2010 Mitsubishi Outlander Roadest – click for high-res gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

Normally when an automaker updates a model, even if it’s just a quick cosmetic change, the earlier version is treated like cheek meat – nobody wants it unless it’s a real good deal, and the dealers just want them gone. Mitsubishi<\/a> evidently thinks its home-market will be kinder to the compact crossover-ute-thing we know and love as the Outlander<\/a>. <\/p>\n

While a new Evo-esque beak has been grafted onto our Outlander for 2010<\/a>, the softer, older version will continue to be offered to JDM buyers alongside a more cosmetically aggressive model. To avoid confusion, a country-specific rhinoplasty-enhanced model will be branded Outlander Roadest (note that the fascia and, grille and foglamps are all distinct from the U.S. model), while the older bodywork model will continue on as just plain “Outlander.” Regardless of the looks, both iterations will get a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine as standard, good for 148PS (about 146 horsepower). The offal-likeness is in play with pricing as well, with the new-old Outlander selling for just ¥1,995,000 (about $22,000) while the Roadest will command ¥2,475,900 ($27,100).<\/p>\n
