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.

  Downsizing from Minivan - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Terri - October 3 - 1:33 am

  I chose the 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander due to the 100,000 mile warranty - no other manufacturer came close. I keep my vehicles for at least 10 years so this was the deciding factor. It is a great truck, handles well and coming from a Plymouth Grand Voyager and the size is very adequate for my needs. Of course, we would all like to see a little better gas mileage with todays gas prices.

  Very Satisfied - Great for Price - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By northsidefan - January 27 - 4:50 pm

  For the little extra money, it was worth upgrading to the SE model. The only feature that I wanted and was not included was a power moonroof. Otherwise, I am very happy with the purchase.

  Love this truck! - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By meagain076 - October 29 - 11:20 am

  I just bought my 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander this weekend. I fell in love with the design, and the sportiness of it. It is well worth the low price tag, and it is very fun to drive. It handles well on corners, though the pickup from start is a little slow. The gas mileage is great. Overall I am very happy with my purchase!

  Great value, overlooked SUV - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By djenkins - August 25 - 11:10 pm

  It is strange that this SUV crossover does not get better professional reviews. Everywhere I look on the net, the people who actually own one are very happy with it while pro editorial reviewers usally give mediocre reviews. It gives great value, luxury car level comfort and a modern, aggressive styling both in and out. I have the Limited version with leather. It really upgrades this entry level SUV to a luxury entry level and its double sunroofs are a nice feature. The 4-cyl. 2.4liter MIVEC engine gets the job done nicely and feels faster then it actually is. Its handling is tighter and more sport sedan-like than ALL of its competitors including the new RAV4. I tested all of them and this one is tops, I have no regrets.

  New to Outlander - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Outlander - August 3 - 4:03 pm

  Ok, I just bought this used 2006 Outlander. Let me say that I am very impressed with how smooth the car rides. The seats (front, I havent been in the back yet) are very comfortable. Sound system is great. The viewing position is perfect for my height (59").

  Fun and Fast - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By jam - June 12 - 12:53 am

  My 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander has been an incredible surprise. It is fast and fun. Price vs. quality, it is one of the best options out there in the American market.

  Fun to drive, lot of features vehicle. - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Sidney - May 25 - 2:03 am

  We traded in our minivan for our Mitsubishi Outlander. We were impressed by the 100,000 mile warranty, 5 year roadside assistance, all the standard features, and the great gas milage. The ride is nice, it has has plenty of pep for our conservative driving style. The vehicle seems well made, solid, and comforable. Of course, we gave up some room, however for an empty nest couple there is plenty of room for the luggage we take on our many trips. My wife, being 5 foot 2, loves to drive it because the drivers seat elevates to give her the driving height she likes. If you are in the market for a vehicle of this style check it out, I believe you will be pleasantly suprised.

  An Eye Catching SUV - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Bud - October 22 - 11:26 pm

  The Outlander is a great deal for the money with one of the best warranties out there on the market. This is the second Mitsubishi I have owned with my trading in a Galant for the Outlander SE. I reached for five months before buying the Outlander and what kept me coming back to the Outlander was the warranty, the outside look of the SUV and the overall qaulity of the SUV. It gets great gas mileage for an SUV with nice pick up and go with a stylish look inside and out.

  Great small SUV - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By jam - August 23 - 3:03 pm

  The fastest SUV on the market for less than $40,000. The triptonic gear box works great, even better than my 2001 Audi A4. This truck is smooth and fast, with young and sporty looks. I love that is not very common. In fact is hard to find.
