For 2009 Mitsubishi drops the mid-level V-6 Outlander from its compact crossover utility vehicle lineup and adds a third seat to its SE four-cylinder model. All three models--the base ES, as well as the upscale SE and V6 XLS--are available with either 2WD or 4WD. Mitsubishi makes the Convenience Package standard equipment on the ES 4WD model, and an optional third-row seat that's stowable under the floor is now available. The third row remains standard on the XLS model.
