Money moves fast, so pay attention. Japanese automaker Mitsubishi provides a snappy-looking, less than $20,000 sport utility-wagon via the all-new Outlander. Sharing the Lancer car platform, Outlander (sold as Airtrek in Japan) is offered in front wheel or full-time all wheel drive. With two trim options (LS and XLS), Outlander’s chiseled features net the vehicle a drag coefficient of 0.43 – meaning its aerodynamic attributes shave past the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV, and Subaru Forester. Outlander is powered by a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder that produces 140 horsepower at 5000 rpm. The muscle is satisfying, but a V6 option would provide those who desire more power an alternative choice. Standard appointments (whether LS or XLS trimmed) include front and rear stabilizer bars, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, electric rear window defroster with timer, air conditioning, 12-volt power outlets, rear seat center armrest, and map lights. The interior – while far from exotic – does have some appealing touches, such as circular vents that close flush and open via a tap to the bottom indent. The rear seat armrest features a dual cup holder, but the design could be improved with a sturdier beverage storage zone. Per gallon mileage estimates for the two-wheel drive Outlander are 21 city/26 highway. MSRP is $19,490.
