Qatar Automobiles Company on Salwa Road offer very competitive prices and will be pleased to arrange a test drive of the new Mitsubishi Outlander SUV or any of its SUVs and cars for Marhaba readers. Call 4422 7555 Mitsubishi has been building tough cars and SUVs for over a century and the brand and agency QAC are well liked and respected in Qatar. The market is always evolving and nowadays more and more people want small SUVs and crossovers as their family vehicle, which is where Mitsubishi excels. The all-new Outlander is a fantastic family SUV and even has three seat rows. It's great to look at and the same applies when you are inside. The quality is obvious both for the exterior and the interior – just look at the elegant diamond stitching and feel the interior trim! I feel I'd be proud to own one. The new Outlander drives with a youthful agility and composure; it's enjoyable with the light, nicely weighted steering and a sense of stability and balance. The driving position puts you in command; everything outside is in view and everything inside is to hand. I loved the head-up display (HUD) and the paddle shifters on the steering wheel and you have two large screens, the one directly in front of you focussed on driving data and the one in the centre more on infotainment. The new, more spacious Outlander is practical and flexible – best in class, in fact – in terms both of seating space and cargo-carrying capability. It's thoroughly modern as regards connectivity with its user-friendly infotainment system and its respectable fuel economy. The new Outlander appeals to an aspirational audience; it's right in the middle of the booming market segment for compact SUVs and has better specifications than other big automotive names. It also brings Mitsubishi's reputation for durability and economy; I was certainly reassured by the feeling of well-made quality and being well-planted safely and securely on the road. Mitsubishi with the all-new Outlander has made a strong commitment to the future with a sharp focus on providing excellent quality and value for money. It's pleasant to drive, has a top quality finish, has a luxury-esque interior, great (and great sounding) audio system, a wealth of safety features and a large cargo area and/or seven seats. It's a good compact SUV no matter which way you look at it: practicality, pleasure, prestige even!
