"Diamond" released the next generation Outlander. For what? In Russia, this model was not sold for so long. For restyling there should always be good reasons, but there were no particular flaws or masses of negative feedback from disgruntled motorists. There were only minor defects of the designers, but they did not greatly interfere with the full-fledged process of operating the Mitsubishi Outlander. The updated model has created a serious competition to its opponent Honda CR-V. Considering the fact that in recent times, the struggle for the buyer among SUV manufacturers has reached its apogee, we decided to make a comparison of two cars and understand what is better: Honda CR-V or Mitsubishi Outlander.

On the basis of passenger "donors"
The external image of the crossover is not different unusual design solutions. It is also necessary to note the fact that both cars were built on the basis of their passenger "brothers". "Stranger" was built on the basis of Lancer, Honda also had its "donor". They were all well-known Honda Civic. The "passenger" origin of rivals will make the process of comparing and identifying the winner even more interesting. Outlander has a "wicked" appearance. Honda, too, has become a bit "more threatening" than before, but does not reach Mitsubishi.

Rogue against a cozy family car
When we get into the Salon of the Stranger, we immediately feel that its interior design is a formidable appearance. The center console has a sporty character, but the finishing materials could be the best.
If you look at the interior of the CR-V, then you might immediately think that you accidentally hit the Civic. Good quality finishing materials, as well as a screen with a simple interface for managing various systems, push us to assign Honda a victory. But here there are some minor nuances. Honda is a car for a quiet ride and rest, and Outlander is a pioneer.
Cars have a different purpose. Based on this, judging the “sporty and nasty” interior of the “Stranger” is strictly not necessary. On its background, Honda seems like a small car that cannot compete with it, but it turns out that it is half a centimeter higher than Outlander.
"In the shoulders" and with respect to the space for the legs of the rear passengers, the championship takes Mitsubishi. A minor drawback is the shape of the back seat sofa. Sofa cushion is a bit short for a complete feeling of comfort during long journeys. In the CR-V, passenger seats turned out to be much more convenient, although the backrest angle adjustment is absent here. A large person cannot enter the rear doors without effort..
In the "Stranger" rear door opening is wide enough, you can enter it without much difficulty. In the CR-V flat floor without tunnels, which is not typical for Outlander. There is a category of people who do not buy a car because of protruding elements on the floor, which prevent three passengers in the back seat from having a comfortable ride. Trunk

adom.ru in Outlander is about 110 liters smaller in volume, but this can be corrected by transforming the cabin. In the CR-V, the loading height is slightly lower than that of Mitsubishi, but there is no wide bumper on which you can put a bag or box until the fifth door is open. In the Honda there is no such advantage.
Will CR-V or Outlander be the winner in today's fight? This will become known after analyzing other characteristics, because with respect to the internal design both cars have their pros and cons, the number of which is approximately equal.
Powertrains and their behavior
On the domestic automobile market, the CR-V is supplied with a 2-liter engine. It can be equipped with automatic or mechanics. Completion with a manual transmission on the road behaves a little faster than the "automatic".
Test drive a car Mitsubishi Outlander:
"Stranger" has a top engine with a larger volume than the Honda, which allows him to start from a harsher place. But that’s where the advantages of the Outlander power unit end. Starting from the third speed, the engine gradually calms down and does not produce the expected results. Honda Motor behaves a little differently. From the spot, it does not “tear”, but makes the driver be confident in the quality control of acceleration at high speeds. He perfectly shows his ability when overtaking. Another advantage of the CR-V is the predictable behavior of the brakes, which is not typical for Outlander.
Маневрвенность
Turns "Stranger" enters boldly and without hesitation. If it was not possible to calculate the trajectory of entry, and there was a threat of skidding or departure from the road, the rear-wheel drive connection system comes to the rescue. Multi-plate clutch under the guidance of sensitive electronics will not let the car go into a skid.
Test drive a Honda CR-V car:
Honda cornering behaves very differently. It enters the turns gently and smoothly. The downside is the lack of smoothing irregularities and bumps suspension. As a result, this car can “jump off” from the planned trajectory of entering a turn. The rear-wheel drive connection system is not as clever as in Outlander. Entering a turnaround Honda, it is best to reset the gas first, because the results of rapid entry can be incorrigible. But as you know, the success rate in the passage of a turn is considered to be the exit speed with a turn. Here, Mitsubishi has a slight advantage.
A few words about the terrain
In the beginning, we recalled that the four-wheel drive of our current rivals appeared on the basis of passenger cars. This fact gives us an idea of the weak passable capabilities of the opposing sides, but given that they are referred to as crossovers, we need to compare them in this regard. Honda is considered a classic "SUV." The ground clearance of 170 mm and the low front bumper do not allow it to “smooth out” hard bumps and bumps. On the CR-V is best to ride on a flat road surface. Outlander more adapted to off-road. Geometry and transmission allow him to overcome obstacles on the road. That's just the motor does not always cope with the loads that occur during driving "off-road".
Summing up
Which car is better: Honda CR-V or Mitsubishi Outlander? For off-road driving, the “Stranger” is better suited. He is rapidly "tearing" from his seat, has a formidable attractive appearance and is well included in the turns. In conjunction with a fairly spacious interior of its characteristics and comfort is slightly higher than that of Honda.
The CR-V has a more relaxed character, family-friendly coziness and a smooth, but steady ride. Honda is best used for movement on flat roads.
