The Outlander is Mitsubishi 's second smallest SUV offering in North America. The compact crossover is built on the same platform as the Dodge Caliber and Chrysler Sebring -- the result of a partnership with Chrysler.

The entry-level Outlander ES and SE models are powered by a fuel-efficient 2.4-liter 168 horsepower, 167 lb-ft of torque aluminum DOHC MIVEC four-cylinder engine teamed with a new Sportronic CVT transmission.

Both the ES and SE will return 21 city, and 27 highway in front-wheel-drive form, and 21 city, 25 highway with all-wheel-control. The XLS obtains 19 city, and 25 highway in front-wheel-drive form, but drops to 18 city, 24 highway with all-wheel-control. The GT is only available with all-wheel-control and is thus rated at 18 city, 24 highway.

The more premium XLS and GT models are powered by an updated 3.0-liter 230 horsepower, 204 lb-ft of torque aluminum MIVEC V6 engine mated to a six-speed Sportronic automatic transmission.

All Outlander models come standard with front-wheel drive, Active Stability and Traction Control (ASTC), Anti-lock Braking system (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) to improve steering while braking. What's more, all are available with optional all-wheel-control.

The entry-level ES model comes with standard 16-inch wheels, front airbags, seat-mounted side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags, anti-lock breaks, a tire pressure monitor, ASC, aluminum roof and a flap-fold tailgate. There are no options on the ES model.

The SE, XLS, and GT models all come with 18 inch wheels, with the latter two having a unique 7-spoke design. The SE gains FAST-key over the ES as standard equipment, as well as availability of the 710-watt Rockford Fosgate stereo, FUSE hands-free link system, and a power glass sunroof.

The upscale XLS and GT models come with more standard and available equipment. The XLS gains standard FAST-key and FUSE technologies, with the option for full leather seating surfaces, Xenon HID headlamps and the 40GB HDD Navigation with a music server and real-time traffic.

The top-level GT comes standard with Xenon HID headlamps, 710-watt Rockford Fosgate stereo, and the power glass sunroof.

In all four trim levels the second row seat features independently reclining 60/40 split fold-and-tumble seat backs. On XLS models, the standard third row seat folds flat into the floor. With the second and third rows folded, overall cargo volume is 72.6 cubic feet.

Key Competitors
As a three-row crossover straddling the line between the compact and mid-size segments, the Outlander faces competition from the Toyota RAV4 , the Subaru Forester and the Ford Edge .
