Overview & Reviews
To complement last year's standard V6 engine, a new four-cylinder engine debuts for the 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander. It's offered on the base ES and new-for-2008 SE trim level and comes standard with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Other changes include the discontinuation of the sliding second-row rear seat feature on ES and LS trims (it's still on the XLS) and an update to the optional navigation system that provides additional carpool-lane routing.
- Agile handling, sporty styling with useful rear tailgate/liftgate design, wide range of features, lengthy warranty.
- Limited access to desirable options, a few low-grade plastics, kid-size third-row seat is flimsy and hard to fold.
