The Mitsubishi Outlander is the Japanese firm's contender in the compact 4x4 class. Competing with established rivals like Land Rover's Freelander, unusually, the Outlander benefits from a third row of seats. They’re small, but for those occasions you’ve a couple more children to carry they’re useful. The styling is tidy inside and out, and people carrier-like features such as sliding, easy-fold seats make it a practical choice. The Outlander is now available with front-wheel drive, which improves fuel economy at the expensive of off-road ability, although many Outlanders will never see terrain more challenging than a gravel car park.
