The Mitsubishi Outlander, as we know it, will only last for a few years before it moves on to a totally different platform.

Mitsubishi is turning away from Nissan for development of the next Outlander. Scheduled for 2027, the SUV will have a Mitsubishi platform.

With the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance looking fraught, the next Outlander will reportedly move to one of Mitsubishi's own platforms in its next generation.

Nissan’s apparent woes with its finances is not the only bad thing that’s brewing within the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance. Just weeks after Honda and Nissan announced they were aborting their plan to merge, a new report suggests that Mitsubishi doesn’t want the next Outlander to share a platform with Nissan.
