2007 Sport/Utility Of The Year Testing

Mitsubishi Outlander

What It Is
To put it simply, this is a compact SUV that must find a way to separate itself from the pack to save its parent company.

What You Should Know
Although certainly unique, the interior is trying too hard to look different and mix in some high-performance (read Evo) styling and tech. The engine is underwhelming and styling bland. The shape is almost invisible and the third-row option is cumbersome.

Bottom Line
If you have to be different, thisill offer some interesting variety, but It's far from the best in class.
