2014 Mitsubishi Outlander review

1. Redesigned for 2014 

Mitsubishi has made some huge changes to the Outlander for 2014. The exterior design has been made more aerodynamic, the powertrains have been tweaked, and as a result, the vehicle gets more mpg. The interior also looks much more polished now, with modern style choices made inside and a more sturdy third-row seat added. There are also a raft of new high-tech features available across the various trim levels, so keep an eye out when shopping for the version of the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander you want. 

2. Attractive interior 

One of the most striking things about the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander is the appealing interior. This was a focus for Mitsubishi during the big design refresh of the third generation. The seats are firm and comfortable, and the entire look of the cabin has been upgraded to suit the modern driver. It no longer looks cheap, which was a complaint for previous versions of the Outlander. And while the sturdy third row of seating is really only suitable for small children, it is very useful for families or anyone who regularly looks after kids. 

3. Improved mpg 

The improved fuel economy the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander offers makes it appealing as a practical SUV. For the base 2.4L four-cylinder engine with FWD, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander achieves an EPA-estimated 27 combined mpg.

4. Three trims 

There are three versions of the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander available, so it’s worth doing your research when shopping around to find exactly what you want. The ES and SE trims come with the 2.4L four-cylinder engine, while the GT has the V6. The base trim is FWD only and the other two trims have the choice of FWD or AWD. All trims are generously stacked with features, including a touchscreen display, Bluetooth^® connectivity, and rearview camera as standard, plus many other modern additions depending on the trim you want. 

5. Comfortable seating 

The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander is particularly comfortable. All three rows of seating are a pleasant mixture of firm yet supportive, as well as spacious enough for most passengers. The third row is really only suitable for children, but that makes the vehicle ideal for families. Cloth upholstery is standard, but leather becomes an option on higher trims, and heated sets are an additional potential upgrade too. For long journeys with the kids, these features make everything much more relaxing.
