Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mitsubishi Outlander than in the Audi Q3, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Mitsubishi Outlander offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi Q3, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.
