuring impact safety and an aluminum roof panel that lowers center of gravity.

Other features include a split flap-fold tailgate, a standard Bluetooth(R) hands-free cellular phone interface, advanced FAST-Key access system, and optional 650-watt Rockford Fosgate(R) audio system, DVD entertainment and hard-drive navigation system.
