The Outlander�s fuel economy ranges from 25-31 MPG combined, depending on the engine and transmission. This is competitive with similar vehicles like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, which offer similar MPG ratings for their base models.

Q5

What are the recommended maintenance intervals?

Mitsubishi recommends oil changes every 7,500 miles or 6 months, tire rotations every 7,500 miles, and a comprehensive inspection every 15,000 miles. Always refer to the owner�s manual for detailed schedules.

Standard features include a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a rearview camera. Higher trims offer leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, and a premium Rockford Fosgate sound system.

Q7

How does the cargo and passenger space compare to competitors?

The Outlander offers 63.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded, which is slightly less than the Honda CR-V�s 75.8 cubic feet but comparable to the Toyota RAV4�s 69.8 cubic feet. Passenger space is ample, with seating for up to seven in the 3-row configuration.

Q8

The Outlander can tow up to 1,500 lbs with the 2.4L engine and up to 3,500 lbs with the 3.0L V6. Payload capacity ranges from 1,100 to 1,300 lbs, depending on the trim and configuration.
