2010 Mitsubishi Outlander ES All-Wheel Drive
What it Is: A small, five- or seven-passenger all-wheel drive crossover utility vehicle.
What's Hot: Aggressive looks, available third seat row (SE), tailgate.
What's Not: Third row seat ruins cargo space.
Family Friendly Options: Bluetooth music streaming, USB connection (SE only)
How It Got Its Score: The 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander has good fuel economy with the four-cylinder engine, and the cargo space is huge without the third row.
The 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander's new nose gives it a family resemblance to the Mitsubishi Lancer sporty compacts. However, there's more to the Outlander than just its face. One touch that we especially like is the flip-down tailgate, which makes loading large items such as a bike or big stroller easier. The 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander is also available with an optional third row seat which stores under the floor when not in use. This makes it one of only a handful of four-cylinder, seven-passenger vehicles on the market. However, cargo room behind the third row is limited, and the seat is really meant only for occasional use.
After spending a week with an all-wheel drive 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS, we Recommend this vehicle...check back soon to see why.
