The 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander RX is butch and ready to pounce

Mitsubishi launched a limited edition Outlander RX last year same time in Australia based on the outgoing Outlander. Today Mitsubishi has introduced the RX edition based on the current generation Outlander.

Styling features include redesigned front bumper and fog lights, 18-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels and unique side and rear air dams. Door handles are painted silver, chrome exhaust tip and privacy glass finish the exterior modifications list.

Inside the Outlander RX you get leather and sports mesh seat trim, silver painted floor console panels and chrome interior door handles. Bluetooth connectivity and 'smart key' keyless operation are part of the package.

The Outlander RX is powered by the same 2.4L MIVEC engine, coupled with a CVT automatic transmission. Mitsubishi’s All Wheel Control 4wd System, Dual SRS airbags, ABS Brakes with EBD, Active Stability Control, Active Traction Control and Hill Start Control are all standard on the new Outlander RX.

Mitsubishi have just launched the Evo-nosed Outlander in India so this might not be on the Indian operation's list of things to do at the moment. Maybe a few months down the line when the BMW X1 and new Chevrolet Captiva is out, this could fit the bill.
