A total redesign the new Outlander

A total redesign targeted traditional segment leaders with increased size, a host of new features and a thorough makeover inside and out. Notably, the Outlander gained 4 inches of length, which made third-row seating possible while adding 13 cubic feet of cargo space. Mitsubishi's small SUV is available in four trims: ES, LS, SE and top-of-the-line XLS.The entry-level four-cylinder ES includes many must-have accoutrements as well as a full array of safety features. Moving up to the midlevel, V6-powered LS adds nice features like alloy wheels, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and a roof rack. The SE has the base four-cylinder engine but includes upscale features like a Rockford Fosgate audio system. The high-end V6-powered Outlander XLS offers Bluetooth, keyless ignition, automatic climate control and a fold-flat third-row bench seat.With the standard third-row seat, all Outlanders have a seven-passenger capacity, though the rear seat is strictly for small children. The Outlander can also be outfitted with high-tech options like a navigation system, a special 30-gigabyte hard drive that can store MP3 audio files and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system.
