Mitsubishi Outlander

Price $25,998 – $35,198
Fuel consumption 7.0 – 11.0 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 83%(view ratings)
Mitsubishi’s Outlander SUV appeals to a wide range of buyers, some looking for a 5-seater with FWD or AWD, and others looking for the XLS S-AWC 7-seater with AWD. The winning combination is to choose the 230-hp V6, automatic gearbox and AWD. That said, the FWD model comes with a 4-cylinder engine that is nothing to scoff at. Its towing capacity is one of the best of its class and is quite impressive.
