When I drove the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander, the first thing I noticed was how smooth and composed it felt behind the wheel. The four-cylinder engine produces about 177 horsepower, delivering steady acceleration that works well for commuting and highway driving. Driving through traffic around Buffalo and merging onto the I-90 felt easy and predictable.
The suspension handled rough pavement surprisingly well, helping the SUV stay stable and comfortable even over uneven roads. The available Super All-Wheel Control system also adds confidence when driving in rain or winter weather, which is especially important for drivers in Western New York.
