BangShift.com Nissan and Mitsubishi Are Cash Strapped Teaming Up On New Model

(By Tom Lohnes) – For 2 firms in such a dire monetary state, Nissan is the one taking enormous dangers, with the sporty Z proto, rugged Frontier and Pathfinder, and outlandish Rogue. Nicely, apparently the Rouge was simply Outlandish sufficient to be rebodied and referred to as an Outlander, as a result of that’s precisely what the 2022 automobile is.

Actually mechanically the identical because the Nissan Rogue, the Outlander swaps it’s outdated, dependable 2.4-liter Inline-4 and 6-speed auto for a brand new 2.5-liter unit and Nissan’s ever-problematic CVT. Energy output is as much as 185, however torque is all the way down to 160.Personally, I might say the Mitsubishi appears much better than the Nissan, however that has been a controversial subject. Inside, the Outlander ditches the outdated boring inside with subpar materials high quality and a construct that’s at all times barely misaligned for a beautiful mixture of quilted leather-based, fake aluminum, and an infotainment system that appears miles forward of the outdated one.

Beginning at $32,500, the outdated Outlander was a deal, and I think the identical with this new one. Count on the up to date Outlander to start out round $35,000 and vary to round $45,000. Fairly whole lot if you happen to ask me. Simply be slightly cautious round that CVT.
