Boardman Mitsubishi proudly announces the all-new 2022 Outlander, winner of the Wards 10 Best Interiors award.

So, if you're looking to upgrade your Boardman, OH commute with a capable and stylish SUV and a comfortable space for up to seven people, we recommend taking a close look at the 2022 Outlander.

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Trim Levels

2022-mitsubishi-outlander-trim-levels-fairfield-oh.jpgMitsubishi offers the Outlander in seven trim levels. Don't worry if we don't have your desired trim in stock. We can easily custom order an Outlander to your specifications and have it delivered fast. The base model ES 2.5 2WD comes equipped with premium cloth upholstery, cloth door inserts, and a knee pad on the console for additional comfort. The driver's seat features power lumbar support, and the second-row split/folds in a 40/20/40 pattern to accommodate various cargo and passenger configurations. A tilt and telescoping steering wheel allows you to adjust your controls for precise operations.

Additional convenience features include an eight-inch smartphone link display audio system with six speakers, remote keyless entry, and push-button start. Your infotainment system comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth technology preloaded, enabling hands-free operations. Two USB ports in the front come standard. In addition, the steering wheel features all your audio and cruise controls. Finally, a dual-zone climate control system uses micron air filtration for cleaner cabin air.

A Black Edition version offers two- or all-wheel-drive platforms with a sleek, blacked-out exterior design. The Black Edition adds to the base model features with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, synthetic leather suede upholstery, and an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat. Other upgrades include a power panoramic sunroof, Google Assistant, a wireless charging pad, and two USB ports in the second row.

The SE 2.5 2WD model builds on the Black Edition with features such as heated front seats and a 9-inch touchscreen display with built-in navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay. You also enjoy the FAST-Key entry system with push-button start and the Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard and Remote Services on a 24-month free trial. 

Mitsubishi's SE Tech trim gives you the option of two- or all-wheel drive, along with access to an array of driver-assist technologies. In the SEL Special Edition trim, you’ll find even more comfort and convenience features, such as a three-zone climate control system, a memory function for the driver's seat, and side view mirrors you can activate with your key fob. Premium leather upholstery elevates your comfort, and the front passenger seat features four-way power operation. Quilted leather door inserts add sophistication, while the machined aluminum shift panel and satin chrome trim deliver a refined look.

Both the SEL and SEL Touring trims feature heated rear outboard seats in premium leather upholstery. Additional upgrades include LED interior lighting, a 12.3-inch full digital driver information display screen, and exterior upgrades to the wheels, trim, and other elements.

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Dimensions

To earn the Wards 10 Best Interiors award, the Outlander needed space to go with the luxurious appointments. The Outlander seats seven passengers in comfortable quarters, and we've detailed the interior dimensions in the table below.

First Row Head Room 40.6 inches
Second Row Head Room 39.1 inches
Third Row Head Room 34.5 inches
First Row Shoulder Room 57.9 inches
Second Row Shoulder Room 55.9 inches
Third Row Shoulder Room 51.2 inches
First Row Leg Room 41.7 inches
Second Row Leg Room 39.9 inches
Third Row Leg Room 18.7 inches

Mitsubishi designed the Outlander to adjust to various cargo needs with folding second- and third-row seats. You get 11.7 cubic feet of space behind the third row while folding the third row increases the space to 33.5 cubic feet. You enjoy an expansive 79.7 cubic feet of cargo room with the second and third rows folded flat.

Mitsubishi Outlander Vs. the Competition

Competition for the Outlander in the midsize SUV category doesn't exist. You have the Subaru Forester and Outback, the Honda CR-V, and the Volkswagen Tiguan to consider, but only the Tiguan offers seven-passenger seating like the Outlander. Subaru Forester and Outback seat five, as does the CR-V from Honda. In addition, Subaru has the Ascent, and Honda has the Pilot — two SUVs that fall into the full-size segment — so it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison.

In any event, the Subaru Forester and Outback are priced about the same as the Outlander, yet without the third row. Subaru's Ascent costs nearly $10,000 more than the Outlander. You find the same pricing disparity with Honda's two- and three-row SUVs. As a result, buyers see more value in Mitsubishi's Outlander. In addition, you can take advantage of current Mitsubishi incentives for even more savings.

The Outlander also offers more standard luxury features than the Honda CR-V, Subaru Outback, and Subaru Forester. Honda and Subaru favor faux-leather synthetic upholstery over genuine leather, while Mitsubishi uses semi-aniline leather for a premium look and feel. You also enjoy more standard luxury appointments in the Outlander, such as a leather-wrapped and heated steering wheel, upscale leather and satin chrome trim, and other premium furnishings throughout the cabin.

Cargo space behind Outlander's third row is much smaller than the competition, but only because the CR-V, Forester, and Outback don't include the third row. You see similar numbers when comparing the space behind Outlander’s second row against the competition. The Volkswagen Tiguan offers the best comparison to the Outlander, and the Outlander scores even or beats the Tiguan for comfort, convenience, and space in every category.
