The most notable addition is a new CVT for improved performance off the line, with gearing similar to a seven-speed automatic. It also bumps city/highway fuel economy up to 25/32 mpg for 2WD models and 24/30 mpg for 4WD configurations, an increase of a single mpg all around, though the numbers are pending official EPA certification.
Mitsubishi has worked to enhance the interior experience with thicker glass and new sound insulation for less noise intrusion. Drivers will also benefit from the company’s next-generation electric power steering system.
Updates are not limited to mechanical components, with new carbon or piano black and silver trim around the audio panel. On the outside, the 2015 model is distinguished by redesigned LED running lights.
The company has not confirmed pricing for 2015, however the 2014 edition carries a $20,320 entry MSRP (including $850 freight).
