SUVs continue to be one of the most popular types of vehicles in the US, 2nd only to trucks according to Car and Driver. They remain a top choice because of their impressive passenger legroom and overall comfort. When it comes to storage, they are versatile enough to be converted to gain more storage. SUVs also have the body and engine to handle trailers and other attachments.
According to Mitsubishi Cars, sales have increased across Mitsubishi's current SUV line-up. Although general sales slumped because of the discontinuation of the Mitsubishi Mirage, the increasing popularity of the current line-up is generally promising for the car brand.
Mitsubishi Outlander - Versatile Flagship SUV
When it comes to family SUV, the Mitsubishi Outlander can easily challenge the best in the market. The powerful family SUV comes with the following specs:
- Length: 185.4 Inches
- Width: 73.3 Inches
- Height: 68.7 Inches
- Wheelbase: 106.5 Inches
The Outlander features a standard three-row seating allowing more passengers. While it's a perfect vehicle as a family transportation, it also comes with generous storage especially when the rear seats are folded. The Outlander has a total of 79.7 cu. Ft. of cargo space is available for the Outlander.
Its strongest argument as an SUV choice is its price. The base price of the latest Outlander is only $29,995 while its PHEV model starts at $40,445. For comparison, the 2025 RAV4 Limited AWD starts at $41,095 and the latest Nissan Rogue Platinum AWD will set you back at $39,980.
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross - Sporty and Practical SUV
City dwellers looking for a more compact SUV with an option for weekend drive will not be disappointed with the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.

- Width: 71.1 Inches
- Height: 66.5 Inches

Its sporty look definitely makes the compact SUV a head turner. The 1.5 Turbocharged Engine should be more than enough for a weekend adventure with fuel economy for daily commute. Inside, the vehicle comfortably seats five passengers, and its 8-inch touchscreen dashboard provides entertainment and advanced controls.
Speaking of controls, the Eclipse Cross takes full advantage of Mitsubishi's Super All-Wheel Control. This feature goes beyond AWD, helping the vehicle adapt to road conditions and weather. It only has limited space compared to the Outlander (50.1 cu. ft.) but should be more than enough for a small family.
