Mitsubishi is a brand that, in general, , which confuses auto journalists, who respond . But in reality, Mitsubishi sales have in North America. And today Mitsu announced the fourth-generation Outlander, the first new Outlander in almost a decade.

The 2022 Outlander will appear in the second quarter of next year, Mitsubishi said in a release. This will be the long-awaited fourth-generation, slated to appear a little over nine years since the current generation. The third-generation Outlander was first introduced all the way back at Geneva in 2012, though it has been given a couple of facelifts since then.

Mitsu didn’t provide many details, but here’s what :

The all-new next generation Outlander will be bigger, bolder and better than ever before, and will be the quietest and best-equipped Mitsubishi ever sold in the U.S. Completely redesigned and reimagined in every way, the new Outlander will incorporate the latest Mitsubishi design language, with a bold, aggressive, and distinctive appearance. Loaded with technology and significant interior refinements, this game-changing vehicle will surprise many.

This is marketing language of course, so this could all be hogwash, but even so, that is some pretty big talk for a company that really hasn’t done a whole lot except the Eclipse Cross ever since the third-gen Outlander came out here.

Mitsubishi made the announcement amid a slew of other announcements. The 2021 Mirage, for example, gets a redesigned exterior and looks like this:

The Outlander Sport, meanwhile, will pretty much carry over into 2021, while the Eclipse Cross will look a little different in the front and rear as part of an effort to introduce a new design language, which is probably previewed by the new Mirage above.

A new Outlander plug-in electric hybrid, set to go on sale this fall, will get a new powertrain.

The updated internal combustion engine has increased displacement and greater horsepower, and the larger and more refined electric drive system offers more all-electric range and speed of operation.

No other details were released, but today’s announcements feel almost like a victory lap for Mitsu.
