New York Auto Show: The New Face of the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander: Comments

Despite Mitsubishi selling the current Outlander crossover for almost a year, the company has decided that it was time to do a refresh on it. Next week at the 2015 New York Auto Show, the company will show off the Outlander's new face.

From the teaser shots released by Mitsubishi, the 2016 Outlander looks to be taking some ideas from the Outlander PHEV Concept-S plug-in hybrid shown in Paris last year. There is a trapezoidal grille outline with two chrome bars sitting on the top and a set of accents running from the headlights to the fog lights. Around back, there appears to be some new bulges and the taillights arranged underneath the rear windshield.

Mitsubishi is keeping quiet on any other details, only saying that it "features over 100 engineering and design improvements".

We'll have more details and pictures when the Outlander debuts on April 2nd.

Looks better, more modern, not as dumpy... but it also looks like any number of other CUVs in the class.  Rogue comes to mind.
