What is an SUV without four-wheel drive? Well, it's still a sport-utility vehicle, of course, but that utility is a bit restricted.
Actually, on the Outlander it's all-wheel drive rather than the traditional four-wheel. The system is electronically controlled and features multiple modes.
The LS AWD features all of the same safety equipment as the 2WD LS (air bags, ABS, and active skid control) as well as the same comforts and conveniences (air conditioning, cruise control, pre-wiring for Bluetooth hands-free communication, leather interior accents, and remote keyless entry). The driver's seat has a wonderful, 10-way power adjust to keep back pain and other discomfort at bay.
On the outside, alloy wheels catch the eye, as does the exhaust finisher. Black roof rails await any cargo that won't fit inside.
