Adult occupant

The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Mitsubishi showed that a similar level of protection would be provided for occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the side barrier test, the Outlander scored maximum points. In the more severe side pole impact, dummy measurements of rib compression indicated marginal protection of the chest. the seat and head restraint provided good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision.

Child occupant

The passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward facing restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. There is clear labelling in the car of the need to disable to the airbag before a rearward facing child seat is used in the front passenger seat.

Pedestrian

The bumper provided good protection to pedestrians' legs and scored maximum points. However, the front edge of the bonnet offered poor protection in all areas tested. In those areas likely to be struck by the head of a child, protection was predominantly marginal or poor. However, good protection was offered by the bonnet in most areas likely to be struck by an adult's head.

Safety assist

Electronic stability control is standard equipment on the Outlander and passed Euro NCAP's test requirements. A seatbelt reminder is provided as standard for the front and rear seats and all cars also have a driver-set speed limitation device.
