Why didn't the Outlander "outland" the other SUVs?

[nugundam93]

If only MMPC sold here yung Outlander MIVEC at Turbo eh sana angat na ang image nyan eh wala nag concentrate nalang sila sa lumang 2.4 liter Outlander na ngayon mayroon pa sa dealers.Buwisit nagpatalo sa X-Trail...

so true. sana dinala nila yung turbo variant.

[ian_rex]

perhaps, its because of its outlandish looks?

[AG4]

Didn't the older Outlander look like a minivan?

It depends, I don't think it looks like a minivan...
Previous Outlander(aka the Airtrek Sport Gear in Japan)


Its better looking(more car-like) twin the JDM Airtrek

[Camgen6]

pati ata yung new Outlander nag top sa japan...

Nabasa ko nga sa car magazine na ang 2nd gen Outlander is outselling the RAV4 and CRV sa Japan.

Intentional ata ang pagiging 'minimalist' ng interior ng Outlander.

Naalala ko dati sa isang publication intention ng Mitsubishi talaga ang "zen-like, minimalist, modernist" interior kaya ganun ang itsura ng dash nun... i actually liked it... MAHAL nga lang talaga sya...

[OTEP]

Halos wala kang incentives na makukuha sa Outlander dati. Yung mga X-trail at CR-V kabi-kabila ang promo at freebies...

ayun, di nga lang umubra yung design dahil sa price. hmmm.. makes me think, would it have fared better if it had a 'T' badge upfront?

Poor promotions and marketing affected the sales of this car.

[duramax_994]

each and every model in the mitsubishi line up have been trailing behind other brands. for the past few years, wala yatang mitsu car na nag top sa sales.

also, yung mga dealers ng mitsu, hindi aggressive sa marketing, may problema din sa after sales service.

One main reason is the management itself in Mitsubishi and involve key figures up to the highest bosses of the company. In recent years, it has been rocked with scandals on corruption, lemon products, and the non disclosure to the public regarding 'hidden defects' of their product. Several top officials and even some former CEO's have been charged in court. Now, we know why MMPI sucks!

Para sakin... maganda ang Outlander at ok din naman ang interior nya.

wow ganda po a! mitsu montero junior!!

[basti08]

i think maganda ang 1st gen Outlander...dito samen meron naka Outlander na pormado... lowered and pimped to look like a sportscar...very sporty ang design kase pag ni-lowered pala ito, it would look like a sports hatch. maganda talaga... pati yung Air Trek looks like a Lexus with the quad lamps...

sayang talaga... mahirap sa Mitsubishi, what they lack in charisma...they didnt make up for features, incentives, promos nor innovation for our market.

[acacia00]

I think the outlander was poorly marketed.

Even now, when my company held a "car fair" for the different dealers, the people from mitsu brought brochures for the lancer, galant, pajero & montero. They seem to not want to take a chance...

[cardo]

I think mitsu has also been troubled financially, it has not experienced a profit(as a whole) for the lats few years. hmmm... maybe the cost cutting, layouts, selling(of ownership) has had a major impact.

But, I like their grandis and their new upcoming pickup

[jetski]

i've had 2 mits...parehong la kwenta driving experience...daling masira ng shocks...suspension pangit... saka yung mga anik anik sa loob...pinapasok ng tubig yung doors...saka yung ilalim ng bumpers nila..yung cover sa ilalim ng mga mits na nakikita ko lumuluwa lagi yung harapan...!

i've had 2 hondas too...didn't have same problem...so it couldn't have been with my driving...or is it?hehehe...

[oldblue]

ang ok lang sa mitsu lalo na yun mga luma models, kahit san puwede mo ipagawa. pero kung bibili ng bago, I'd think twice on buying a Mitsu car.

They should've shown the Outlander Ad locally (it might not have helped sales, but the techno music was cool):

[niky]

Maybe this is a late response, but maybe the Outlander's sales were poor because it was, well, Outlandish?

But seriously, the Outlander's story is just like the Lancer's. It's a competent vehicle in a very crowded segment, and it doesn't come out on top in any category of comparison, well, at least not to buyers put off by the name tag or the nose.

Mitsubishi really should have brought in the turbo as a halo vehicle for the range, and considered selling down-specced 2.0 manual models to boost their demographic target and budget range.
