Mitsubishi Outlander

"The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.2 DI-D in 4 specification is one of those rare family SUVs that manages to blend rugged dependability with a genuinely generous spec sheet. While its plug-in hybrid sibling tends to steal the limelight, this diesel variant remains the smart choice for those who value long-distance efficiency, towing capability, and off-road composure. With 3 careful owners and a full service history to its name, this particular example stands out as a well-looked-after, high-spec machine that's clearly been cherished. Power comes from Mitsubishi's tried-and-tested 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine, producing a healthy 147bhp and offering the kind of torque-rich delivery that suits everything from motorway cruising to hauling a trailer. It's mated to a smooth automatic gearbox and full-time four-wheel drive, making it a confident performer in poor weather or light off-road conditions. The ride is composed, the cabin quiet at speed, and there's a reassuring robustness to the way it drives, this is a car built with longevity in mind. Where the Outlander 4 spec really impresses is inside the cabin. Full leather upholstery, a sunroof, electric tailgate, heated seats front and rear, touchscreen infotainment with navigation, a reverse camera, and even cruise control, it's all here. Seven seats add true versatility, folding flat when not in use and offering plenty of space for passengers and luggage alike. It's not flashy, but there's an honesty to the Outlander's approach: capable, spacious, and well-equipped, it's a diesel SUV that still makes a strong case for itself in today's hybrid-heavy market."
