Verdict
A 2,268 cc 4N14 four-cylinder diesel, sold as the 2.2 DI-D, fitted to the Mitsubishi Outlander III and the automatic ASX, with more torque than the 1.8 DI-D (360 Nm from 1,500 rpm). Its documented weak point is the particulate filter, which clogs in town use. Prefer a car that has done open-road driving, with a documented service history.
