The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander is an attractive option in the compact crossover segment for buyers. While the other SUVs in the segment offer practicality and value, the Outlander stands out with its dazzling exterior design, comfortable cabin, and host of convenience and safety features. On top of this, one can also add Mitsubishi’s reliability and off-road prowess, and this is a perfect compact crossover. Here are some key details about it:

1. Design
The 2024 Outlander features flowing lines along its sides and wheel arches that give the vehicle an imposing presence on the road. The crossover’s angular grille segues neatly into its sharp and attractive headlamps. The Outlander’s fog lamps and metallic panels give this vehicle a striking face. The angular theme continues in the vehicle’s rear, with the taillamps, tailgate, and exhausts giving the Outlander a sporty and distinctive look. One thing is for sure: this vehicle will likely turn heads as it glides through crowded roads.

2. Cabin design and quality
The Mitsubishi Outlander 2024’s interior may share similarities with other vehicles manufactured on its shared platform, but the carmaker has added several elements to make it stand out. The overall design inside the vehicle is minimalist for the most part. There are several storage spaces, such as smartphone holders, a glove compartment, large food pockets, a large cubbyhole under the two central armrests, multiple cup holders, and nifty little storage boxes to keep keys and other minor objects. The cabin is not as flashy as some of its market rivals and looks great because of the high-quality materials used on every panel and surface.

The car’s seats and some panels are made of quality fabric and premium synthetic leather. The pricier variants feature aluminum accents, making the cabin feel even more upmarket for the vehicle’s occupants.

3. Space and comfort
The 2024 Outlander has an added third row of passenger seating. The front two rows really shine in terms of space and comfort, with the seats being as supportive and adjustable as possible and the room being adequate. While the front two rows are comfortable, the third row of seats feels cramped. This makes the third row fit for kids and pets, as they only take up a little space.

The first two rows of seating offer ample headroom, 40.6 inches and 39.1 inches, respectively. The leg room is around 41.7 inches and 39.9 inches, respectively; the shoulder room is 57.9 inches and 55.9 inches, respectively; and the hip room is 54 inches and 53.3 inches, respectively, for its occupants.

4. Cargo capacity
With all seven seats up, the Outlander offers limited cargo space at about 11.7 cubic feet. When the last row of seats is folded down, the space increases to a more reasonable 33.5 cubic feet. The second row of seats needs to be folded to free up a remarkable 79.7 cubic feet of space to load cargo in the cabin.

5. Engine and performance
The 2024 Outlander has a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that may not be the most powerful, but its smoothness makes up for some of the lack of power. The Outlander can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 9.7 seconds, slightly slower than some of its market rivals. The engine is perfect for urban cruising, as it is responsive and provides a decent experience.

6. Ride and handling
Regarding driving dynamics, the Outlander settles for comfort instead of sportiness. The steering weighs just the right amount when driving around corners, and the body of this large vehicle remains remarkably stable and pliant even on less-than-perfect road surfaces.

Overall, the ride quality and handling of the Outlander 2024 are comfortable, and the occupants will not feel queasy or uncomfortable even after long drives in this vehicle.

7. Fuel economy
The 4-wheel-drive variants return 24 mpg in cities and 30 mpg on highways. The front-wheel-drive variants of the Outlander return a marginally better 24 mpg/31 mpg in similar settings. The Outlander PHEV (hybrid electric variant) returns a combined mileage of about 64 MPGe, making it frugal enough for long cruises on weekends without burning a lot of power and fuel. The more powerful variants will be less fuel-efficient, as expected.

8. Features
As implied earlier, the high-end Outlander 2024 variant is loaded with entertainment, information, and convenience features, including a 9-inch infotainment screen, Bose premium brand speakers, a 10-speaker audio system, a subwoofer, keyless ignition and entry, cameras on three sides of the vehicle, a glass moonroof and sunroof, cruise control, a multi-functional steering wheel, heated mirrors, and connectivity with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

9. Safety equipment
Some of the safety features that can be found on the top-of-the-line variant of the 2024 Outlander include airbags for front and rear passengers, an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) for all four wheels, an emergency braking system, pre- and post-collision safety systems, traction control, tire pressure monitoring, and a driver attention alert.

10. Price range
The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander’s price ranges from $28,395 to $40,845 for its variants. These prices are dynamic.
