When buying new or 2nd hand, buyers need to make sure they know exactly which 2.2 diesel engine they are getting. The 2011MY range is available with two engines: a 175PS chain cam 2.3 Di-D M/T Mitsubishi unit on the GX3 M/T variant and a 154PS belt cam 2.2 Di-D SST PSA unit. The 2WD variant is be available with GX3 M/T trim only. The Mitsubishi 2.3Di-D is capable of an excellent 45mpg.
Criticism that very small back seats are also of flimsy construction and 'rock'. Locking problem as TSB in Recalls. More Feedback welcome.
Clutch and dual mass flywheel failures common when towing because 1st and 2nd gears are not low enough to take off without some slip.
On PSA 2.2 litre powered Outlanders, Eolys fluid reservoir bag for DPF regenerating is mounted close to and level with the rear wishbone where it is unprotected and extremely vulnerable to road debris and twigs and rocks while off roading.
23-09-2014:
Report of repeat cranksaft oil seal failures of 2009 Outlander 2.2 belt cam PSA engine contaminating the clutch.
26-09-2014:
Report of clutch failure of 2010 Citroen C-Crosser with DCS (Dual Clutch System) automatic transmission at 42,000 miles. Probably caused by the common crankshaft oil seal failure. Quoted £4,500 to repair, but Citroen offered 60% of parts cost. Dealer told reader that if the transmission itself failed the cost of repair would be a ludicrous £14,000, far more than the vehicle is worth.
15-02-2016:
Late report of 2010 Outlander SST (with PSA 2.2 angine and dual clutch box) recalled in November 2014 to remove silicone residue from contact points of shift lever. A few weeks previously the owner had paid £2,500 for a new clutch pack. He thought this had been unnecessary, but it was probably needed due to the common cranksaft oil seal failure.
15-07-2017:
Diesel 'knock' reported on start up of 63,000 miles 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander with "2.2 litre Movic engine"? (Not sure if this is the 2,179cc belt cam PSA diesel or the 4N14 2,268cc chain cam Mitsubishi diesel.)
26-09-2017:
Report of 2011/61 4N14 engined Mitsubishi Outlander losing power on the motorway. Thought to be a DPF filled up with ash. 4N14 is the chain cam 2,268cc Mitsubishi engine, not the PSA 2.2.
07-09-2019:
Complaint of cabin fumes in 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.2 (presumed PSA) coming in via vents when stationary and idling. Garage replaced manifold and EGR valve. Fumes still occurring. Possibly caused by too much ash in the DPF preventing exhast fumes freely exiting (see 26-9-2017 above).

January 2008
Production transferred to Holland
In order to keep up with the strong demand for Outlander in Europe and new Lancer worldwide, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation decided to transfer production of the Outlander (for European markets) to its regional production hub (Netherlands Car B.V. [NedCar], Born, the Netherlands) during 2008.
The company originally built Outlanders at its Nagoya Plant in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture and the new 4007 and C-Crosser SUVs for PSA Peugeot Citroën at its Mizushima Plant in Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture. As production of the Europe-market Outlander shifts from Nagoya to NedCar, production of the new SUVs supplied to PSA Peugeot Citroën will be transferred from Mitsubishi Motors' Mizushima Plant to its Nagoya Plant.
March 2008
SST transmission added
Mitsubishi’s twin-clutch Sports Shift Transmission (SST) offered in Outlander from Spring 2008. Benefits include: quick shifting versus normal manual transmissions, almost no power loss when shifting versus traditional automatic transmissions, lower fuel consumption and emissions versus automatics due to the inherent efficiency of the system’s gear changes. UK models came complete with paddle shifters, dual mode (Normal/Sport) and Hill Start Assist functions.
April 2010
Outlander facelifted
With similar front to Lancer and Colt. New features include a twin-clutch Sports Shift Transmission SST (also found on Lancer Evolution and Lancer Ralliart models).
The first derivative of the new range was a Special Edition variant, the “Juro” available at Mitsubishi dealers from 1 July 2007, the rest of the range from October 2007.
Facelifted Outlander featured the following product enhancements:
New Exterior Appearance Features:
- Distinctive ‘Jet-Fighter’ grille gives Outlander the family face of Mitsubishi – in line with Lancer Evolution, Lancer and Colt
- New front skid plate
- New side sill garnish – black material with chrome accent
- New colour keyed door mirror with side turn lamp
- New chrome bezels for front fog lamps
The interior passenger environment is dramatically enhanced with the introduction of faux leather and contrasting stitching on the dashboard and door panels. Furthermore, a new high contrast colour LCD instrument meter display gives a higher quality feel than the current display.
The SST ‘auto’ transmission (except Equippe) uses two clutches, one to engage the gear in use the other to pre-select the next gear required, which ensures that the gear change takes place instantaneously. This innovative technology saves on CO 2 emissions and massively reduces power loss through the range. With no torque converter, this 6-speed TC-SST gearbox is more efficient than a normal automatic.
Hill start assist automatically holds the brakes for about 2 seconds to prevent the vehicle from slipping backwards on steep slopes.
Electric Time and Alarm Control System (ETACS) controls the functionality of all electronic devices on board
The ESS system automatically detects severe braking to engage the hazard warning lights and also increase braking efficiency. This is just one of the innovative technologies incorporated into the Outlander range to give it its Euro NCAP
Juro Specification:
Based on Warrior specification (without front resin guard and chrome items) the Juro offers a comprehensive specification including:
- 2.2 diesel engine
- Choice of manual or SST auto transmissions
- Leather seats as standard
