2020 Mitsubishi Outlander review

1. Flexible seating

There's room for seven passengers in the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander, with flexible seating so you can change it up as your passenger and cargo needs vary from day to day. There's a 50/50 split-folding third row and a 60/40 split-folding second row, making it simple to change the configuration for your needs. The second row also slides and reclines to keep everyone happy on road trips and other adventures. And you'll love the now-standard driver seat power lumbar adjustment for even more comfort while driving.

• For occasions when you need to haul more cargo than passengers, the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander has plenty of room for all your stuff:

• 10.3 cubic feet behind the third row

• 34.2 cubic feet behind the second row (33 cubic feet with sunroof)
