3. Plentiful standard features
The best reasons to buy just might be on the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander's long list of standard features. For example, the base model comes with alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a six-speaker sound system.

4. Great for camping
With three rows and a maximum estimated towing capacity of 3,500 lbs (when properly equipped) with the 3.0L engine that's available on the GT trim, the Outlander makes a wonderful companion for camping.
5. A whisper quiet SUV
One of the reasons why the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander can be such a joy to drive is because it's so quiet. Inside, that's due to sound-deadening improvements such as streamlined interior panels. Mechanically, dampers added to the rear differential and suspension framework can help give you a quiet ride.
