Limited Mitsubishi dealer network

What’s new

After a redesign just last year, the Mitsubishi Outlander gets a few more updates for 2017. The previously optional 6.1-inch touchscreen and rearview camera are now standard. New optional features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic high beams, a 360-degree camera system and a heated steering wheel. Mitsubishi has also eliminated its optional navigation system from the options list. Finally, all-wheel drive is now available on the base ES trim.

Vehicle overview

If you're looking for a family-sized crossover, there's quite a bit to choose from. Nearly every manufacturer has gotten into the family-hauler game over the last few years, and competition is stiff. Right in the middle of that race is the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander. At first glance, the Outlander looks as if it could hit the spot thanks to its three rows of seating, appealingly low price tag, strong safety scores, and plenty of standard and optional features. But take a test drive, and you'll find that this refreshed Mitsubishi is still behind the curve.

For starters, it isn't very fast or very fuel-efficient. Either one we could forgive, but as a combo, those facts are hard to ignore. The Outlander's third-row capability also disappoints some. Yes, you can fit up to seven passengers, but that third-row seat is one of the most cramped in the crossover class. It's definitely a kids-only seat. And though the Outlander does get several new desirable features this year (Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, automatic high beams and a 360-degree camera), most of them are optional and available only on the highest, most expensive trim levels.

As a potential alternative, check out the 2017 Kia Sorento. It's more expensive but earns its keep thanks to its welcoming interior, roomier third-row seat and available turbocharged power. If the Sorento costs too much, a more affordable option with a third-row seat is the 2017 Nissan Rogue. Compared to the Outlander, it offers more cargo room and third-row space. And if you don't absolutely need the third row, there are several very appealing crossovers, with models such as the Honda CR-V, Ford Escape and Mazda CX-5 headlining the list. In the end, the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander scores some points with its features list and third-row seat, but overall we think you'll be happier with one of the aforementioned alternatives.

Standard safety features on the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander include antilock disc brakes, a rearview camera, traction and stability control, hill start assist, a driver knee airbag, front-seat side airbags, and side curtain airbags for the first and second rows.

Optional electronic safety features include a 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and a forward collision mitigation system with automatic braking.

During Edmunds performance testing, in a simulated panic stop from 60 mph, an all-wheel-drive Outlander SEL came to a stop in 121 feet. An Outlander GT also stopped in 121 feet. Both are average results.

In government crash testing, the Outlander with all-wheel drive earned atop five-star rating for overall crash protection, with four stars for total front-impact protection and five stars for side-impact protection. Front-wheel-drive Outlanders have the same front and side ratings, but one fewer star for overall protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave all Outlanders the best possible rating of Good in the small-overlap and moderate-overlap front-impact tests as well as a Good score for the side-impact, roof strength and seat/head restraint (whiplash protection) tests.

Edmunds' Expert Rating

The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander might not be a household name, but it does give you a lot of worthwhile features for the money, and there's even an optional V6 engine for extra power. But the Outlander is in one of the most competitive segments on the market. You might find other small crossovers more appealing overall.

Driving

For power, the Outlander has either the standard 2.4-liter engine or the available 3.0-liter V6. They're both adequate for city driving, but neither is an overachiever. The four-cylinder's CVT makes this engine especially noisy during full-throttle acceleration (think freeway on-ramps and passing scenarios, or even long uphill grades) as it keeps the engine's speed at a steady, high rpm. The V6 sounds a bit better, and we prefer its conventional six-speed automatic transmission to the CVT. Unfortunately, you can only get it with the GT trim.

The 2017 Outlander is easy to drive on long trips, with slightly less cabin noise at speed thanks to some recent updates to sound-deadening. It's also refreshingly easy to see out of, with good sightlines out the windows and big views from the mirrors. Around turns, this Mitsubishi is stable and secure.

If you're going off-road on a regular basis, the Outlander's all-wheel-drive system offers selectable modes that provide a bit more capability on dirt roads and in deep snow. The system can be used for mild off-roading but not much more.

Interior

The interior of the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander is one of its more likable features. The dashboard design is attractive but subtle, and it's covered with a refined soft-touch material that's matched by supple trim on the door panels. Infotainment features are class-competitive, highlighted by standard voice controls and a 6.1-inch touchscreen interface that's standard this year (previously optional). There is also an available 7-inch display that comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto this year. The smartphone integration is a welcome addition, but overall neither infotainment interface is very user-friendly.

Up front, there's plenty of space in the first two rows for the driver and passengers. The seats are well-padded enough to keep you comfy on a long road trip, even if they don't provide much lateral support. Headroom and legroom in the first two rows is sufficient (less so with the optional sunroof), and the second row can slide and recline. The Outlander's third row provides some added versatility compared to other two-row crossovers, but be aware that it's very cramped and suitable for small kids only.

Behind the third row, the Outlander offers 10.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Behind the second row there's 34.2 cubes, which is on par with what's behind the second row in crossovers such as the CR-V and Rogue. Fold the second and third row down, and you'll get a respectable 63.3 cubes, but competitors such as the Kia Sorento and Nissan Rogue are roomier still.

Compare 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander trim levels

2017 Mitsubishi Outlander models

The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander is a seven-passenger crossover SUV that comes in four different trim levels: ES, SE, SEL and GT. The GT gets the 3.0-liter V6 engine, and all other trims get the 2.4-liter four-cylinder. All-wheel drive is standard on the GT and optional on the ES, SE and SEL.

The base ES comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED running lights and taillights, heated mirrors, rear privacy glass, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a height-adjustable driver seat, a 60/40-split folding second-row seat that slides and reclines, a 50/50-split third-row seat, a rearview camera, voice controls, Bluetooth connectivity, and a six-speaker sound system with a 6.1-inch touchscreen display, a CD player and a USB port.

Stepping up to the SE gets you foglights, body-color side mirrors with integrated turn signals, keyless ignition and entry, an electronic parking brake, heated front seats, and an upgraded audio system with a 7-inch display, satellite radio, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

The SEL adds roof rails, automatic headlights, automatic wipers, gloss-black interior trim, leather upholstery and a power driver seat. The SEL also has some optional equipment that you can't get on lower trim levels. The Premium package adds a sunroof, a power liftgate, power folding mirrors, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and a nine-speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system. The SEL Touring package includes the Premium package contents plus LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree parking camera system, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a heated steering wheel, lane departure warning, and a forward collision mitigation system with automatic braking.

The GT comes standard with all of the above options except the advanced safety technologies (adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation and lane departure warning), all of which are included in the optional GT Touring package. Exclusive standard features on the GT include chrome exterior beltline accents and steering-wheel shift paddles.

Stand-alone options for all trims include remote engine start, a tow hitch and a rear-seat entertainment system. All trims except the ES are eligible for LED foglights and front and rear parking sensors.

The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander is offered with one of two available engines. The ES, SE and SEL get a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (166 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque) that is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). All three trim levels are available with front- or all-wheel drive. In Edmunds performance testing, an all-wheel-drive SEL accelerated to 60 mph in 9.2 seconds, a slower time than many rivals.

A 3.0-liter V6 is standard on the all-wheel-drive GT. It produces 224 hp and 215 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a conventional six-speed automatic (with shift paddles) and all-wheel drive. In Edmunds performance testing, an Outlander GT went from zero to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds, which is average for a crossover of this type with an upgraded engine.

EPA fuel economy estimates for the Outlander weren't available at publishing time, but last year's four-cylinder, front-drive Outlander posted 27 mpg combined (25 city/31 highway), dropping to 26 mpg combined (24 city/29 highway) with all-wheel drive. The V6-powered GT received an EPA estimate of 23 mpg combined (20 city/27 highway). Mileage estimates for the Outlander are acceptable but a little below average for the class.

With the four-cylinder engine, towing capacity is limited to 1,500 pounds, but the V6-powered GT can handle a more useful 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.

Exactly what I was looking for in a low-cost daily

Jason K., 02/07/2017

2017 Mitsubishi Outlander ES 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

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

Zen to drive, Zen to own.

John Ho, 12/15/2017

2017 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

9.5 year update- Super Reliable. Still as good as when we bought it new and just as rewarding to use and own. No issues. Not one. -still zen to own and operate. 8-year update- this truly is a Swiss Army knife and it does everything so well: Long road trip? It’s quiet, stable, responsive, comfortable, and you can fit three water bottles in each door panel! Big city driving and parking? … It’s easy to fit in a spot and easy to park and easy to maneuver, nimble. Deep ruts on unplowed icy roads in the middle of winter? - secure and safe. No unexpected maintenance or repairs. It’s been extremely reliable. 32.5 mpg using eco mode and cruise control on a 800 mile trip.. zen. 7 year update- We've had zero problems. Just oil changes, filters, and general maintenance is all. 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.

awesome SUV,dont belive the so called experts!

Minnesota Driver, 05/05/2017

2017 Mitsubishi Outlander GT 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

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 …
