The Outlander’s standard engine is a 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine that makes 181 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. It pairs exclusively with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Front-wheel drive is the standard configuration, but all-wheel drive is optional.Along with some new paint options, all 2024 Outlanders now benefit from “always on” automatic headlights, an LED rear fog lamp, and a back seat alert function – which reminds the driver at the end of a journey to check the rear seats.The Outlander rides comfortably over a variety of road surfaces. The front seats are also nicely padded and can keep passengers comfy even on long road trips. We also like that the Outlander is one of the few vehicles in this class with available climate controls for rear passengers
