GSR is a nameplate synonymous with sporty Mitsubishis and now for the 2021 mannequin 12 months, it’s been caught on the again of an Outlander PHEV, proper because the current-generation household hauler enters what is going to seemingly be its final 12 months available on the market.
On this occasion, the GSR badge denotes the addition of inverted Bilstein suspension struts and beefier dampers, complemented all-round by stiffer springs and a few darkened styling cues pinched from the now-defunct Outlander Black Version.
Inside there are some sportier entrance seats upholstered in a mixture of microsuede and artificial leather-based, complemented by purple stitching all through and a black headliner.
The purpose of the GSR in line with Mitsubishi Motors Australia Restricted (MMAL) is to broaden the Outlander PHEV’s enchantment by providing a variant aimed particularly at those that need “one thing a bit sportier to drive than your typical SUV”.
To search out out if the model has succeeded in making a sportier SUV, we spent a while placing the GSR via its paces each on the town and on the open street the place it’s meant to rise above the remainder of the Outlander vary.
