Mitsubishi Motors is one of the least active brand in the market. The reason for this has to be its not so strong line-up. Now if we talk about SUVs, Mitsubishi has just one offering, the Mitsubishi Outlander, which is not a volumes puller at all and manages to clock some sales every month. For a while now the 2012 Outlander was expected to be launched but the company was reluctant on disclosing any further details.
Today Mitsubishi Motors has silently launched the 2012 Outlander 7-seater model in Delhi. What makes the car more interesting than its predecessor is the fact that firstly it is a 7 seater model, unlike its 5 seater predecessor, and secondly it is Rs.30,000 cheaper than the same.
