0.06 -> Today we look at the Mitsubishi
Outlander. It is a 7 seater so let's see
4.47 -> how good it is as a Baby Drive.
23.59 -> In the second row of the Outlander
there's ISOFIX in both outer seats
27.369 -> they're not within plastic guides but I
did find them quite easy to connect to.
31 -> In the back of all three seats there's
top tethers. Now I did find with those
35.62 -> that I couldn't connect to them the
normal way, I had to actually turn the
39.34 -> clip around to get them to connect
because of the shape of the plastic
42.25 -> guide. And now I only managed to fit two
child seats in the back here because in
47.739 -> that central seat there's a seat buckle
that sticks up and it's completely solid
52.329 -> so I actually couldn't get any child
seat back into that position which is a
55.96 -> shame so I think there might actually
have been ruined for three across.
59.19 -> There's no top tethers or isofix in the
third row seats so I didn't install any
64.21 -> child seats back there. To access the
third row seats on this curbside, it's
70.45 -> the 60/40 split so this is a 60 side so you'd actually have to remove two child seats
75.13 -> if you had them installed there in order
to get through, because the seat they do
79.39 -> slide forwards and the backrest comes
forward. So you'd have to remove any
84.04 -> child seats installed in order to climb
through. These third right seats really
88.57 -> are quite impractical.
There's no Headroom at all I'm only 162
92.53 -> centimeters I can just sit here. There's
no leg room and there's no kick room
97.329 -> underneath that second row seat either.
With a child seat rear-facing installed
101.859 -> in the second row, the front passenger
can only just fit if they're six foot and
106.659 -> that wouldn't be for a long journey. And
there's no leg room behind at all in
111.49 -> that situation. In the third row there's
two cupholders on the right hand side,
115.689 -> they will hold a reusable or disposable
coffee cup but they rattle around.
119.38 -> They're not a great fit on the left hand
side, there is a little wedge, a good
123.069 -> place for an iPad or a book something
like that. In the second row of the
126.67 -> Outlander there's a fold down in the
central seat back that has two
129.97 -> cupholders, it they will hold a reusable
disposable coffee cup but they rattle
134.26 -> around a bit. There are two map pockets
and they are big enough to hold an iPad
139.27 -> but not conceal it and the door bins
in the back are quite small they're only
144.4 -> hold a 600ml. Storage in the front of
the Outlander isn't that great, there's
148.84 -> no glasses case and there's nowhere to
put your phone. There are two cupholders
152.409 -> in the front here. They will hold a
reusable or disposable coffee cup but
156.31 -> they rattle around in there. The central console storage box
159.58 -> is small as well. The glovebox it's not a
bad size, I could get my wallet in there
165.34 -> with the manual, and there's a little
shelf above that I could get my iPad in
168.61 -> as well.
The front door bins are bigger than in
171.069 -> the back which is good because I could
get a large refillable water bottle in
174.37 -> there and my iPad fitted in there too.
Let's see how much we can fit in the
178.42 -> boot of the Mitsubishi Outlander. When
using all seven seats
182.349 -> I could put four shopping bags in the
boot or the mountain buggy Nano compact
187.33 -> stroller and two shopping bags. When only using five seats I could fit 14 shopping
192.489 -> bags. Or the mountain buggy duet twin
stroller and four shopping bags. Or the
198.25 -> Britax flex tandem stroller and five
shopping bags. Or the mountain buggy
202.42 -> urban jungle single stroller and five
shopping bags. Or the mountain buggy Nano
207.16 -> compact stroller and ten shopping bags.
Or a medium-sized dog.
215.63 -> The Outlander is quite a comfortable
car to drive. I can feel the road surface
220.68 -> through the floor quite a lot though and
it is quite a noisy engine too. The media
227.16 -> system in the Outlander is actually
quite good - it does have apple carplay
230.76 -> and android auto which is really great
and just makes the whole thing a lot
234.12 -> easier to use. When you put it in reverse
you get quite good image and there's
239.85 -> also a button on your steering wheel
that you can press to change the camera
243.78 -> image on the left hand side. There's a
button down by your right knee where you
248.01 -> can turn on and off the parking sensors.
But you can't just mute the sound. So to
254.37 -> sum up with the Outlander, the seating
isn't that practical and the storage
258.87 -> inside isn't great either but it is a
relatively nice car to drive
263.52 -> just quite a practical nice little
family car.
