Along with the Volkswagen Tiguan, the Outlander is one of the rare compact SUVs to offer three-row seating. Now built on the same platform as the Nissan Rogue, it was completely redesigned a year ago. For 2023, the biggest news is the debut of the second-generation Outlander PHEV, a plug-in hybrid model promising up to 61 km of zero-emission range. Gas-powered units instead rely on a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine producing 181 horsepower.
