Mitsubishi Outlander Review

Smart as it is, the Mitsubishi Outlander lacks the presence that SUV buyers in India like. There’s nothing remarkable about the interior either, with a dated dash and average material quality. The Outlander is fine on space up front but the second row isn’t the comfiest and the third row is downright cramped.
Typical buyers will rue the absence of a diesel engine option but the 167hp, 2.4-litre petrol engine does feel up to the task. Power and performance are more than adequate. What spoils the experience, though, is the 6-step CVT automatic gearbox that is not always in sync with the engine. The Outlander is nice to steer and also rides over bumps with authority. It’s quite handy off-road as well, with the all-wheel-drive system taking you further than you’d expect a soft-roader to.
