Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander is a compact crossover SUV available in four trim levels: ES, SE, XLS and GT. The entry-level ES is equipped with a four-cylinder engine and comes standard with 16-inch steel wheels, air-conditioning, a six-speaker CD stereo, cruise control, full power accessories and reclining rear seats.

An optional Convenience package adds alloy wheels, heated side view mirrors, roof rails, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth, steering-wheel audio controls and an auxiliary audio jack.

The SE bumps the wheel size up to 18 inches and adds remote keyless ignition and entry, fabric sport seats, a six-disc CD changer, turn-signal mirrors, fog lights and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

The Outlander XLS is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 and comes with all the above-mentioned features plus the Fuse hands-free link system, a third-row seat, automatic climate control, chrome accents in the cabin and voice-activated Bluetooth phone connectivity.

Powertrains and Performance

The Outlander ES and SE are powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 168 hp and 167 pound-feet of torque. The XLS and GT have a 3.0-liter V6 good for 230 hp and 215 lb-ft of torque. Four-cylinder Outlanders come standard with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), while the V6-powered XLS and GT use a traditional six-speed automatic. Both have manual-shift capability.

Choose “4WD Lock” and the system sends a greater percentage of torque to the rear wheels — up to 60 percent when needed, making it ideal when driving in especially slippery conditions, such as on ice and snow.

The GT’s all-wheel-drive system features an improved front differential and allows the driver to use a “Tarmac, Snow or Lock” selector knob to switch among modes, thus allowing for optimized traction on different road surfaces.

EPA fuel economy estimates for the 2WD 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander are 21 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined with the four-cylinder engine, and 19/25/21 mpg with the V6. The AWD four-cylinder gets 21/25/22 mpg, while the AWD V6 gets 18/24/20 mpg.

Safety

All major safety features are standard on the Outlander, including anti-lock disc brakes, stability control, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags.

In the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s frontal offset and side-impact crash tests, the Outlander earned the top rating of “Good.” In government crash tests, the Outlander earned an equally impressive five-star rating for frontal and side-impact protection.
