Compare Mitsubishi Outlander & Subaru XV Crosstrek & Honda CR-V

Mitsubishi Outlander vs Subaru XV Crosstrek

The team here at Shirlie Slack knows drivers from Fredericksburg, Richmond, Dale City and Woodbridge have a lot of options when it comes to compact SUV's and crossovers. But when you it stack up against the competition - the clear choice is Mitsubishi Outlander. From its eye-catching exterior to advanced technology upgrades and thrilling performance capability, it's the most impressive Outlander ever built. Read on to see how it compares to the class-similar Subaru XV Crosstrek.

• Outlander doesn't just have better city and highway MPG when compared to XV Crosstrek - it also has a better combined MPG than its class average. So no matter where your adventures take you - you'll be passing more than a few gas stations - unless it's time to load up on snacks.
• Subaru XV Crosstrek also lags behind Outlander in an array of tech categories. Want to remote-start your vehicle on a cold morning - or maybe utilize on-board navigation to find your way to a new trail or resort? Each come standard in Outlander - but in XV Crosstrek - you're out of luck.
• There is one category that XV Crosstrek leads Outlander in. Lucky for those who choose Mitsubishi is that it's price. A standard Subaru XV Crosstrek has an MSRP of over $1K more than Outlander. With fewer tech options and higher gas costs, however, it's tough to see what you're paying extra for.
  
  

• No one likes to be left behind. In the all-new Outlander, no one has to be. That's because there's plenty of room for seven people. Drivers of the Honda CR-V, meanwhile, might want to start drawing straws: it's only outfitted to seat five.
• Need power to improve your highway passing game? Outlander's 3.0L Naturally Aspirated Gas V-6 engine is capable of 224 horsepower - more than ample for city and highway driving, while the Honda CR-V's 185 horsepower output is better suited to the backroads.
• With standard safety features like pre-collision alert and lane departure warning, you can navigate Outlander with confidence knowing it's always got your back. But be prepared to go-it-alone with Honda CR-V - which lacks these features.
• Outlander's standard all-wheel drive powertrain has your back when you decide to take it off-road, or when weather conditions get a little dicey. The front-wheel drive CR-V, meanwhile, means you might want to bring along a shovel and some sand.

• When comparing the Mitsubishi Outlander and the Hyundai Tucson, one of the first things you will notice is that the former is much roomier. Its cargo volume is bigger than what is available with the Hyundai Tucson. That means you can pack more onboard the Mitsubishi. And to make things better, you can pop open the trunk with just the press of a button using the Remote Power Tailgate feature, making loading and unloading a breeze.
• As for performance, the Outlander will get you farther than the Tucson for two reasons. First, it has a larger fuel tank than its competitor. Second, most models have a Continuously Variable Transmission as a standard which can achieve better efficiency ratings. In other words, the Mitsubishi can travel longer distances without refueling as often as the Tucson.
• In addition to its economical capabilities, the Mitsubishi Outlander can also tow greater weights. Take for instance the maximum trailering load of its newest model which measures out to 1500 pounds. This comes out to a total of five hundred more pounds than what is offered by its rival, the Hyundai Tucson. This is all thanks to the higher torque readings of its MIVEC engine.
