2008 Mitsubishi Outlander

2008 Mitsubishi Outlander Overview

Introduction

The Mitsubishi Outlander is the company's entry in the highly competitive compact sport utility vehicle class.

For the 2008 model year, four trims are available: ES, SE, LS, and XLS. Each is available with a front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive system. Standard engine on the ES and SE trim is a 168 hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT) transmission. The LS and XLS trim are equipped with a 220 hp 3.0-liter V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, which is optional on the ES and LS, but the 3.0-liter only produces 213 horsepower on those trims. Safety features on all Outlanders include dual-stage frontal airbags and front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, side-curtain airbags, vehicle stability control, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution, traction control, and a tire-pressure monitor.

For 2008 the Outlander receives a new SE trim and an all new four-cylinder engine with a six-speed CVT transmission. Two new exterior colors have also been added.
