2006 Mitsubishi Outlander Overview

Introduction

The Mitsubishi Outlander is a car-based sport utility, with four doors and a roomy cargo area that's easily accessible. Like other small crossover sport-utes, Outlander offers elevated seating for better visibility.

The Outlander is available in three trim levels: LS, SE, and Limited. All come with a 160-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. The LS comes with a five-speed manual transmission but offers a four-speed automatic. Automatic transmission is standard on the SE and Limited. All three models are available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Safety features that come standard include anti-lock brakes and side-impact airbags. These are in addition to the required frontal airbags. Three-point seatbelts for all five seating positions and child safety seat anchors come standard.

For 2006, The Mitsubishi Outlander SE replaces last year's XLS. The Limited model also adds automatic climate control to its list of standard conveniences.
