In our tested nonhybrid Crosstrek, we noted a number of flimsy-feeling, hard-plastic surfaces throughout the cabin, but there were some soft-touch elements where hands and elbows fall. A 4.2-inch color LCD sits in the gauge cluster, which includes a display for power output and regenerative brake charging. The Hybrid also gets gray and blue two-tone leather on the seats, door panels, and armrests.
Subaru has used a blue color theme in the new car, with blue stitching and accent panels scattered about the cabin. Options included Ruby Black Pearl paint, carpeted floor mats.The 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid's interior is also very similar to that of the conventional Crosstrek. Questions or comments? Contact Don at Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV GTĪs tested: $42,920 (includes destination and handling) Instead, as gen-one sales continue to grow, preparations for the launch of an all-new 2021 Outlander proceed. Not long ago, insiders predicted Mitsu would toss the Outlander onto the discard pile. The Outlander boasts a generous 8.5 inches of ground clearance and the torque-vectoring AWD system can send 50 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels, where it can be further distributed side-to-side. The system utilizes Level 3 fast charging from a standard household outlet. It delivers an EPA estimated 74 MPG-e and 25 mpg combined when running on gasoline.Īs typical of hybrids, it’s paired with a CVT and is not tow-rated. The PHEV ($35,7950) produces a total of 197 horsepower and can run for 22 miles on battery power alone. The four can tow as much as 1500 pounds the six is good for 3500 lb. Under hard acceleration, the CVT produces the peculiar rubber-band feel and drone typical of less-sophisticated CVTs.Ī 224-hp V-6 is reserved for the AWD-only GT trim. The base four-cylinder engine makes 166 horsepower and is matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The Outlander is available with three powertrain choices. The GT can be fitted with a Touring package that adds adaptive cruise, automatic high-beam headlights, forward-collision mitigation and lane-departure warning. Lower trims are equipped with a blind-spot warning system, with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-change assist.
Standard halogen headlamps light up dark two-lane roads and LED headlights are available on the top-level, GT ($31,190). A vagueness at center allows the Outlander to wander in its lane. Steering feel is artificial and incommunicado. As could the front seats they are less supportive than most, with too-short bottom cushions and insufficient lumbar support. Fit-and-finish and materials quality could use attention. Wind and road noise are noticeable but not intrusive. The downside is abundant body lean - especially in corners - and a somewhat disconnected feel at highway speeds. In most circumstances, its compliant suspension settings produce a comfortable ride that shrugs off most broken road surfaces. Outlander’s suspension is tuned for comfort, not performance. The third row is for kids only Mitsubishi says third-row passengers should be no taller than 5-3. The up-level GT adds a pair of household-style outlets to the cargo area.įirst-and second-row passengers enjoy plenty of legroom and headroom in a cabin that is dated but serviceable. Depending on trim, the Outlander has as many as two USB ports and three 12-volt outlets.

Outlander’s standard features include cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, LED running lights and taillights, heated mirrors, rear privacy glass, second-row air vents, a sliding and reclining 60/40-split folding second-row seat, a 50/50-split third-row seat, Bluetooth connectivity, and a six-speaker sound system with a 7-inch touchscreen display, a USB port, voice controls and a rearview camera.Ī 7-inch touchscreen is standard and Mitsu’s infotainment system includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration. Still, it offers budget-minded buyers a solid value proposition. It isn’t as refined - or as capable - as the segment leaders.

The Outlander was last made-over in 2013 and though a series of updates have kept it in the hunt, it’s one of the segment’s senior members.
