The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander is a SUV powered by a standard 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 168 hp and an optional 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces 230 hp.

Fuel mileage is an EPA 23 mpg city and 28 mpg highway or 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, depending on engine selection.

Safety features are comprised of active stability control, anti-lock brake system, and six standard airbags. The Outlander qualifies for a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty.

Benefits of Driving a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Utility Crossover

The Mitsubishi Outlander has a lot of features for its price bracket and will give its Kia Sorento rival a run for its money. Gas mileage is pretty good too, with the base-level ES turning in 21 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. Even the 7-passenger XLS equipped with all-wheel drive gets 18 mpg in the city and 24 on the highway.

What's new for 2011?

Following a complete refresh last year, the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander receives almost no significant changes. ES and XLS models are no longer available with all-wheel drive, leaving only the SE and GT trims as the AWD options.

Safety Ratings What do the Safety Ratings mean? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) performs independent crash testing of new vehicles and then assigns them a score based on their performance. The overall crash test rating is based on how a vehicle performs in the following tests: Driver Crash Grade: Measures the chance of a serious injury to a crash test dummy that is placed in a driver's seat and driven into a fixed barrier at 35 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less chance of injury. Passenger Crash Grade: Similar to the driver crash grade, only now the focus is on the passenger. Rollover Resistance: Simulates an emergency lane change to measure the likelihood of a vehicle rolling over. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less risk of rollover. Side Impact Crash Test - Front: Focuses on the front side of a vehicle. It simulates crashes that can occur in intersections by striking a 3,015-pound weight against the side of a vehicle at 38.5 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 5 percent or less chance of injury. Side Impact Crash Test - Rear: Similar to the front side impact test only now the focus is on the rear passenger.
