Overview
2008 Mitsubishi Outlander ES Front angle medium view photo KBB Editors' Overview
While the previous-generation Mitsubishi Outlander never amounted to much more than basic transportation in the shape of an SUV, the 2008 model makes a compelling alternative to the category's best. Completely new last year and based on the same platform that's used for the Lancer sedan (and the hot-performing Evo sport variant), the sportier and more powerful Outlander is transformed most significantly by a huge leap in refinement. Combined with available features that include a hard drive-based navigation system, rear-seat DVD entertainment system, 650-watt audio system, Bluetooth hands-free phone interface and keyless entry and start, it wouldn't have been surprising if Mitsubishi had given its compact crossover a new name altogether. Like the latest Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Santa Fe, the Outlander also offers a small, "just in case" third-row seat.
You'll Like This Car If... You May Not Like This Car If...
Arguably the most tech-savvy vehicle in the category, the 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander is further distinguished by a combination of energetic driving dynamics and an available third-row seat. If you'll be using a third-row seat with any regularity, you'll definitely want something bigger. While the stable and confident Outlander isn't one to turn its nose up at a little enthusiastic driving, it's not as sporty as the Mazda CX-7, for instance.
What's Significant about this Car?
Big changes for the relatively new Outlander include a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with CVT automatic transmission on ES trim levels (replacing the standard V6), heated side mirrors on four-wheel-drive models and a keyless remote fob for the ES trim. LS and XLS trims receive an auxiliary audio input jack, while XLS trims receive new 18-inch wheels. The sliding second-row seat feature has been deleted from ES and LS trims.
