2009 mitsubishi outlander review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. All models come with a full complement of occupant safety features. A gps navigation system featuring a seven-inch touch-screen is available with a hard disk for speedy data retrieval and recorded audio tracks. Formula 1-style magnesium shift paddles mounted on the steering column allow the driver to shift manually, while a keyless ignition system eliminates the need to fuss with keys. all outlanders are available with front-wheel drive (2wd) or all-wheel drive (4wd). Other changes for 2009 include some new features and trim details. The ls v6 model has been dropped. competitive performance, fuel economy, and interior space along with aggressive pricing make the mitsubishi outlander a compelling suv. lineupthe 2009 mitsubishi outlander is available with five-passenger or seven-passenger seating and comes in three trim levels. The es and se are powered by a 168-horsepower inline-4 coupled to a continuously-variable automatic transmission (cvt). The xls has a 220-hp v6 and a six-speed automatic. Both transmissions feature a sportronic manual override. the es 2wd 20,580) and 4wd 22,900) come with fabric upholstery, air conditioning, the usual power-adjustable features, cruise control with steering wheel-mounted switches, am/fm/cd/mp3 sound system with six speakers, 60/40-split rear seat, remote keyless entry, and p215/70r16 tires on steel wheels. Much of this equipment is exclusive to the se. Optional is the third-row seat package 500), which is not available on the es. the xls 2wd 24,580) and 4wd 25,980) have automatic climate control, six-cd changer, split second-row seats that recline as well as adjusting fore-and-aft, a third-row seat that stows under the floor, shift paddles, a functioning bluetooth interface, fog lights, passive keyless entry and ignition, and p225/55r18 tires on alloy wheels. option packages for the xls include the luxury package 1,650), which upgrades to leather seating in the first two rows, heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and auto-leveling xenon hid headlights. The navigation package 1,950) adds a 40gb hdd navigation system and a digital music server with cd/dvd capability and video input jacks. The sun & sound package 1,610) includes the 650-watt rockford-fosgate stereo, sirius satellite radio, a power glass sunroof, and a 115-volt power outlet. accessories from dealers include an entertainment system 1,740), navigation system 2,410), a trailer hitch 300), and wiring harness 80), plus a cargo cover 155), and numerous other appearance and protection items. safety features include front (seat-mounted) side-impact airbags, which protect the upper body from injury in side impacts; roof-mounted side-curtain airbags covering front and second-row seats, which minimize head injuries in side impacts; and active, front-seat head restraints, which cushion the head and neck in rear impacts. Up front is an understated, traditionally shaped grille opening with the three-diamond mitsubishi trademark floating on thin, horizontal bars. The lower portion of the front bumper opens into a large air intake above a skid plate-looking under-panel. Headlight covers blend cleanly into the surrounding fascia and fenders. the side view shows a sleek, rounded shape with deeply creased fender blisters that outline circular wheel wells, which are better filled by the 18-inch wheels than by the 16-inchers. The side glass tapers toward the back end, playing to the wedge look and ending in a substantial, sharply angular d-pillar. Front and rear bumpers flow seamlessly into their respective quarter panels. Easy-to-grip door handles sit atop full-round indents. the rear has a unified look. The liftgate reaches all the way down to the top of the bumper, which functions also as a small, fold-down tailgate designed to support up to 440 pounds -- so no worries sitting on it at tailgate parties. Many of the seams and lines draw the eye to the mitsubishi trademark centered in the lift gate. The spoiler topping the backlight extends directly from the roof. interiorinside, the outlander looks and feels upscale, quiet, and mature, with tasteful metallic trim and tighter integration of controls and fixtures. The front seats have deep bottom cushions that give good thigh support. Side bolsters do their job without being overly confining. Lumbar and height adjustment offer sufficient range to accommodate almost every body shape and dimension. Second-row legroom is among the best in the class. Headroom and hip room for second-row passengers is below average for the class. The second-row seats are split 60/40 for versatility with cargo and passengers. access to the third-row seat is surprisingly easy for a sport utility of this size. Once back there, though, the third-row seats are not comfortable for adults. The seat bottom and seat back are mere inches in thickness, and the seat sits so close to the floor that adult occupants' knees come to about shoulder height. The outlander's third-row seat comes up short against the rav4 by a couple of inches in every direction. And the rav4 seat is really a seat, with cushions instead of pads. collapsing the third-row seat into the cargo floor is relatively easy, requiring little more than pulling a couple straps and pushing where noted. Not so retrieving it. Even with the short tailgate, getting to.
