Mitsubishi Outlander gets Activ

MITSUBISHI has launched a limited-edition version of its Outlander compact SUV with a claimed $2000 of extra value at no additional cost.

Based on the LS variant, the Outlander Activ features sports roof rack cross-bars, a six-CD in-dash stacker, an alloy nudge bar and "Activ" decals, and comes with a $500 fuel voucher.

Mitsubishi says the extras, aimed at summer touring, total $2000 of additional value over the Outlander Activ's $32,490 pricetag.



Like the Outlander LS upon which it's based, the Activ features a 120kW/220Nm 2.4-litre SOHC four-cylinder with MIVEC variable valve timing, coupled to a four-speed automatic with manual-shift mode and full-time AWD.

Outlander LS and Activ also feature twin front airbags, power steering, power windows/mirrors, cruise control, air-conditioning and a four-speaker audio system. Side airbags remain optional at $500.
