Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mitsubishi Outlander than in the Lincoln Aviator, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Lincoln Aviator offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mitsubishi Outlander, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
The Lincoln Aviator requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Mitsubishi Outlander, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Lincoln Aviator will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Mitsubishi Outlander, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Lincoln Aviator is much slimmer than the Mitsubishi Outlander, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Lincoln Aviator, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Lincoln Aviator is clearly the choice over the Mitsubishi Outlander for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Lincoln Aviator greatly out-muscles the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Lincoln Aviator does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Utility
The Lincoln Aviator has less seating than the Mitsubishi Outlander, making the Mitsubishi Outlander the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Lincoln Aviator has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Mitsubishi Outlander.
