The 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander represents the start of the model’s second generation. Offered in three trims—LS, XLS, and the luxury-focused ES—it features either a FWD or AWD drivetrain connected to a 3.0-liter V6 engine that churns out 220 horsepower. It is equipped with a novel 6-speed automatic transmission, a first in the compact SUV class. The Outlander is also notable for safety features like ABS, driver and passenger airbags, and stability control. The interior houses a contemporary infotainment system complete with a 6.1-inch touchscreen, satellite radio and 9-speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system, although the touchscreen and premium sound system are only available in XLS and Limited trims.
