COMFORTABLE THIRD ROW SEATS
Padding and springs in the third-row seat cushions contribute to riding comfort. You can recline the seatbacks to any of four settings.

Power the OUTLANDER with your choice of three clean and efficient engines — the 2.0-liter MIVEC*, 2.4-liter MIVEC or 3.0-liter V6 MIVEC. The 2.0 and 2.4-liter engines are extremely responsive and fuel efficient, while the highdisplacement V6 engine supplies supremely powerful acceleration even when carrying heavy loads or traveling up mountainsides.

Fully pressing the pedal now generates powerful response with the automatic transmission’s step-up shift like exhilaration and reduced engine noise. For manual-like driving pleasure, you can also take advantage of the 6-speed Sports Mode and paddle shifters.
