Like a steamy cup of coffee, three-row SUVS such as the Mitsubishi Outlander are how most Americans start their mornings. While its 181-hp four-cylinder and CVT won’t get your heart beating as fast as a double shot of espresso, the seven-passenger Outlander does deliver a comfy interior with a smooth ride. It shares its platform with the two-row Nissan Rogue. Adults won’t find much legroom in the third row, but first- and second-row passengers have available luxuries such as quilted leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a giant speedometer that mimics the wheel from The Price is Right. The Outlander isn’t as robust as segment-leading competitors, such as the Honda CR-V or Mazda CX-50, but it does offer plenty of cargo space and an interior as rich as oat milk. A plug-in hybrid model with 248 horsepower and all-wheel drive is also available but we review that model separately.
Loaded with tech, supremely comfortable interior, comes with a third row of seats.
Snooze-worthy powertrain, priced above more charming competitors, third-row seating not built for adults.
The Outlander offers a lot in terms of comfort and elegance, but its underwhelming powertrain and the third row’s lack of usable legroom cloud its shine.
