History/Overview
The Outlander is Mitsubishi's three-row compact crossover. While this is a large segment, fewer models offer that extra row, and while it isn't for adults on a full-time basis, having the option is excellent on the occasions when you need it but don't want a midsizer the rest of the time. This new model represents the fourth-generation of the popular crossover.
