2015 Mitsubishi Outlander
small SUV / 4-door SUV
Award applies only to vehicles with optional front crash prevention
Small overlap front: driver-side
Rating applies to 2014-20 models
Tested vehicle: 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4 SE 4-door 4wd
The Mitsubishi Outlander was redesigned for the 2014 model year. These ratings also apply to the Outlander PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric) variant, which was introduced in the 2018 model year.

Action shot taken during the driver-side small overlap frontal crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained reasonably well.
The dummy’s head contacted the frontal airbag but then slid off the left side. The side curtain airbag extended far enough forward toward the A-pillar to protect the head from contact with side structure.
Intrusion into the driver's space was reasonably well controlled, and risk of injuries to the dummy's legs and feet was low.

Action shot taken during the passenger-side small overlap frontal crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the door frame and dashboard after the crash test indicates that the passenger's survival space was maintained reasonably well.
The frontal and side curtain airbags worked well together to keep the head from coming close to any stiff structure or outside objects that could cause injury.
Despite intrusion of the dashboard and door hinge pillar, risk of injuries to the dummy's legs and feet was low.

Moderate overlap front: original test
Rating applies to 2014-20 models
Tested vehicle: 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4 SE 4-door 4wd
The Mitsubishi Outlander was redesigned for the 2014 model year. Moderate overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Mitsubishi. (The vehicle tested by Mitsubishi was designated as a 2013 model but included all the design changes of the 2014 models.)
These ratings also apply to the Outlander PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric) variant, which was introduced in the 2018 model year.
