2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Review Pictures
At the
heart of every 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander is one of the toughest engines
on the road today. Both the barebones Mitsubishi models and the more
sophisticated Montero Limited model come standard with 3.8-liter,
cast-iron, SOHC, 24-valve V-6 engines that produce 215 horsepower
at 5,500 rpm and deliver 248 pounds-per-foot of torque at 3,250 rpm.
That, however, is just the beginning. Offers front independent double
wishbone suspension with coil springs, and rear independent multi-link
suspension with coil springs as well. It's hard to imagine anything
weighing 4,600 pounds as light on its feet. But with a unibody construction
giving it a low center of gravity, and precise, responsive steering,
floats like a butterfly over the tough stuff. Safety features include:
rack-and-pinion steering, RISE unibody chassis, front and rear crumple
zones, Active Trac drive system, MultiMode antilock braking system,
and the Mitsubishi Active Skid and Traction Control System.
Standard exterior features include: skid plates for the four-wheel-drive
transfer case, 16-inch alloy wheels, color-keyed grille, integrated
fog lights, and tow hooks, to name a few. Standard interior features
consist of equally touted amenities, such as: leather-wrapped steering
wheel, air conditioning, three 12-volt accessory outlets, passenger
assist grips, cruise control, and more. Finally, new for this year,
2004 Mitsubishi Outlander accessories outnumber all of these features
put together, and include such bells and whistles as a grille guard,
bike carrier, hood protector, sunroof wind deflector, cargo organizer,
and license plate frame. On the one hand, with a disappearing third-row
seat, this is a full-sized SUV with room for seven full-sized people
to ride in luxury. On the other hand, with its legendary offroad capability,
it is also an SUV that truly relishes rugged adventure
The 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander offers a roomy and comfortable interior,
a benefit of its long wheelbase. We found all controls easy to operate.
Getting in and out is easy. You neither have to climb up nor stoop
down to get inside. Once seated, you have a commanding vantage similar
to that in a minivan. Low-slung sports cars have low h-points, while
tall SUVs and 4X4 pickup trucks have high h-points. Once in, there's
a good amount of headroom for taller drivers. The seats use high-density
foam padding and the standard cloth is nice. The driver's seat offers
height adjustment and effective lumbar support. The optional leather
seats are an option on the model, and they feel a little firmer; the
package also includes heated seats and side-impact airbags for the
driver and front-seat passenger. The passenger seat and the back seat
are comfortable and the vehicle feels confident, making it a good
place to spend the miles. Both front seats feature seatbelt pretensioner
and force-limiter technology, which can help reduce injuries in an
accident.
