2011 Mitsubishi Outlander is more like a sport utility vehicle

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander review
Those new design cues play well on the Outlander's raked crossover body. A choice of engines are offered to Mitsubishi Outlander buyers. The GT version adopts the all-wheel-drive system of the Lancer Evolution and Ralliart models, and has a knob-controlled choice of Tarmac, Snow, and Lock traction modes. With both the rear rows of seats folded, the Mitsubishi Outlander supplies 73 cubic feet of hauling room.

All Mitsubishi Outlander come with front side airbags, side curtain bags covering the first two rows, front active headrests, electronic stability control, and anti-lock brakes.
At the top of the lineup, the luxurious XLS picks up fog lamps, steering-wheel audio controls, remote start, cruise control, and automatic climate control, plus the new FUSE hands-free link system, controlling audio and calling functions with voice commands

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander is more like a sport utility vehicle than a boring old crossover that combines smart innovations, stunning looks and sophisticated technology in one package.
The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander is a crossover sport utility vehicle offered in four different trim levels such as GT, ES, XLS and SE. Stepping up to SE trim level of 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander gets 18 inch alloy wheels, steering wheel mounted paddle shifters, foglamps, third row seats, turn signal mirrors, sliding second row seats, keyless entry, six-disc CD changer, upgraded gauges and sport seats. The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT gets all the features of XLS plus advanced All Wheel Drive mode selector, active front differential and hill start assist. The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander’s All Wheel Drive system provides various driver selectable modes for optimizing traction in all conditions, while the GT’s four-wheel drive system comes with additional modes and improved front differential. The fuel economy for front wheel drive models is 28 mpg highway, 23 mpg city and 25 mpg in combined driving, while for four-wheel drive versions is 22 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and 24 mpg in combined driving.

Standard safety features on 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander include antilock disc brakes, side curtain full length airbags, stability control and front seat side airbags.

Parents looking for an aggressively sporty, small crossover with the ability to rock out should look no further than the all-new 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. The 2011 Outlander Sport is more dude-like than your average small crossover. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on the base Outlander Sport ES.
My test car, an Outlander Sport SE with all-wheel drive, cost $25,575. The base front-wheel drive model starts at $18,495.

EXTERIOR
The Outlander Sport has a sleek look. Any parent driving it would look sporty in the carpool lane.
Parental concerns are few in the Outlander Sport. The doors are easy to open for everyone except smaller kids. The Outlander Sport has a 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine. My all-wheel-drive test car gets an EPA-estimated 24/29 mpg city/highway; for better gas mileage, the front-wheel-drive model with a CVT gets 25/31 mpg. The Outlander Sport's Bluetooth hands-free phone system was a piece of cake to use.
