The new Mitsubishi Outlander has been a fantastic surprise for our family here in Dubai. It strikes a perfect balance for our lifestyle. It’s spacious enough for my kids and all their beach gear, yet it doesn’t feel like a huge boat to drive in city traffic. The 2.4-liter engine provides plenty of power for confident merging on Sheikh Zayed Road.

We’ve even taken it on a few gentle desert picnics, and it handled the soft sand with ease. The air conditioning is a true hero, cooling the large cabin incredibly fast after a morning in the sun. For a car with this much space and capability, the running costs are very reasonable, which is a huge plus.

It’s not a luxury brand, but it’s packed with features, comfortable, and incredibly practical. For a family wanting one reliable car for city and weekend adventures, the Outlander is a brilliant choice.
