Mitsubishi Outlander (07 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 14 December 2006 Last Updated: 03 March 2011 The second-generation Outlander is the best car Mitsubishi has produced in years. Nearly all models come with seven seats, making it a good choice for larger families, while the interior is well built and durable. There's plenty of cabin space, it's very good to drive and comes well equipped - even in entry-level trim. Unfortunately it isn't quite as refined or as practical as other offroaders with a narrow load space and a firm ride. The extra seats are also very cramped and offer little comfort. On the plus side, it's available with a 2.0-litre diesel engine from Volkswagen which offers strong performance and useful economy. The Citroen C-Crosser and Peugeot 4007 are both based on the Outlander. 4 out of 5 Other Mitsubishi reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Safety The Outlander was awarded four stars for adult occupant safety in Euro NCAP crash tests which is respectable and on par with other offroaders such as the Toyota RAV4, Nissan X-Trail and Chevrolet Captiva. All models come with electronic stability control (which helps correct the car's line during a skid and potentially avoid accidents) and front airbags, although you have to upgrade to Warrior specification for side and curtain airbags. Warrior models also come with Bluetooth hands-free phone compatibility.

There have been two recalls but these have been for 2.2-litre diesel models - an engine that is borrowed from Peugeot/Citroen. Car check problem points Body No problems reported. Engine/Gearbox Two recalls in 2008 - one for a potential fuel leak and another for an issue where the engine may stall when a driver performs a quick gear shift. These only apply to 2.2-litre diesel models. Other No problems reported. Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
