Safety Features
Outlander displays aspects of Mitsubishi philosophy

With active stability control, anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, daytime running lamps and available multi-mode all-wheel drive, Mitsubishi Outlander helps you avoid accidents.
Outlander's active safety features are emblematic of Mitsubishi's all-wheel control engineering philosophy. Outlander has an aluminum roof to lower the center of gravity for the same reason.
Outlander comes standard with six airbags including advanced, dual-stage front airbags and side-impact and roll-sensing curtain airbags for all trim levels. A tire pressure monitoring system is standard equipment on every Outlander. Properly inflated tires give you better control, but they also return better gas mileage and help prevent blowouts.
The wraparound cabin preservation structure refined impact safety evolution (RISE) on the Outlander helps preserve a survival space for the vehicle occupants. Reinforcement welds encircle the cabin, enabling a more ideal energy absorption in case of a front, side or rear collision.
The Outlander we test drove was powered by a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine achieving 168 horsepower. Estimated gas mileage was 20 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway.
