4 Answers
The body dimensions of the Outlander are 4705mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1680mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670mm. In terms of safety features, this vehicle is equipped with anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), brake assist, electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), traction control, electronic anti-theft system, engine immobilizer, and auto hold. Regarding powertrain, this model utilizes two engines: a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0L engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 186hp and peak torque of 201Nm, while the 2.4L engine produces 192hp maximum horsepower and 235Nm peak torque.
As a car enthusiast who frequently interacts with various models, I have personally measured the dimensions of the Outlander. It is 4710 mm in length, 1862 mm in width, 1740 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2706 mm. These dimensions are on the larger side for a compact SUV, especially the height, which is nearly 50 mm taller than the CR-V in the same class. The most noticeable feature when driving is the advantage of the high seating position, offering excellent visibility. The windshield has a small incline angle, and the blind spot caused by the A-pillar is well controlled. The trunk can accommodate four 28-inch suitcases with room to spare, and folding down the rear seats allows space for a surfboard. With a width close to 1.9 meters, navigating tight right-angle turns in older residential areas requires an extra half turn of the steering wheel.
Last week, I accompanied a friend to pick up the new Outlander and specifically brought a tape measure to check the dimensions. The vehicle is just over 4.7 meters long, equivalent to three Smart cars parked side by side. The 1.86-meter width is most noticeable in real-world use, especially when reversing in the rain as the side mirrors often collect water droplets. Notably, the 1,740mm height allows elderly family members to enter without stepping on a footboard. At 178cm tall, I have about two fists of headroom in the driver's seat, though the panoramic sunroof does eat into some of that space. The 2,706mm wheelbase provides ample rear legroom for crossing legs, and the modest center tunnel hump means no foot conflicts even with five passengers.
Compared the size difference between the Outlander and Highlander in the parking lot. The Outlander's 4710mm body length is 23cm shorter than the Highlander, but the wheelbase only differs by 6cm. In actual seating, the front legroom is almost identical. The 1862mm width is 4cm narrower, which allows it to barely fit into a 2.2m wide mechanical parking space. Key point about ground clearance: the unladen 210mm ground clearance with 18-inch wheels handles speed bumps quite decisively. The trunk depth of 98cm is inferior to the Crown, but the 12cm extra vertical height makes loading large potted plants more convenient.
