Despite having a modern design language, the Mitsubishi Outlander still has the quintessential old school silhouette, thus making it look butch and muscular. The high raised bonnet, sleek shoulder line, high ground clearance and side body cladding all give the Mitsubishi Outlander a good stance.
For a premium midsize SUV, the Mitsubishi Outlander is loaded with a number of comfort and convenience features which do give it a premium appeal in and out. With features like leather upholstery, sunroof, 8-way power-adjustable driver seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and electric parking brake, the Outlander feels plush for an SUV of its price.
With a good length, width and wheelbase, the Mitsubishi Outlander feels incredibly spacious on the inside. There is ample amount of space with great knee room, shoulder room and legroom in all the three rows of seats, which makes the Mitsubishi Outlander one of the most spacious and comfortable SUVs in its category.
The Nissan X-Trail is the only SUV in its segment which comes with a petrol hybrid engine option, apart from the regular conventional petrol engine. The petrol-hybrid engine in the Nissan X-Trail not only feels more smooth and refined but also trumps other SUVs when it comes to fuel efficiency.
With the presence of safety features like lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring system, forward collision warning, and forward emergency braking, the Nissan X-Trail is one of the safest premium SUVs in its category.
For a premium SUV, the Nissan X-Trail has a good balance of comfortable ride quality and good driving dynamics. The SUV, despite having a high ground clearance, has negligible body roll, which makes the overall driving experience very pleasurable.
The Mitsubishi Outlander is equipped up to the brim with comfort and convenience features. However, the overall layout and design of the dashboard feel somewhat dated and too simple for a premium SUV of this size.
The Mitsubishi Outlander is powered by a powerful 2.4-litre petrol engine, which has great power delivery. However, the problem is with the relatively low fuel efficiency which makes the running costs quite high of the premium SUV.
The CVT gearbox is convenient to use in city traffic conditions. However, in longer driving cycles, the gearbox feels lethargic and has a rubber band effect which might irritate all those people who love driving.
While the front and second row of seats in Nissan X-Trail are very plush and spacious, the third row of seats suffer from low space levels. Both the legroom and knee room are very low, which makes them best suitable only for small kids.
The recent facelift of the Nissan X-Trail has made it quite eye-pleasing this time, however, it still lacks the road presence of other conventional full-size premium SUVs available at its price.
While the Nissan X-Trail feels solidly built-in and out, the design of the central console on the dashboard is a bit unappealing. The presence of a number of buttons around the infotainment system makes it look a bit cluttered.
So, wanna buy a crossover? Well, there are ample options available in the market like the Nissan X-Trail, Mazda CX-5, Honda CR-V, Mitsubishi Outlander and many more. In this articl...
