"Outlander Sport: Mitsubishi put a new continuously variable transmission in its compact crossover for its 2015 model year re-engineering, and a new 2.4-liter engine will be added in February as a midyear addition to the lineup."

found this in an article on autonews.com, its dated over a year ago, was just wondering if anyone had "solid" information about the addition of the 2.4-liter.

Here is the link to the full article. http://www.autonews.com/article/2014...a-unified-look

Not sure, but I'm dropping my os off at the dealer to get touch up paint work done on Monday, so I can see if they know anything about it (: I think we'd all love a 2.4 lol

TEXAS TRAVISTY

its a shame they do not just use the ralliart turbo set up they know we are waiting on it!!! Even the COLT has a turbo now, come on MITSUBISHI!!!!!

mRVRsport

No kidding!
Even if Mitsu have to detune the motor AND lower warranty duration, Just do it and give us the 2.0L Turbo now!!




Amen.


ESPECIALLY, when you considered/Remember those Eagle Talons TSi from the 1990s that had TURBO AND AWD...

Why not just give us those Old setups?
I had to look up the specs from back then >

Asked my dealer about it when I picked up my OS today, the salesman I spoke to mentioned he heard about it but nothing had popped up in their training yet and they haven't heard an official time frame on it yet. He said he wouldn't doubt it won't make it into the 15s but might make it into the 16s.

Announced to us by Mitsubishi at the end of Sept. that the Outlander Sport GT will be available sometime after Christmas. It will have the blacked out middle part of the grille, turn signals in the mirrors, the anticipated 2.4L upgrade, different wheels also.

there are a few things i may be missing, but i know its going to be AWESOME!!

just what the RVR needs a 2.4L. hopefully we get the same thing up here in Canada.

Hopefully, mitsu will give us an upgraded CVT to match!

ENGL4ND

They already did sir, well, not exactly a new one. The 2015 Model has the CVT and has been re programmed for better torque, and shift response. From what our regional rep told us it was done with the 2.4L in mind...

mRVRsport

Pardon me.. I should have been more specific >
I hope Mitsu gives us a Stronger CVT that can handle Modders (ie: Road Race, Texas Travisty, etc.) who wants to Boost their engines to Over 200+HP and NOT have the CVT melt!

ENGL4ND

Didn't mean to offend, if I did offend my sincere apologies.

I also wish Mitsu would give us an option for a stronger CVT, would love to see an option of; 'ECO' CVT or a, as you put it, stronger CVT. Most people we deal with here want the MPG's out of the OS. Some would like a complete different set up all together i.e. ME! As im not a big fan of Evo's, I would personally love to see another outlet for performance.... ( Await the barrage of EVO comments... lol)

I will say Mitsu have done a great job on the 2015 CVT set up, you can definitely tell a difference from 2014. A lot more low end torque and much peppier all while getting 1MPG better in City/Hwyq

mRVRsport

Offend?
Please.. Most of us have rhino skins, it'll take a Lot more to offend us. No need to apologize for anything.


Now, if you know if there's a way to re-Flash our 2013 ECU's to have the "newer" 2015 CVT map, then we'll all be chanting your name.

Then get a manual...
