Mitsubishi Outlander 2nd Gen

2007–2013 · CW · suv

Second-generation Outlander. Built on the Mitsubishi/PSA GS platform, sibling to the Peugeot 4007 and Citroen C-Crosser in markets where those were sold. Engines: 2.4L 4B12 I4 (~168hp) and 3.0L 6B31 V6 (~220hp). 6-speed automatic on V6, CVT on I4. FWD or 4WD. Optional third-row jumpseat made it one of the cheapest three-row crossovers available. Mid-cycle facelift for 2010 with revised styling.

Watch out: The CVT on I4 cars is the dominant ownership risk. JATCO-supplied unit shared with Nissan-era vehicles of the same generation, similar failure pattern. The V6 with the conventional 6-speed automatic is the more durable powertrain choice. Body and interior trim are cheaper-feeling than the contemporary Japanese competition; mileage on stuck/broken switches and minor electronics by now is high. Otherwise mechanically straightforward.
