The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

<p>The Mitsubishi Outlander was introduced in the 2003 model year.</p>
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the head contacted the head restraint and then moved forward and brushed the roof rail.
Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head acceleration from the roof rail hit was negligible.

Measures taken from the dummy indicate that serious skull fracture and/or brain injuries, plus rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries as well as a fracture of the pelvis would be likely in a crash of this severity. Serious neck injuries would also be possible.
Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
The dummy's head was hit by the pillar behind the rear passenger door. This pillar is required by federal standard to provide some protection for occupants' heads.

<p>The Mitsubishi Outlander was introduced in the 2003 model year.</p> <p>When side airbags are optional, as in this vehicle when it was tested, the Institute conducts the test without this option. If a manufacturer offering optional side airbags requests the Institute to conduct an additional test of a vehicle with this option and agrees to reimburse the cost of the vehicle, a second test is conducted. Mitsubishi did not request such a test.</p><p>Note: the 2006 model Outlander is equipped with standard side airbags for the driver and front passenger, so these ratings do not apply to 2006 models.</p>
The dummy's head was hit by the intruding barrier, producing high head injury measures.

Summary:
|
Stronger engine strengthens the appeal.
By Larry Edsall, NewCarTestDrive.com
The 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander has been upgraded significantly with its revised, more powerful powertrain.The Outlander, which makes an unusually strong styling statement in the compact sport-utility class, is smooth and quiet. While the Honda CR-V may seem a little smoother and the Toyota RAV4 a little more solid, the Outlander feels more stable at high speeds. It handles well on winding roads and its diminutive proportions make it easy to park and maneuver in tight, busy places. It also has excellent brakes. Available all-wheel drive adds capability and safety in wet or winter weather, but the two-wheel-drive model feels more agile and is a little more enjoyable to drive. The Outlander may not offer some of the special features that come with the big name brands, but it is competitively priced and provides an attractive choice for those who want carlike handling with roominess and versatility. |
|
Overview:
|
The 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander gets a new engine and transmission that give it a needed boost in performance. The 2004 Outlander offers more spirited acceleration than the 2003 model. Outlander is smooth and quiet, and feels rock steady at highway speeds. Similar in size and character to the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, the Outlander has four doors and a roomy cargo area that's easily accessible. Like other small crossover sport-utilities, the Mitsubishi Outlander offers elevated seating for better visibility. Outldander is neither tall nor tippy and its compact size helps it negotiate the often-hostile asphalt jungle. All-wheel drive is an option when the pavement disappears beneath snow and ice or dissolves into a dusty, rocky trail. Taut and toned, the Mitsubishi styling is bolder and more aggressive than the Honda, Toyota, or the similar-sized Subaru Forester. Aggressive pricing makes the Outlander an attractive alternative.
