After we have seen the Outlander GT prototype, Mitsubishi finally revealed the official details on the 2010 SUV, set to be offered in GT and SE version. Sales will begin at a price of $20,840.
For the 2010 Outlander, Mitsubishi took the frontal lines used in the 2010 Lancer and Colt and create a new and improved model. Company say that the 2010 model is also offering the best safety technologies.
Under the hood there is a new fuel-efficient MIVEC V6 engine with Idle Neutral Logic that delivers 230 hp. The Idle Neutral Logis system ups the mileage of the 2010 Outlander by automatically engaging the transmission in neutral when the vehicle is at idle, saving you gas while you are waiting for the green light. MIVEC controls both intake and exhaust valve timing to optimize the engine air and fuel mixture.
Also new for the 2010 Outlander is the gearbox: the TC-SST (Twin Clutch - Sport Shift Transmission) that was available only on the Lancer Evolution X.
The SUV comes standard with: Anti-lock braking system (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Active Stability Control (ASC), aluminum panel roof, super all-wheel control (S-AWC) and six airbags.

Mitsubishi showed off a more aggressive crossover model back in New York earlier this year, however the EVO faced
Outlander GT Prototype still manages to impress here in Miami. There is something about the squinting headlights ability to stare you down just like the 300 HP turbocharged all wheel drive
Lancer Evolution X can despite the 230 HP V6 that makes this slightly larger CUV quite an attractive option for a commuter vehicle.

Small SUVs play an interesting role. They must be able to hold at least five people, fit in tight parking spaces, carry a Home Depot haul, and sometimes even go off-road. Yes, most people usually forget about that last one when buying an urban SUV.
So we decided that we would reintroduce the idea of an SUV made for the off-road with our 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander SE AWD tester. We made sure it was a 4x4 so we could follow the road less traveled… at least that’s what we planned. While the Outlander was in our fleet, we went looking for the hills and the mud, but that just usually made us late for soccer practice. So we were a little disappointed that our SUV fell into the usual suburban trap, but we still made it out alive…

Mitsubishi’s Outlander is already based on the Lancer sedan, and now Mitsubishi has gone one step further to make an Outlander that looks like an Evo X.
The Outlander GT Prototype made its at the New York Auto Show. The transformation into an Evo tall wagon includes the Evo’s "jet fighter" grille as well as reshaped front bumper, side mirrors, fenders and hood. To help keep it on the road, the Outlander GT will also use the Evo’s Super-All-Wheel-Control System.
Where the comparison the the Evo ends is the engine. The Evo X has a 2.0-liter four cylinder with a huge turbo that makes 291 hp. The Outlander GT features the 3.0-liter V6 already in use in the Outlander XLS. In the GT it has 10 more hp for a total of 230, which is more in line with the Lancer Ralliart.
Press release after the jump.

Mitsubishi wants to give it’s Outlander mini-SUV some street cred and is going to debuit what will likely look a Evo X wagon on steroids. The Outlander GT Prototype will make its debut later this week at the New York Auto Show. Mitsu says the styling will iclude plenty of elements from the Evo including the “Jet-Fighter” grille and Super-All-Wheel-Control System.
Unlike the Evo, the Outlander GT will not get a 291 hp four cylinder engine turborcharged within an inch of its life. Instead the GT is going for more fuel efficient diggs. It will get a version of the 3.0-liter SOHC MIVEC V6 already in use on the Outlander, but this one will have added gas saving technology.
