Combining modern styling with excellent handling and ample cargo space, the 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander is loaded with advanced features and technology to make your everyday drive a true pleasure.

The Outlander is available in two trim levels – the LS and the XLS – both featuring a 3.0 liter all-aluminum V6 engine with a solid 220 horsepower and 204 lb.-ft. of torque.  Mated to the standard Sportronic® 6-speed automatic transmission with adaptive shift control and clutchless manual shift mode, acceleration is ample, but the Outlander is slightly underpowered compared to its competitors. Optional full-time, electronically-controlled four-wheel drive offers excellent handling and grip in a variety of road and weather conditions.

A standard 4-wheel anti-lock braking system and 4-wheel power-assisted disc brakes offer excellent stopping power and minimal wheel lockup during hard braking. Standard 18” wheels and tires on XLS models offer sweet style and good tire grip on- or off-road. Additional safety features include advanced dual-stage front airbags, side-impact head protection airbags, and front-seat thorax side airbags to protect front and rear passengers in a collision. The standard Active Stability Control system helps to keep the Outlander stable and well-planted during evasive steering maneuvers. The standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System constantly monitors tire pressure and alerts the driver to any significant changes.

Inside, the optional 30 GB Navigation System features hard drive map storage, a digital music server and Diamond Lane Guidance system, allowing the driver to expertly navigate a route. The available Bluetooth® hands-free interface allows maximum flexibility when using a cell phone. The optional 650-watt Rockford Fosgate® 6-CD/MP3 player has nine speakers, a Digital Sound Processor, and SIRIUS® Satellite Radio for an amazing audio experience. Optional heated front seats offer warmth and comfort, while the 60/40 split fold/tumble rear seats increase cargo flexibility.

The 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander offers a wealth of excellent amenities, capable off-road handling, and a roomy interior that make it a great value in the midsize SUV class.
