2006 Mitsubishi Outlander Preview summaryImage

The Mitsubishi Outlander is largely unchanged for 2006, following a series of significant upgrades for the previous model year. There are some new safety features this year, side airbags and ABS, which are standard for all trims.

The Outlander is once again available in six variations, with three trims, each offered with front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The LS returns unchanged, aside from the addition of the new safety items. The mid-level XLS has been renamed the SE. This style includes the same features plus some new interior trim accents. The Limited trim now comes with automatic climate control.

All six Outlander variants house a 2.4 liter inline four, which produces 160 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic is the only transmission option for the SE and Limited, but a manual shift feature is included. The LS comes with a five-speed manual transmission, while the automatic is optional. Fuel economy is estimated at 21/26 mpg with the automatic and 21/27 mpg with the manual.

The Outlander gets a significant boost in the compact crossover SUV segment, thanks to the addition of ABS to all models. Test drivers continue to praise the Outlander for its car-like ride quality attributes and stable handling. This SUV also offers solid driver and passenger comfort, with supportive and spacious seating and well-placed controls. Both drivers and reviewers would still like some more power.

I like the look of this car. It's super comfortable. The interior is laid out in a very easy and natural manner. Everything flows visually and functions well, which I like. There are so many bins and pockets in this car, and the compartments in the back for the spare tire, jack and jumper cables are easy to get to. It doesn't have any noises. Such a quiet ride. It sits a little higher, which I like, but it's not a giant truck by any-means. No blind spots. Didn't have to bring it to the shop all that often, just the usual check up, and when I did, everything was fine. The gas mileage was super great and runs on the cheap gas. The car has some pep. I had no trouble using it in all sorts of traffic. Although it's no race car, I've always thought of it as having plenty of power, even up the hills in Seattle. The handling is great. Point and go. The brakes have really lasted. Last time I brought it in for service they said the brakes were still good. It's super fun car to drive and very safe for my family, which gives me piece of mind. All the great features of this car came standard. I have no need for 4x4 and not having AWD makes it more efficient. For being just a LS, I couldn't be more pleased. It's a great car. Mitsubishi hit it's mark with this one. Aug 13, 2012
