The new king of the sengment

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Exterior </strong>The styling of the car is truly commendable and I can challenge any car in this sengment, if it can even match up to the agressiveness of the front of this car. The front is truly awesome inspired by the EVOLUTION-X.. the roof rails add to the overall stance of the car. however I feel the alloys could have been much more better.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort) </strong>The car can be used as almost everything from a picnic car to a heavily loaded truck. it does all for you. you can electrically fold the rear seats and put a matress inside and your mobile bedroom is ready. talking about features i think it offers much more features than fortuner, endevour and name watever you feel like, it has adaptive front lighting system, keyless entry system, best music system which is truly awesome by rockford, seat heaters and 3 sockets points to make you feel at home. the quality of interiors ooze out with luxury and the simple but impressive design of the interiors is the icing on the cake. leg space is no problem at all even if two six footers are sitting one behind the other. AC works liks achilling machine the car is equiped with climate control feature which maintains the desired temperature.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox </strong>Ii have the outlander 2010 with the jet fighter grill. i would say that the car's pick up is a little disappointment because of its cvt gearbox because what happens is that when u are cruising the automatic transmission goes in bigger gears and when u press the pedal the gear does not shift down quickly which brings a little delay in the power. Also in 6th gear the car has no pick up it seems as if that gear is made just to maintain a constant speed. however if you shift to pedal shifts the car matches with the agressiveness of its grill..the car just flies in that manual mode. the shifting is too smooth making u feel like as if you are flying thanks to the cvt gearbox here. talking about the fuel economy, it really depends on the way you drive. You can get 6 kmpl or even 13.6 kmpl but with standard driving style it gives around 9kmpl including all road conditions. the car is also equiped with 4wd system which is actually a great help on indian road conditions. you can select different modes, for economical drive put in 2wd but anywhere after the speed of 120 km plz do switch to 4wd as it adds to the stability and the braking of the car. the car feels completly different in 4wd you must try it.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling </strong>Well handling is superb even at high speed because they have compromised on the suspension to get that. the car feels flawless on smooth roads but take it off road and you see the suspension is quite hard making a lot of cabin noise but that is it ...you really dont feel jerks inside....so 4 stars to it but mitsubishi compromise there is also not accepted because i know you can do it and&nbsp; cedia is a perfect example for the suspension.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Final Words </strong>You must own one.. better than fortuner, crv and all... moreover it stands out frm the crowd due to its extra ordinary grill and lighting.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement </strong>Just the suspension and the gearbox or else it is perfect.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>music system, lights, front grill and everythingPick up and hard suspension
