South Suburban Mitsubishi - Can the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander seat seven comfortably near Orland Park, IL?
Shoppers around Orland Park, IL often want a three-row SUV that balances everyday maneuverability with real-world family usability. At South Suburban Mitsubishi, our team helps you evaluate that balance in the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander, which delivers standard 7 Passenger Seating, thoughtful storage solutions, and flexible cargo configurations — all wrapped in a quiet, upscale cabin with available S-AWC for year-round confidence.
The core question is whether the Outlander’s third row and overall interior design work for daily life. The answer comes down to flexibility. The second row is adult-friendly, while the third row is ideal for kids and quick trips with extra passengers. With the third row folded, the Outlander opens up substantial cargo space for strollers, sports bags, or a week’s worth of groceries. Fold both rear rows flat and you unlock a long, level load floor for bulk runs or weekend projects. Pair that versatility with intuitive tech — including the standard 12.3" Smartphone-link Display Audio with Navigation — and the Outlander becomes a practical, modern companion for school runs, commute duty, and road trips alike.
Comfort and convenience features elevate the experience further. Available 3-Zone Automatic Climate Control on SEL helps everyone find a happy temperature, while SE models add a Power Liftgate with Adjustable Height to make curbside pickups and garage parking easier. An available Multi-View Camera System assists with tight spaces, and MI-PILOT Assist™ with Navi-link Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go, Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) supports more relaxed driving on busy Chicagoland highways. For sound, the Dynamic Sound Yamaha Premium (8 speaker) system brings impressive clarity, and the collaboration with Yamaha® Audio rounds out an in-cabin experience that passengers will appreciate on every drive.
Here is a quick, structured snapshot of space and usability to help you plan your day-to-day:
- Seating configuration: Standard 7 Passenger Seating with a roomy second row and a child-friendly third row
- Cargo with all rows up: Approximately 11 cu ft — enough for a compact stroller or a couple of book bags
