Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

For 2017, the Toyota RAV4 gains a host of driver assistance features as standard equipment, including a forward collision mitigation system, lane departure warning, automatic high beams and adaptive cruise. The range-topping Platinum trim level is new this year.

Pros
Quiet demeanor on the road makes it a pleasant commuter vehicle
Rides smoothly in a variety of conditions
Plenty of cargo space for its size
High-tech safety features come standard

Cons
Modest acceleration from the sole engine offering
Fewer easily accessible storage compartments than most competitors

The 2017 Toyota RAV4 ranks 11 out of 18 Compact SUVs. The 2017 RAV4 faces stiff competition in the compact SUV class. It trails several rivals in terms of style and performance, but it has impressive safety features in all trims and one of the most spacious cabins in its class.

Pros
Impressive list of standard features
Easy-to-use infotainment system
Spacious cabin

Cons
Unimpressive acceleration
Plastic-heavy interior

By: 
usnews.com

There's a RAV4 for just about everyone, and while we applaud Toyota for adding more safety technology for 2017, the competition is worth a good look, too.
The 2017 Toyota RAV4 is the latest in a long line of compact crossover SUVs to grace the automaker's showrooms.

Pros
Upgraded, roomy interior
Lots of standard safety tech
Wide range of models available
Improved ride and handling
Hybrid is intriguing

Cons
Not the most polished crossover to drive
No third row
Unimpressive fuel economy
Quirky styling

After a redesign just last year, the Mitsubishi Outlander gets a few more updates for 2017. The previously optional 6.1-inch touchscreen and rearview camera are now standard. New optional features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic high beams, a 360-degree camera system and a heated steering wheel. Mitsubishi has also eliminated its optional navigation system from the options list. Finally, all-wheel drive is now available on the base ES trim.

Pros
Generous list of standard features
Standard three-row seating.

Cons
Slow acceleration with the base four-cylinder
Some desirable features are available only on pricey and thirsty GT
Limited Mitsubishi dealer network.

By:

The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander provides functional family appeal for a reasonable price, but the powertrains are weak, the third-row seat space is tiny, and the infotainment features are behind the times.

Pros
Pleasant ride
Available active safety features
Third-row seat can be used in a pinch
Advanced all-wheel-drive system available
Quiet cabin

Cons
V-6 model too expensive
Bland, unassuming looks
Infotainment behind the curve
Tiny third row

By: 
thecarconnection.com

The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander ranks 17 out of 18 Compact SUVs. The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander has a high-quality interior and confidence-inspiring safety scores. It's also one of few compact SUVs that comes with a third row of seats, but they're too small for adults. It all goes downhill from there: dull performance, a rough ride, a hard-to-use infotainment system, and subpar predicted reliability.

Pros
Quiet cabin
High-quality interior materials
Standard third-row seating

Cons
Poor reliability rating
Underpowered engine
Rough ride
Few standard features
