Positioned as the entry-level model, the new Outlander ES is available only as a front-driver, though it comes well-equipped with automatic headlights, a rear wiper, a tilt steering wheel, a trip computer, air conditioning, a height-adjustable driver's seat, keyless entry, and desirable safety items such as front-side and side-curtain airbags as well as antilock brakes and a tire-pressure monitoring system. A 140-watt sound system with speed-compensated volume plays CDs and MP3s, cruise control ensures a steady speed, and controls for the power windows and door locks are within easy reach.
