The new 4x4 aims to improve dramatically on its predecessor's comfort and refinement when it goes on sale in the spring of 2007.Although the show car is called a concept, it's a derivative of a Mitsubishi SUV that has been on sale in Japan since 2005.
The Outlander Concept at Paris is a version of the Japanese model that has been modified to better suit European roads.
The 138bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine is supplied by Volkswagen and is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel drive.
The show car sits on 20in alloy wheels, but production models will come with 16- or 17in wheels.
