Yet another positive review for the redesigned 2014 Outlander, by wildsau.ca, on 06/14/2013, at the Mitsubishi Motors Canada Press Event:
"I was in a 4-cylinder Outlander with a CVT transmission. It puts out 166 horsepower at 6000 RPM and 162 lb.ft of torque at 4200 RPM. It held its own, even on the uphills. The engine gets a touch coarse in the higher revs, but it rarely needed to soar to those RPMs. It was only on the steepest climbs that the engine felt like it was working hard. The ride was very smooth and controlled and the handling is quite good for a three-row SUV."
"We ascended to where the road ends. You simply can’t drive any further up the mountain, and very few dare to get this far. The Outlander (still the 4-cylinder CVT one) performed like a champ. It never felt out of breath, and had plenty of torque to make the climb. It soaked up the big hits as gracefully as the little ones."
"I never questioned that the Outlander was in complete control. Power always seemed to be sent to where it was needed, and though it was uncomfortable because of the terrible road, I was impressed that I never heard a single rattle or squeak from the cabin which was being tossed about the entire way up. And down."
