All-Weather Capability and Handling (AWC - All-Wheel Control):
- All-Wheel Control (AWC): Mitsubishi's All-Wheel Control (AWC) system provides enhanced traction and stability in various weather conditions, including rain, snow, and light off-road situations. This is a key selling point for buyers in areas with inclement weather.
- Improved Handling and Control: AWC improves handling and control in slippery conditions, providing a more confident driving experience.
Practicality and Versatility (Three-Row Seating):
- Three-Row Seating: The Outlander offers three-row seating, making it a versatile option for families who occasionally need to carry more passengers. (It's important to note that the third row is best suited for children or smaller adults).
- Useful Cargo Space: Even with the third row up, the Outlander offers a usable amount of cargo space. Folding down the third row significantly expands cargo capacity for larger items.
Features and Comfort (Touring Trim):
- Upgraded Interior Features: The Touring trim typically includes upgraded interior features compared to lower trims, such as leather seats, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver's seat.
- Technology Features: The Touring trim usually includes a good selection of technology features, such as a touchscreen infotainment system, a rearview camera, and potentially a sunroof or premium sound system.
- Comfort and Convenience Features: The Touring trim often adds features like dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry with push-button start, and rain-sensing wipers.
Value Proposition:
- Often Offered at a Competitive Price: The Outlander, even in the well-equipped Touring trim, was often offered at a competitive price compared to other compact SUVs with similar features and three-row seating
