Driving Impression

 

The 2014 V6 has more power, but it’s still not as much fun to drive as the other competitor’s with V6s and turbocharged four-cylinder engines found in rival models.

 

The 2014 Outlander has a comfortable ride and handling is OK.  The Outlander is lacking a sporty feel and handling. My biggest single complaint is the sound of the doors when you slam them , which is a very tinny noise.

 

 

 

Under the Hood

 

Under the GT’s hood is a 3.0-liter V6 that produces 224 hp and 215 lb-ft of torque, which is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

 

With the 3.0-liter V6, the Outlander’s fuel economy is 20 City /28 Highway / and 23 overall.
