In September, at Frankfurt Motor Show, Mitsubishi will unveil the 2008 Outlander SUV. For the 2008 model, Mitsubishi will add two new engines. The first one is a 2.2 Di-D, Diesel common rail with a maximum power of 156 hp at 4000 rpm and a peak torque of 280 lbs-ft at 2000 rpm. Set to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2007 this new engine is mated with 6-speed manual gearbox and an All Wheel Control system. Also the current 2.0 Di-D Diesel pump-jet (140 PS  4,000 rpm and 310 Nm 1,750 rpm) “mid power” power plant will be available for the 2008 model. Further improvements for 2008 include: - New milled finish 18” alloy wheels (standard on Instyle) - Rain sensor and rear parking sensors (standard on Intense+ and Instyle) - Soft touch paint finish on dashboard - Rear view camera now available in combination with Mitsubishi Multi Communication System (Full-map touch screen Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Navigation with music server) The next engine, set to be launched in the same time with the first one will be a 2.4 l MIVEC, Petrol engine with a maximum power of 170 hp at 6000 rpm and a peak torque of 171 lbs-ft at 4100 rpm. The engine is mated with a 5-speed manual gearbox or stepped Sport Mode 6-speed CVT with optional paddle shift controls and 2-wheel drive or All Wheel Control system (according to markets).  European news, obviously, but this gives us a hint for US model.

will NOT have the same grill as the European version. The US version will get the 2.4l 4-cylinder engine jointly developed with Chrysler and Hyundai. http://autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070823/FREE/70822001/1024/FREE

Replying to: chelentano (Aug 28, 2007 8:43 pm) The only thing confirmed that will make it in the US Outlander is the new wheel design, now available in newer Outlander builds. I don't think much will change for the US Outlanders though.

Replying to: chelentano (Aug 29, 2007 9:52 am) The basic block design comes from Hyundai (who, in the past, got a lot of their engine technology from Mitsubishi), but each manufacturer tunes the engine on their own (i.e. different head design like MIVEC).

Replying to: dodo2 (Aug 29, 2007 6:23 pm) Unfortunately, it is very likely that the 4-banger will be mated to a CVT (same as in the Lancer). However, the availability of the 2.4l should add to the Outlanders' appeal (for the fuel economy minded, read CRV buyers  ) and increase sales further.
