2010 Mitsubishi Outlander [US]
2010 Mitsubishi Outlander [US]
These are pictures of the upcoming 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander for the US market. From what it looks like, this might be the XLS trim. This was spotted in California a couple months ago. This looks a lot like the 2010 Outlander EX from China in the earlier post.

2009 Peugeot iOn Concept, based on the Mitsubishi i-MiEV
Peugeot Ion Concept
2009 Peugeot iOn Concept
Peugeot, the pioneer and 1st worldwide manufacturer of electric vehicles will be launching the Peugeot iOn at the end of 2010. Its performance and 130 km operating range is obtained in particular due to the use of lithium-ion batteries, which will provide an efficient response to the challenges of urban mobility and respect for the environment.
With the Peugeot iOn Concept, which will be presented to the world for the 1st time at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, Peugeot is incorporating the latest automotive edition into its model range.
With the Peugeot 106 produced between 1995 and 2003, Peugeot, the pioneer in electric vehicles, remains to this day the manufacturer having sold the most "zero-emissions" cars in the world.
Supported by this history, the Lion Brand intends to continue as a major player in the new market of electric vehicles. Therefore, from the end of 2010, Peugeot will be amongst the first to launch a new all-electric vehicle in Europe: the Peugeot iOn.
From launch, this electric vehicle developed in cooperation with Mitsubishi Motor Corporation (MMC), is aimed at both retail and fleet customers (authorities, local organisations and large companies, etc.) due its specifications which are particularly suited for use in an urban environment.
Lithium-ion batteries rechargeable in six hours and 80% recharged within thirty minutes
The town will therefore be the favourite playground of the Peugeot iOn Concept. With four doors and four seats, a length of 3.48 m and a turning circle of 4.50 m, this all-electric Peugeot vehicle will develop a maximum power output of 47 kW (64 bhp) and a torque of 180 Nm, thus offering reliable levels of performance (maximum speed of 130 km/h). Equipped with a totally comfortable operating range (130 km standard European cycle), the lithium-ion car batteries are rechargeable in six hours using a conventional 220 V socket or recharged to 80% capacity within thirty minutes, thanks to its fast charging system.
Peugeot Ion Concept
These specifications allow this "zero-emission" city car to offer a good level of versatility, comparable in performance and comfort to a small conventional combustion engine vehicle.
Its respect for the environment par excellence, its compact size, safety and simple operation will be its best, but by no means only attributes.
In fact, onboard it will also include some innovative services, thanks in particular to the "localised communication unit". This unit not only authorises the emergency call system for which Peugeot is a leader in terms of deployment throughout Europe (location of vehicles at the time of an accident and triggering the dispatch of suitable emergency services) but also authorises data transfer (battery status, distance covered, distance to travel before maintenance is due, etc.) thus providing assistance in the business management of fleet vehicles.
A further illustration of the brand's environmental strategy Peugeot iOn Concept illustrates Peugeot's commitment to integrate the new automotive edition by offering lots of solutions suited to the different needs of urban mobility.
This car also represents one of the key factors of the Brand's strategy to reduce the environmental footprint and dependence on fossil fuels.
As such, from the end of 2010 onwards, customers will discover some additional solutions within the model range:
* the Peugeot iOn coming at the end of 2010, is an all-electric vehicle for everyday urban use.
* The Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4, arriving in spring 2011, will be equipped with technology offering a versatile range of use (147 kW / 200 bhp, 4-wheel drive, etc, with CO2 emissions reduced to 99g/km).
These products will complete a range of combustion engines with some even higher performance engine units in both diesel HDi FAP and petrol variants (VTi and THP technology); engines which are already particularly well placed in their respective segments: 107 with 106 g/km of CO2, 207 with 99g, 308 with 120g, 3008 with 130g and 407 with 129g.
