Context
Why does this story matter?
Mitsubishi entered the US market under its own name in 1981. The Japanese carmaker became a popular choice among off-roading enthusiasts with the likes of the Pajero and Montero SUVs. The brand has now introduced a 40th Anniversary Special Edition of the Outlander model to celebrate its 40 years on American soil, fashionably late by almost two years.

The SUV flaunts LED headlights and roof rails
The Mitsubishi Outlander 40th Anniversary Special Edition sports a long and sculpted hood, a large black grille, bumper-mounted LED headlights with split-type DRLs, skid plates, and fog lights with C-shaped chrome surrounds. The SUV is flanked on the sides by ORVMs, silvered roof rails, chromed window lining, and dual-tone alloy wheels. Wrap-around LED taillights and a roof-mounted spoiler are available at the rear.
