Like the ASX below it and the proper Pajero above it (not the sort-of ugly looking Pajero Sport), the Outlander is neither good looking, nor bad, but conservatively designed with enough modern flair to fit in at school pick-up without creating any bold statements or setting new trends.
Although the range is increasingly moving away from its roots as a soft-road 4WD, its maintained that typical SUV body-shape and, for the most part the new-ish front end (which it received in 2015) is one of the best things that’s ever happened to it, and still looks good now.
Inside, the Outlander has a modest flair thanks to small details like white-on-black stitching, a simple centre-dash layout, and use of carbon-fibre-look infills that’s not overdone.
