2017 Mitsubishi Outlander ES 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
76 of 76 people found this review helpful
Update (8/8/17): I've driven this car over 10,000 miles now, performed multiple oil changes which are comparatively easy, taken her on a 3,000 mile road trip through the mountains and down the coast of California, and loaded plenty of cargo she probably wasn't designed to haul (brick, wood, etc.). She's handled it all like a champ with a few exceptions. First, the trip panels over the roof mounted seat belt and other miscellaneous interior trim pieces are easy to knock out of place and rather difficult to fit back in. Second, if you store anything in the hidden storage compartment, you have no access to it unless you're not hauling cargo. Third, with the 60% middle seat folded flat, the cargo storage area between the front seats only opens part way. These are all tiny complaints but good to know, nonetheless. New things I've found that I love are as follows: With the back seat cushions folded up (step 1 in folding them flat) but leaving the seat-back in place, the indents are a perfect place to transport a propane tank and you can even strap it in with the belt. It's almost like Mitsubishi wanted it that way, it's fantastic. I transport 2 tanks at a time to the propane store with no worries about getting the upholstery dirty or the tanks damaging bits in the back while rolling around. Second thing is that if you move the front passenger seat all the way forward, remove the head rest, and recline the seat all the way back, then fold the 2nd row seat-back down (skip step 1, folding the cushion up), it creates a 2 foot by 8 foot area to transport 8 foot long lumber. It still won't haul a 4x8 sheet of plywood but it'll handle 2x8 strips and any 8 foot lumber I can fit in there and that's fine with me. Original Review (2/7/2017): I knew going to the dealership what the pros and cons were of this vehicle but I desperately needed to replace my 15 year old daily driver with something better. I weighed the options and considering that this is the 3rd car in our driveway and didn't need many bells or whistles, so I chose the ES model for its overall value. I truly enjoy driving this car everyday and it does exactly what it's supposed to do, get me from point A to point B with zero issues or worries. She's a very nice looking SUV, has plenty of room for cargo, drives perfectly sound and true, isn't to loud, handles the elevation changes like a champ, and is very comfortable including in/egress. The trip computer is nice but sometimes a little goofy as is the radio but it's nice that it has a 6.1" touchscreen with bluetooth standard, not many cars include that in the lowest trim level. I got a great deal on the car with the help of a pre-approval from my finance company and I've gone from filling the tank once a week with premium fuel to filling it once every two weeks with mid-grade fuel. I'm very aware that many people will have complaints about little things but as I said initially, the total value and amenities provided by my Outlander are exactly what I was looking for in a tidy and attractive package. Ownership level: 2+ months; purchased in November 2016; review written 2/7/2017

I have the 2017 GT V6.This SUV is made 100% in JAPAN,so quality is excellent.The so called "experts",claim that the GT model is a gas guzzler which I can assure you IT IS NOT,i'm getting 28 to 29 miles per gallon hwy and about 23 city.compare the rest of the V6's out there and you'll find that actually this does way better than most.i'm also amazed how well the seats are designed.Went on a 1000 mile trip and both me and my wife were amazed how good we felt after 5,6 hrs in the seat.Power from the V6 engine is good,the 6 speed automatic works flawlessly and the paddle shifters are a lot of fun.The only thing that I wish it had is a panoramic sunroof instead of the regular one that comes standard on the GT.Definitely would recomend buying this SUV,go take a test drive for yourself and I'm sure you'll agree.

39 of 39 people found this review helpful
7 year update- We've had zero problems. Just oil changes, filters, and general maintenance is all. and 6-year update- No issues, It's our Swiss Army knife; City, road trip, daily. Tap the shifter over while merging or going up steep hills and it will hold revs and move out. Leave it alone and it will be gradual and efficient. 5 year update- Still a place we like spending time in. Still zen to own and operate. With a growing family, the 2nd row middle passenger seat is tight width-wise but that is the smallest individual seat in it. With that said, the 3rd row fits 2 high back boosters no sweat so there’s always been a way to make everyone happy. Operating costs are still remarkably low. Love that. 3 year Update: Still is a pleasure to drive and own. Review still holds up 100%. Something to note: We drive it almost always in normal mode and that is really where to keep it in our opinion, as pushing the eco button yields a less responsive throttle and a less stable feel at speed... just something to keep in mind if you are test driving one. The Snow mode is amazing in winter driving. We test drove everything in and near the compact to midsize SUV segment and were surprised and most impressed by the Outlander and bought it after test driving everything else from the Rogue to the all new Tiguan. 1yr Update: We still could not be more pleased to be driving the Outlander SEL AWC. No regrets, not one. Every part of this review still holds up, about 1 year later. Update: 2 years later-> Everything we’ve stated still holds true. This is a awesome vehicle. If I had one item for Mitsubishi to improve, it would be using thicker glass for the windshield, which seems to attract chips. *Maintenance costs are very very low. We dealer maintain our Outlander and the service is highly personal, with no stress. It fits: It's a really functional size, has good visibility, and gets 25-30mpg consistently which makes it great for commuting and being the family car. It's a car you like to spend time in. It shuts out the traffic and drama =zen. It is quiet, relaxing, well built/thought out, and is very sure footed in normal AWD mode. The cvt transmission: is shift point free in auto mode, very smooth, and absent of the delays in acceleration found in transmissions with gears. It reminded us of the LEAF. It keeps the engine in the powerband and isn't limited by set ratios. Tap the shifter over and it will hold the ratio and rpm which is great when it’s loaded up with 7 people and you are merging or off-roading. The Outlander's 4wd system is simply incredible and keeps the Outlander in control in the snow/ice without drama. Off-road, this thing is very very capable. I took it up a loose gravel 40% grade at a crawl and it just went up it without pause even getting one wheel off the ground from a rut! On the stock all-season toyo tires! Impressive. Interior usability is good: The 2nd row seats slide and adjust and are great for car seats (keep in mind the middle 2nd row seat is small). We keep the third row folded down mostly (it disappears into the floor) but if you are under 5'11" it's actually pretty comfortable. You can put two child seats in the middle and left side leaving the right middle row seat open for access to the third row. You can also put 5 high back boosters in the 2nd and 3rd rows without much drama as well should the occasion arise. The engine had way less plastic engine parts than the Nissans, Toyotas, or especially the VW which the entire front engine was plastic) This is the stuff that degrades after 120k miles, out of warranty. This is a well built vehicle that is fun and relaxing to live with everyday. We still love it 2 years on! Now going on 5+ years since we bought it new, it is still the vehicle the family prefers to be in and has proven to be impeccably reliable and versatile. The large interior volume combined with the small exterior dimensions has really come in handy.

2017 Mitsubishi Outlander GT 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
59 of 60 people found this review helpful
I own this car and bought it after very extensive research and months of test driving cars. I drove both the 2.4 and 3.0 version, settled on the GT with touring package. I have previously owned Saab's, Audi's and still own a Honda. There is just no comparison of value for money - I fit three kids in the 2nd row, and yes the third row is smaller than my Honda Pilot, but manageable for the few days per year I really need it. Safety features are outstanding and work in real life driving. Ok, it doesn't drive at the same level as some of the new BMW/Acura/Mercedes models I tested - but realistically I am getting 90% of what I would utilize from those cars for 50% of the price. For my daily commute and moving kids around to and from school and weekend road trips this is an amazing car. I recommend people to actually research AND test drive this car - many people will find it surpasses most of the competition in value, performance, comfort!

Update 2/2021: The car is still going strong and dependable, with the only costs were for routine maintenance. I don't need a fancy car, and this one serves my purpose. One word - I love it and am very satisfied. Update 8/2020: I keep loving my Outlander. It's always been reliable, dependable and low maintenance. Very satisfied with this car since we bought it. No complain whatsoever! Update: My 2017 Outlander has gone super strong, and very reliable. No issues whatsoever; the only expenses were for the scheduled maintenance. On the interstate, we easily got 34-36 mpg. We don't need a SUV with a big engine, which unnecessarily increases our spending on gas. I have owned a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander with 33K miles on it. This car is indeed a hidden gem! It handles great on the road, not to mention that the acceleration is decent and reasonable for a car with V4 engine, not like what so-called experts say 'kind of sluggish'. I owned and drove many different makes and models in the past, including Honda, Toyota, Mazda, KIA, Hyundai, Ram and Ford. Mitsubishi and Ford are the best cars I have driven thus far. My Outlander drives so smooth on the Interstate, and very quite - the level of road noise is much better than Mazda or Honda. Also, once a while we need a couple of extra seats for a short trip. The fact that Mitsubishi Outlander comes with a third row seating, it serves our purposes. Overall, I've been completely satisfied with the way this car performs.

I purchased the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL trim with the SAWC. It's a 4 cyl, and that part of the deal makes the vehicle light on performance. It's got this grind when taking off from a dead stop if you're on the gas, and in my honest opinion its just slow. The vehicle does offer a lot of bang for the buck, but not in the performance department. It is a stylish vehicle and i like that. The tech is outstanding! You'd pay a lot more cash for many of the standard options that come with the vehicle. If I had to do it over again I would not buy the 4 cly, I'd get the V6 hands down which is about 4-5G more. That may have come down some since I purchased mine back in December 2016. Oh, the paint is another problem. You will get paint chips when you first hit the road. I have the cosmic blue and the paint chipping stands out like a soar thumb. I plan to buy the hood protector, but Mitsubishi could have done a much better job with the paint coat, at least for the hood area. Trust me that issue really ticks me off. Like others have commented it is a very nice vehicle for the money, but look around before you buy this vehicle. I would recommend the vehicle to anyone is looking for nice standards, reasonable cost, outstanding warranty and a great stereo system this car get's five stars in those categories. Mostly everything else is about middle of the road, and performance is not great.

Just bought mine last night; traded out of a 2017 Jetta S and what a difference! Frankly, I wanted the Outlander first but got a better deal on the VW; however, a good deal is not that good if you can't live with the car daily. We needed something bigger for road trips and box store runs that would fit a family of 4 and 2 dogs. After 3 days (2 night test drive included) we are over the moon, as they say. Had I listened to any number of negative reviews, rather than reading actual, real world owner reviews, we would have paid several thousand more for much less vehicle. The pros are awesome MPG (averaging over 35 combined, but I drive to keep the tree green), lengthy standard features list (especially in SEL trim, which is why it we chose it over a cheaper SE), comfort (front seats, ride, NVH; my 7 mile old Jetta already had a nasty rattle in the driver's door that no dealer could fix), great ingress and egress, very good infotainment system (base system rocks; IMO not worth upgrading to the optional system), easily garage -able and very good value for the dollar. The cons are mostly nit-picking; that smaller size limits interior space. However, we bought it knowing that 3rd row was not going to be used, and needed more space than the Sport model had (Sport also cannot tow, and we need that capability). It lacks all the current active safety features, which are included only in an expensive package. At least BSM and RCW should be standard. The camera lines do not turn unless, again, you upgrade to that expensive package, which included 360 surround. You have to take your eyes off the road to scroll through SXM folders as the wheel control will only scroll through what's on the current folder. Finally, there needs to be more info available in the dash. Even basic vehicles these days come with a minimal TFT screen, and it would be nice to see what's playing on the radio or what speed my CC is set at. Overall, as another review said, this is an undiscovered gem in a crowded market. I'm hopeful the Nissan really infuses some cash into this brand, and can't wait to see what the next gen will look like (though it will, most likely, also compete in a higher price bracket, taking another affordable option off the market).

Update** I have owned my Outlander now for over two and a half years and I still LOVE it!!! I would absolutely buy another one and was tempted with a 2020 at the Mistubishi dealer! Ha! The one thing I thought it really needed was AC/Heat control in the back seat and they have actually added it now! We drive to NC quite a bit and back from CT and it is a breeze! So comfortable- Cannot wait until I can get a newer one! And then maybe I will have two! Or get the Eclipse Cross! I absolutely love my car! I purchased it at the end of November 2017. It's only been two months but I feel like I drive a luxury vehicle for almost half the price!! The dealership is outstanding! I had a leased Mazda CX-5 and the Outlander blows it away! And I pay $15 more a month and I own it! I liked the Mazda CX-9 but never drove it as I was not paying almost 50k for a car. I stumbled upon the Outlander and I was very pleasantly surprised! Yes the third row is only really for kids. I had to sit back there once but we didn't pull the middle seat up. If we had, I think I would have been fine. And the acceleration is great. Don't listen to that review. It has a sport mode. If you want an extra kick just push it over to your "S" mode! It has great pick up with this mode. So so many features. I have the premium package but basic comes with pretty good features. The car even has snow mode for the SAWD and lock mode for more blizzard conditions, Apple car play, leather. It's endless!!! Don't be fooled by Mazda when they say they are the only ones with blind spot monitoring because the Outlander has it. The safety features and warnings are awesome! The side mirrors fold in - press a button if you want to do it when you park or it does it when you lock it. It's crazy!!! Sticker was 30k. I had some negative equity and I literally financed 29k. Absolutely do not look past this SUV! Even if your dealer is a little far away. It is totally worth it for only two - yes two oil changes per year!!! A++ now go buy it!

I have had CRV EX-L , Legacy sedan, Toyota 4-runner Limited, and now the 2017 Outlander GT. Pound for pound it wins hands down.. Great ride, smooth engine, 24-31 mpg depending on the type of driving. Do not listen to those asinine reviews stating how it doesn't stop like a M-5 Bimmer, handles softer than Corvette etc. They are correct because it is just a very nice, smooth, nice handling and quiet underrated SUV. My wife has a Lexus GS-350 AWD and believe me she loves driving this Outlander. Couldn't get her in the 4-runner only under duress. The only thing I don't like is the power lift gate. I've on 20K on it and still can't get used to it. Acts like it has a mind of it's own. As soon as the warranty is gone I most likely get another GT. It is well worth it. Remember it's built in Japan so the quality is there!

I have two 2017 Outlanders and I have had not any issues or need for warranty work on either. The Outlander is made in Japan with mostly Japanese parts and the build quality is apparent. After about 1.5 years of regular use, I have no annoying rattles and everything works great. Contrary to what professional reviews say, the 4cyl CVT w/ AWC is a very good powertrain for a dairly driver. The S-AWC gives amazing control in all weather conditions. The S-AWC gives the driver a lot of options between ECO, normal, snow and even 4 wheel lock. Additionally, the transmission also has an ECO button which helps save even more gas, so yes there is an ECO AWD mode with an ECO setting on top of it. You do need to push the 4 cyl somewhat when you need accelerate fast, but it’s not an issue. Engaging the CVT in sport mode makes the performance much more lively and keeps the engine in the power band. I’ts fun driving around in Sport mode. The engine and transmission work seamlessly together and are extremely well built. There are no hard clunks and everything works seemlessly. I have driven this SUV in some pretty deep snow and icy roads with no issues. The S-AWC gives you a lot of confidence in hazardous road conditions. The Outlander is easy to drive and maneuver around town and makes a great commuter car. Fuel mileage, especially in ECO mode is fantastic. I get 31 plus on the highway and 25 mpg overall. The third row is tight but it’s great to have when you have extra occupants. I almost always have the third row folded down with gives you an impressive amount of space. Mitsubishi backs this card with a huge warranty. In short, this is a great product, at a great price that offers a lot of versatility for a family on a budget. The Japanese build quality is excellent. There are not of ton of these so you stand out a bit too.

After much research I narrowed my choices to a Subaru Forester XT Touring and a Mitsubishi Outlander GT. They both seem to have the best AWD systems in their class. My first choice was the Subaru, especially coming from a 2013 XV Crosstrek, but I couldn't justify the additional expense over the Mitsubishi. The biggest advantages the Forester had over the Outlander were steering feel/handling and resale value. However, I prefer the Outlander's traditional 6 speed automatic over the Forester's CVT. I also find the front seats to be more comfortable. The Outlander's build and material quality is top notch. I haven't found one flaw. Engine performance is strong and the fuel economy has been surprisingly good. The ride is smooth and quiet. You really can't beat the value here for what is truly a quality vehicle with excellent safety ratings and best in class warranty coverage.

2017 Mitsubishi Outlander is one of those mid-sized SUV that most overlooked. Took home a new 2017 Outlander over a week now and so far I'm very pleased with the purchase. I've had driven multiple SUV's in the past and its a must to have an AWD/4WD here in the US northeast part of the United States. One of the best decisions I've made this year has to be purchasing one of the Outlander and glad to get rid of the 2017 Jeep Cherokee only driving the vehicle just over 2 months. I did own a 2015 Highlander (great SUV, terrible in gas mileage), 2016 Crosstrek (too small and not much power) both love these SUVs but I needed something affordable and at the same time have the luxury feeling and performance of a V6. The Outlander is pretty affordable and have the looks and the "techie" stuff inside. Also, the warranty is one of the best out there with 10/100000 miles coverage. Highly recommend the Outlander to those seeking affordable and reliable SUV. The only complaint I have at this time is the 3rd row seat does not have much leg room, but if you just have more than 3 kids then that wouldn't be an issue because my sons just love to sit in the 3rd row and they seem pretty satisfied with it.

Until a week ago I had never driven a Mistsubishi, let alone own one. After owning the 2017 Outlander SEL for a week, I think I’m a customer for life. Seriously, ignore the so called expert reviews. They point to things like acceleration and inadequacy of the engine and fuel economy. What they don’t realize is that most people aren’t using this car to drag race with. For the normal everyday family, this car can’t be beat. It’s whisper quiet, gets amazing fuel economy, and drives smoother than any car or suv I have ever owned. I don’t even know what side of the car the gas tank is on because I haven’t had to fill it up yet. It’s easily the best bang for your buck. It feels much more expensive than it is. It has awesome features like awd, Apple CarPlay, heated seats, etc. It’s also very nimble and fun to drive. I would recommend this car to anyone.

If the Outlander had Honda or Toyota badge on it the critics would rave about it. From a value perspective I don’t know that there is a better deal. It’s well made, efficient and meets a lot of boxes of need and some of the wants. It’s a value buy. And a great job in quality for price and excellent for overall balance. If your looking for luxury or sporty performance look elsewhere. But for most families this hits the mark for most of our needs and some of the wants! Nice fit. And truthfully, the whole “rear seat is too small thing” is a bad argument. What adults are ever going to sit in the back for a long period anyway? Do you know any families with 7 adults? Yeah...

My wife and I were looking for a third row SUV and were shocked at the sticker prices on most of them. I had previously owned a Mitsubishi Lander and loved it so we decided to check out the Outlander. After some negotiating we got the SEL for what they were asking for the ES and it was a deal to good to pass up. This is now my wife's everyday car and out family car on the weekends and we couldn't be happier. While the four cylinder does lack the get up you'd like in an SUV the MPGs more than makes up for it. We get 30+ MPG on any interstate trip; It feels like weeks between fill ups, and as much as we drive that's saying something. The push button start and keyless entry means looking fooling with keys is a thing of the past. My biggest complaint is the lack of places to put stuff like my phone. Most vehicles have nooks or something to put your items in, they forgot about that when designing it. All and all we couldn't be happier. We would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for an SUV who isn't looking to tow anything.

I was concerned bc I haven't heard a lot about the outlander from people I know - no news is good news. I needed the 3rd row in a small SUV and the Rogue seemed too tight and blah interior. that's how I stumbled upon the outlander. What I want is comfort, great mileage . Reliability in the snow , attractive inside and out, and a good price The outlander delivers! I’ve been an owner almost 3 years now and I still love my outlander! So roomy and I love the heated steering wheel in the winter and apple car play year round, completely satisfied. UPDATE: 7 plus years - all is good. Just a great reliable car.

As every dollar-minded car shopper today knows,at least baby-boomers like us,the most bang for the buck is very important,especially with cars.Last year I decided to trade om 2009 kia sorento,which I loved,for another suv as we have grandchildren and like to take them for long rides occasionally whenever we can.We wanted another newer Sorento but decided to test drive a Mitsubishi when we learned the drive trains of Sorentos were actually made by Mitsubishi.Traded for a 2016 Mitsubishi outlander 2.4 4 cyl.Drove it for a year and a half but just wasn't happy with what I thought was a lack of power on big mountains,we live in the Ny Adirondacks and powere is essential.So while having an oil change done at dealer last month,11-17,i test drove a 2017 outlander 6 cyl,with a few more bells and whistles and a third row of seating for grandkids.We loved it!Arranged to trade for the new car that day and when they found the color I wanted a few days later (pearl white),we signed,Very happy with the trade,getting around 23.5/26 highway on regular unleaded.Hope to get even better when we go cross-country next summer.Have leather seats,back-up camera,710 watt stereo system with 3 month Sirius xm satellite trial subscription,not sure if i'll keep that,but we love it.With the bigger engine,we can tow a small boat or camper now.Got 4k in rebates and couldn't be happier!

2017 model, has 60000 miles now, just gave it to my daughter, she is very happy with it, so far only a new set of tires, but 3 wheel alignments....no oil leaks, no add oil needed between oil changes, CVT transmission ok, 2 trips from PA to Florida in the summer, no problems at all, sure is slow, but more important to me, reliable!!

I been a Honda lover for years and had owned a eclipse spider convertible and loved it..On my research for an SUV i narrow it to my new 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander SE awd with sunroof and some more extra and it was exactly the size and price i wanted not small like the crv but not as big like the pilot . I have it since Oct 2017 and till today i love it . Very happy with everything and gas is great for an SUV... Definitely will recommend to give Mitsubishi a chance... up date..One year and still loving my Mitsubishi Outlander no problems , still great in gas i have no complaint.. I 100% recommend giving Mitsubishi a try..

Coming from loaded high end Murano to basic level Outlander was tough for about a day. Budget drove me to look at the Outlander. All the consumer reviews were pretty good, so I pulled the trigger. Once I got past the more luxury aspect, all is good. For half the price of the Nissan, cannot be happier now. For a 4 cylinder I am amazed, cruises at 80 smoothly and still has acceleration, up mountain roads at 75 no problem. Tight solid feel in the cockpit. Leg space was only glitch for me, my big leg rests against the console, just have to deal with that. For practical around towner and possible trips to the trailheads with lots of cargo space, giant warranty, and in 20k range, no brainer. Sales folks were great, no bs.....I hate buying cars and this was not that painful, very happy with purchase.

At first, I thought I could not afford this car...I stopped in to take a test drive...and i was super impressed with all the awesome features! I compared and test drove other models like Chevrolet Trax and Ford Edge. The superior fuel economy and drive train warranty helped seal the deal. I have had the chance to drive it in off road conditions as well....very smart handling. The passenger capability of handling my whole family and all our luggage, and snacks while we went on vacation without sacrificing any comfort was probably what impressed me the most. The basic car also has the high end features like blue tooth built in. The seats are nice, but i would have recommended the rear seats be adjustable as well. On long drives...i can get 30 to 34 mpg driving the speed limit which is like 60 to 65 mph.

8 Year update After 8 years and 81,000 miles, we are still very happy with our Outlander, other than regular oil changes we have only replaced the tires at 55k miles, brakes at 70k miles and most recently (on year 7) the battery, it is still running great. A very good, reliable and low maintenance vehicle. The value for money in this SUV is incredible. Pro’s where to start? Road visibility is great, the safety features are also awesome, super All Wheel Control is impressive and you really feel confident driving on snow or mud great on fuel, apple car play work's great, this is top safety pick and you really feel it when driving it, huge warranty with roadside assistance, you have a very decent cargo space with the 3rd row folded down but if for a reason you have to transport 7 passengers it is good to know that you have that possibility this is a efficient family hauler, not a sports car,. We are getting 29 – 31 MPG. The CVT transmission is not designed for aggressive drivers, but for those who drive sensibly. I can't believe I don't see more on the road, for the $$ hard to beat... Highly recommended SUV

Our Outlander is now at 78,000 and apart from regular routine maintenance, all it has needed is rear brake pads and one map light. It has been perfectly reliable and exceedingly practical. Its 4 cylinder engine is naturally aspirated and has no turbo to break, and it’s matched to a CVT transmission that uses its power wisely. While its engine is no powerhouse, it’s peppy and has no problem keeping up on the highway. Thanks to the CVT it also gets surprisingly good fuel economy—often 32 mpgs on the highway. The AWD is amazing in the snow! Unlike most rivals it comes with an AWD lock feature much like a 4x4. So it doesn’t wait for a wheel to slip before sending it power, it has full traction at all times. It is also comfortable on long trips. We liked that it has less engine noise and more forgiving suspension than the Rav4, the other vehicle we considered buying. The seats are not overly wide but they are comfortable and supportive. For negatives, bluetooth phone calls come out of a speaker on the right side. Perhaps the system was designed for right hand drive vehicles sold in the UK? But it works well enough if you turn the volume up! The harder you step on the gas while merging on the highway also makes the CVT transmission rev the engine up high. This puts the engine into its powerband, and it does make it supply power for merging, but it also makes a usually quiet engine much louder. Once we learned that it just does this to give oomph when we needed it, it was easy to get used to. The Jatco CVT in earlier CVTs gets a bad rap, but this is a newer “CVT8” that has supposedly been improved. Nissan uses the same transmission in the heavier Murano and mates it to a much more powerful V6. If it can take that, with the Outlander’s lower weight and less powerful engine it should last forever with regular oil changes. Websites that track car complaints echo this as there are almost no transmission complaints for this and newer years unlike many of its rivals. I sometimes wish we had purchased the Outlander GT with the V6 for greater towing capacity, but with the current price of gas I’m glad we got this one. It’s perfect for 95 percent of what we want and 100 percent of what we need.

5 Stars in Reliability, Dependability, Safety, Performance, Design, Warranty, Features and Price. Nissan are part owners of Mitsubishi and they revised this car for 2016. It has the same transmission as the Rogue made by JATCO. It has a Japanese Engine built and made in Japan. The top 4 cylinder model has the power like of a V6 when mated to the most up to date new generation CVT transmission. It has a 10 YR\100K Mile Powertrain ,5 YR\60K Mile New Vehicle Limited, 7 YR\100K Mile Anti-corrosion Warranty and a 5 YR\Unlimited Mile Roadside Assistance Warranty. It has received a 5 Star IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus Crash test award in all categories. The Super All-Wheel Control AWD can almost handle any terrain capable for it's design and has auto sensing capabilities with 8.5 inches of clearance. The top luxury 4 cylinder SEL model has options and features at a very affordable price as a new or used car. This is a dream car. My wife loves this car. I had a chance to drive 3 hours from the NJ dealer to NY and it was really fun to drive. The Outlander 4 cylinder feels like a V6 and I have driven a V6 for a long time and you can't tell the difference at times. The engine is quiet at drive, but when accelerating to get speed it revs just like any other engine and goes quiet. The CVT almost feels like driving an electric motor with it's acceleration without hard shift points. This car is also a 7 Seater which the seats are adjustable to the passengers who are sitting in it by adjusting and sliding the 2nd row seats forward or back to get the extra leg room. The car is never boring to look at and would look similar to a Lexus when the badge is removed. The Outlander has also won the award for winning design concept by the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. I love the center console design on the 2017 models and above which makes the cabin upscale with an electric parking brake. There is a spare tire located underneath the trunk area outside of the car. This vehicle is truly a value and getting popular as we speak. Just look at the user reviews on every website and you will see that this car is a hidden treasure to own. We love this car. - Model - 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL with Premium Package.

Was on the market for 3 row SUVs with good gas mileage. We wanted the 3rd row only few times a year when our extended family visits us, so we did not really care about the 3rd row leg room. Like others say, the value for money in this SUV is incredible. This is what I would pay for other sedans. Remember this is a efficient family hauler, not a sports car, nor is it a SUV loaded with unnecessary creature comforts. I am a hypermiler, and if are one, this is the SUV for you. I always clock 31 + mpg on the gallon when I drive. The CVT transmission is not designed for aggressive drivers, but for those who drive sensibly. When others drive my car with a heavy braking/ acceleration, they got 25-26 combined mpg. Road visibility is great, the safety features are also awesome. I have lived in the middle east where Mitsubishi Pajero's (Montero) are legendary. I see that Mitsubishi has integrated some of its class leading AWD (they call it is Super All Wheel Control) into this SUV. Other awesome factors (84 month 0% finance, 10 year powertrain warranty + lifetime powertrain warranty from dealer, etc) made this a no-brainer buy. Remember that this is a unique class in itself (bigger than the RAV4's/ Tuscon/ CRV/ Rogue) but smaller that the Highlanders/ Pathfinders/ Traverse; which is why some of the experts confuse themselves while reviewing this SUV).

I purchased a used 2017 Outlander in 2020. This has been a reliable vehicle and great gas mileage. Hands free worked great. Backup camera, heated seats are great options. This vehicle protected our family when we another suv ran a red light, hitting our rear passenger door at estimate of 50 mph. Side curtain airbag deployed and stayed inflated. We spun a complete 360 and we’re stopped by a pole. Seat belts locked, held and only minor injuries. I loved this small suv and will look for another one. It handled great and was dependable. Wish I had it longer, but wanted to make a safety rating.

Have had this car three years now. Bought at 40K miles and now have 86K. I have only paid to change the oil and new brakes. Super reliable. Paired with snow tires this car is a beast in the snow. Great gas milage. 3rd row seat is a bonus. This car is a hidden gem if you want a budget friendly AWD small SUV.

Same problem kept happen within 3000 miles range, Lemon lawsuit case filed and still waiting for anything from Mitsubishi. 10yr / 100000 miles Powertrain warrenty does not cover 100% for this matter. Luckily my bumper to bumper covered those issues.

The "Bluetooth" is garbage for phone calls. Calls are directed to passenger door speaker by floor. Can't hear clearly w/out being totally distracted. Do NOT put package or passenger leg in front of speaker, def won't hear anything. This is the most ridiculous design ever created by an auto manufacturer. Why hasn't anyone else complain. The customer service reps at Mitsubishi NA even agree that it's stupid. Yet Mitsubishi claims they did it on purpose..... Someone has to come up w/ a fix. If you have to pull over to make/take a call safely, what's the point of Bluetooth???

i've owned two (both V6 models...bought brand new from their dealers..2016 and 2017). reliability is horrible...i though "made in japan" is the way to go....but to my surprise it's been very bad. Components failing, assembly issues, poor design. I lost the brakes while driving ...pretty scary. ABS pump was leaking and took air into the brake system....brakes got soft out of nowhere. Brake fluid leaked all over the engine bay and sub frame....peeled off all the paint. Took alot to get brakes fixed but all paint damage was ignored=rust. Mirror broke, interior parts started squeaking and rattling (no offroad driving). All doors started getting stuck or misaligned. Too many issues to describe. Based on my experience dealing with Mitsu USA(from local dealers to corporate), the company has such a small foot print in the states that they don't quite have the financial resources to back up their flashy warranties (10 years)...and that comes through in all the dealings a customer would have with them....from the sale staff, to financing to service and warranty claims....to the quality of the product itself. At all steps , you feel like you're dealing with a mom/pop business....very low grade....as if the company can't afford any better. As far as warranty and repairs, if it is not a minor issue, they do not even what to hear about it. So between a subpar product and crappy service, one should look else where. I live in a large city and the local dealer has one service rep and one mechanic. Imagine having to have major repairs done there. i wanted something different than the usual honda and toyota....but i found out first hand why this brand is almost disappearing from this market....their products are not in the same league as the ones from the other more famous manufacturers...yet pricing is similar even after discount. I wanted reliability...i did not get it...not even close. Other details on this car: in city driving, i was never able to average above 15 mpgs (on either v6 cars) ...driving with EXTREME light acceleration. I used regular gas (87) after testing the car for a few months with premium....no difference in acceleration or fuel economy (or any improvement in engine harshness). I believe under a heavier foot, the car would burn gas even more. Winter times (miami) with ac off , fuel economy 15 or worse. Cruising on highway....19.5 to 20 mpg average (with or without cruise control). I've had one car for 15000 miles and the other one currently has 25000 miles..neither has ever seen average fuel economy better than 20 mpg....EVER....regardless of gas used, eco mode or not, ac on or not. i've had oil changed on average every 3000 miles (every time i was in the shop with issues)....did not make a difference on fuel economy. V6 is very slow unless...you shift gears manually and almost floor it....than is pretty fast and sounds much better than any 4 cyl. Transmission is tuned for fuel economy...and engine is low in torque. No vents in rear seats is a huge issue in south florida even with ultra dark tints. Interior is quiet if you keep it under 80 mph.....large side mirrors get noisy at high speed. Suspension is very floaty....80 mph cruise on a highway requires constant steering adjustments...car bounces and shifts weight around making it difficult to keep in lane..at speed car requires your full attention...tall , narrow and floaty. Long highway drives are tiresome for that reason. Suspension set up is good in the city... soaks up bumps ok at low speed. Sound system is pretty great...more quantity than quality but for the price is pretty good. Sound system is what sold me the car (also good financing terms). Both V6 cars had a weird "hesitation" at idle when at a stop light....as if the engine was choking....though it was a defect with the car, but both of them did it , regularly. Idle at 600-700 rpms than followed by a sudden drop of a few hundred rpms...jolts the entire car...as if the engine stalled for a second. This was extremely frequent....in both cars...all the time. Engine would never stop so i learned to live with it. Did it just the same when running the recommended premium gas. there were lots of recalls with the car but that's with all brands nowadays...just an inconvenience having the car in the shop for days. From a technology point of view, the car is years behind the competition...engine performance, fuel economy, handling, active safety. Active safety in this car is just a marketing tool....they don't really work...just little trinkets added to an aging car...not really well integrated into the car's systems. Thirsty v6 under powered ..rear brake pad replacement require dealer tool...$450 pads/rotors. Timing belt replacement at 100 000 miles..$1200. Depreciation is crazy....lease if you must.

I loved this SUV. Mitsubishi might not have the best reputation when it comes to their cars (aside from the Lancer Evolution) but this has to be one of my favorite SUV's I've ever owned. I was impressed with the fuel economy and cargo space. Although power wasn't my main focus when I bought it, but everything about this SUV was just perfect for my daily needs. If only finding Mitsubishi parts weren't so difficult I'd still be cruising in this enchanting beast.

Beyond disappointed with Mitsubishi. Will never buy this brand EVER again. I have owned an outlander for 2 years. It has been in the shop more than half of that time. It only has 43,000 miles. They refuse to cover a faulty part because we “kept driving on it” when we were told by a mechanic there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. I have spent more money than my down payment for this vehicle just fixing it. Issue after issue. Never again. Please think twice before purchasing from this brand.

Do not purchase unless you are looking to pay too much for cheap cheap quality! Where do I even begin...paint, door handles, seat material, windows and door and window seals all CHEAP. My dash stated making a noise as if something came loose in there two months after i purchased it. The vibration when tbe a/c is turned on is as bad as an old clunker fixing to die out on ou. I am the sole driver, not by any means hard on my vehicles (they are like my babies), and after 6 months i was ready to get rid of this one. I puchased it brand new with the stickers still on it. I am going on a year now of ownership and i can't wait to trade it in. However, the trade in value is the worst and for now i am stuck with it. Had i known what i was paying for ($27,388).....Don't say you weren't warned.

We have 8,000 miles on the vehicle and so far have already received 2 recall notices from Mitsubishi Motors. The first one for faulty door latch components and just got another yesterday for defective relays involving the engine control unit. If the relay fails the engine will stall while driving and cannot be restarted. If the relay for the engine valve lift control fails, it limits the available engine power. If the relay for the radiator fan fails, the engine may overheat. We brought a vehicle that we thought we could rely on and with the recalls we are now in doubt. Because there are no local dealers in our area we have to drive 4 hours for a 1/2 repair or more to have the recalls taken care of. I'm disappointed in the reliability and lack of dealers. For the time we have to spend driving and the expense to get the recalls taken care of we do not feel that this vehicle is right for us and do not think I would recommend this vehicle to someone else.

My car just hit 60k and I feel like my Ac isn’t cooling enough. I live in California so it’s needed in the summer. It cycles off and on every few mins so on a hot day, good luck getting it cool! And if you get a black interior worse. The dealers can’t seem to find anything wrong with it and supposedly they come like that nowadays. If Ac is important to you, do not buy this car!

I purchase this outlander brand new no miles. I like the outlander. I feel it is not worth the value. This outlander can easily get a dent. The material is made from cheap material. Where the car jack is store at, trying to put it back in place, easily pushed a dent in the car from the inside. My hood has a dent from closing it. I have had a car so easily to put a dent in it. So scared for someone to touch it. It might get a dent. I wish i never purchased this outlander. The material is cheaply made. Too much money for this outlander. I wish i can return it without paying for it. How do i return it back to the company. Imagine if i someone hit me or i hit someone. This outlander would not stand a chance. These outlander needs better material for the outside. It is a SAFETY ISSUE. DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. Not only that i was lied to about the 3rd row seat. Too small to have someone seat back there. No room. So dont waste your time with the SUV 3rd row. This outlander is not made for a family. I need someone from the company to contact me......
