How it scores for you10 scores
A top-safety, three-row compact SUV with a 44-mile PHEV option, but its tiny cargo hold, modest power, and 1,500-lb tow rating limit its versatility.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 8 recalls were serious. About 7% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -2 points for its wider reputation.
5-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 4, side 5, rollover 4).
About $2,400 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 59% of cars we track.
11.7 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 2% of other SUVs we track.
Three-row seating is rare in the compact class, a plus for occasional extra passengers. Third row is small and cargo behind it limited at 11.7 cu ft.
Modest 181 hp gas engine offers adequate but uninspiring acceleration. Nissan-shared platform prioritizes comfort over engagement. PHEV adds torque but the Outlander is not a driver's car.
4th-gen brought a much-improved interior with available digital cockpit, larger touchscreen, and PHEV offering 44 mi electric range. Competitive but not class-leading tech.
Quiet, refined ride on the CMF platform with a notably upgraded cabin for the segment. Front seats comfortable; third row is tight, as typical for compact SUVs.
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
Rated to tow 1,500 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
