Overview & Reviews

Mitsubishi has replaced the Outlander's XLS trim level with a new Special Edition (SE) trim. The SE has the same content as the former XLS but gains a few extra pieces of flashy exterior trim. The rest of the Outlander is unchanged for 2006, save for the addition of standard side airbags and antilock brakes to all models, as well as standard automatic climate control for the Limited trim.

• Roomy and functional interior, comfortable ride, peppy around town, solid handling, standard ABS.

• Could use some more power, less cargo capacity than competitors.

  Sharp Looking and Comfortable - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By walter - December 16 - 2:13 pm

  My 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander handles like a car, it takes corners nicely. The body looks like a mix of a BMW and a Lexus. The anti-lock brakes are a plus. Its mileage should be a little better though since its only a 4-cyl. It still has good pep driving in the manual way. The cargo area should be a little deeper and the back seats should lay flat. The storage in the dash needs to change, it needs to slant it so everything doesnt fly out when you take off. Overall, this is a very nice value for the money. Its sharp looking and handles well.

  AMAZING!!! - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Anthony - September 24 - 10:46 am

  Im coming from driving a 2002 ford ranger, so Im new to the compact suv class. My father has a 2008 Highlander Hybrid and Im getting better fuel economy than him. The 2.4 engine is perfectly sized, I did put a K&N drop in air filter in, and I am very responsible with oil changes and injector cleaning cycles. My best tank since Ive owned the vehicle was 30 MPG!! And my worst was still at 22 so I cannot complain. Im a teenager so I do enjoy a sporty ride, and this car delivers.

  I traded in my Mitsubishi Endeavor for the Outlander. I love the Outlanders aggressive styling. The handling of this car is amazing as well. Id recommend this SUV to anyone.

  A lot of car for the money - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Luna - June 21 - 2:33 pm

  I just love the look of this car! I test drove all of the competition of approximately the same year, 2006 and nothing looked or handled as well as this vehicle. I am still impressed with how solid it is, yet how sporty it is to drive. I also am astounded at the great gas mileage. My boyfriend has a Jetta and the Outlander gets a bit better gas mileage! I need the space to haul things for my gallery as well as a car to do errands and take clients out. This car can do it all. I am extremely pleased.

  Happy Purchase - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By sarah - April 12 - 1:43 pm

  When I was looking through possible vehicles to purchase upon a move to snowy Minnesota, I met with a dealership that found the Outlander would match my needs. While I wasnt a big fan of the outer appearance, it was nice to look at a car that wasnt exactly the same as all the other small SUVs. I ended up buying the car after checking out some of its competitors (i.e. CRV, VUE, RAV4) and have found my Outlander to be a terrific buy. I think it is very comfortable, with a simple, clean interior. I would recommend this car to someone looking for a smaller AWD vehicle.

  The Best Bang for my Buck - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Alex L - March 1 - 2:00 am

  I had never even heard of the Outlander. I didnt want another Honda CR-V or Ford Escape like everyone on my block. The wife saw it first. The more I checked it out the more I liked it too. It was overall exactly what we needed at the time. The deciding factors were its good gas mileage, interior space, reasonable price, color and the desire to own something different. It could use more power and two more seats though. Im still more than satisfied with this buy. I love when people ask "Hey what is that, its cool lookin." I personally love the silver color. Well thats my rewiew

  Mitsubishi weekender - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Nopamo - April 20 - 12:16 pm

  Bought this outlander in October and it has been a perfect fit since. I was looking for a car like suv and found outlander fitting in utility and price. It has fit into our lifestyle as a weekend and vacation get away mobile. Its perfect as a secondary car especially when you want to give your daily commute car a break. The money youll save could be used on enjoying your destination. Our outlander is adequately powered for getting here to there. All the necessary comforts for the drive are present including a more than comfortable and roomy passenger space. Four medium sized people will seat very easily. Five is do-able for shorter trips. Back seats recline, but will sacrifice cargo.

  Great Car - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Snoop - December 31 - 4:50 pm

  It still amazes me that the resale value of these is so far below the CRV and the Rav4. Makes picking up one lightly used a no-brainer. The SE model exterior design blows away the rivals. Great looking vehicle (SE/LTD - LS OK) and you wont see many (if any) on the road. The engine has plenty of power even when entering/passing on the highway. The Infiniti sound system is great. Plenty of room on the inside, slightly less cargo space than the CRV & Rav4, but not by much. Expected to run forever (150 - 200K easy) with little maintenance.
