Specifications apply to this test vehicle.
The Mitsubishi Outlander is the company's small crossover, designed to compete with the likes of the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, among many others. When it was redesigned for the 2008 model year, Mitsubishi made a third row of seats available in this compact crossover, but only in more expensive, V-6 powered models. For 2010, Mitsubishi significantly restyled the Outlander, giving the 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander a nose that's virtually a clone of the popular Mitsubishi Lancer compact sedan. At the same time, it expanded the availability of the third row, making it an option in four-cylinder models. We were anxious to try out this compact crossover, mainly because we wanted to see if a third row -- especially one that folds into the floor -- could really be comfortable enough for daily use. Unfortunately, a four-cylinder model with a third row wasn't available, so we borrowed a V-6 powered 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS All-Wheel Drive for a week to find out. |
