Mitsubishi Outlander Overview

Mitsubishi is known for making driver-oriented products, and the Outlander is no exception. The large front grill makes it instantly recognizable as a Mitsubishi, and lends it an aggressive appearance which makes it stand out from the other vehicles in its class. Though the Outlander can be configured to carry seven passengers, it has won praise for its nimble handling, responsive V6 and sporty touches like magnesium paddle shifters. Base 2WD models come standard with a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine (23/28 mpg) mated to a Continuously Variable Transmission, and sport some upscale touches like LED tail lights, rear privacy glass, and a leather-wrapped wheel and shift knob. ES models get color-keyed door handles and mirrors, black roof rails and auto-off halogen headlamps, while SE models feature an upgraded stereo system with an in-dash six-CD changer, 18-inch alloy wheels, heated mirrors and optional AWD. XLS and GT trims feature a 3.0L V6 and a six-speed automatic transmission. The XLS is available only as 2WD, and the GT comes standard with Mitsubishi's Super All-Wheel Control. Each of these premium models also comes with keyless entry and hands-free starting. MSRP for the Outlander ranges from $21,995 to $27,795.
