Comparison Review

Comfort
The Jeep Wrangler offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Mitsubishi Outlander, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Jeep Wrangler and the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Jeep Wrangler as you will with the Mitsubishi Outlander, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Jeep Wrangler will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Mitsubishi Outlander, which has a much lower MSRP.

Handling
The Jeep Wrangler has a larger turning radius than the Mitsubishi Outlander, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Jeep Wrangler is clearly the choice over the Mitsubishi Outlander for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Jeep Wrangler greatly out-muscles the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Jeep Wrangler does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Utility
The Jeep Wrangler has less seating than the Mitsubishi Outlander, making the Mitsubishi Outlander the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Jeep Wrangler has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Mitsubishi Outlander.
