2019 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
81 of 82 people found this review helpful
Part One First of all, I rented this for a Midwest swing of 5 states and I put just a bit under 1,000 miles on it. So while I'm not a long-term owner, I did put about 200 miles a day on this SUV and I think that I have a few things worth sharing on that basis. For my little family of three, this smaller SUV (specifically, it was the Mitsubishi Outlander SEL w/AWD) worked out great for what we wanted it to do! The back seat was roomy enough that my six year old wasn’t constantly kicking the front passenger seat all of the time. Right away, this is a crowd pleaser. The SEL trim is covered in leather which I think is always a bonus when little kids could be spilling stuff in the back seat. We didn’t find this SUV to be particularly comfortable or unconformable – however my wife was pretty quiet about the whole 1,000 miles, so it couldn’t have been really terrible, either. The car did occasionally drone on freeway though, and we didn’t really care for that. However, when it did, we were going pretty fast; I had the cruise set at 85mph through large portions of South Dakota where the limit on I-29 is 80mph. The SUV really had no trouble at all maintaining speed once you got there, but as others have said, it’s not sports-car performance in any way. I had never driven a CVT-equipped vehicle this far, ever. Mixed emotions for me – the RPM’s would get right up there and the thing would start to pull itself up to speed. I never felt like it was unsafe, at all, it just required a fairly heavy right foot, which I was more than willing to provide. I wasn’t expecting a lot of speed out of the 2.4 inline four, and really at the end of the day, it was plenty for what I needed it to do. If you are used to something a whole lot faster, then this would get to be frustrating pretty quickly IMHO. The range on this SUV, at least on my road-trip was about 400 miles, probably a little more. I never got much below a quarter of a tank before I filled it up. MPG was about 27 for the entire trip. The automatic climate control in the car is worth mentioning. It worked very well, including the vents in the back seat for my daughter. My only gripe is that the vents cannot be turned on or off up-front using knobs or sliders. We didn’t like that. The ability to change their direction seemed to be limited as well. Minor issues, but things that we noticed. The SUV has heated seats, which we did not use as it was hot most of the time. This car did not have a sunroof, so I have nothing to say about that. Overall, on the road, the Mitsubishi was competent on the road and comfortable. I’d drive one of these again for 1,000 miles if I had to without (too) many complaints.

As the title says the new 2019 GT we have is our 3rd Outlander. We can not see paying any more for one of the names that are ranked higher in the polls. I have owned Porsches and other high end cars in my life but feel the Outlander is as well put together as any car that I have owned. The warranty is the best in the industry and I have only had 4 recalls for all four cars for minor issues. Never for anything like brakes or transmissions or motor issues. At 6'3" and 250 I need a car that is comfortable and the Outlander offers the adjustments to allow me to do so. The leather heated seats on the GT are very comfortable. My wife and I take a twice a year trip from NC to IA and back, 1700 miles roundtrip each time. Very much like the fuel economy, right now after less than a 1000 miles are seeing 25-26 mpg on short trips, combination of country road and highway. Can't wait for some long runs on a highway. This is much better than our 2009 which we still have and is still going strong after 190,000 miles. UPDATE Well backed into to a post at low speed with back left fender it totally crunched the plastic fender. Was expecting that. I'm insured but still...... 1900 dollars. Not at all peased. Reduced my rating by 1 star as body strength isi important to me.

Don't listen to [non-permissible content removed] writing the reviews. Just ask a owner like me. Ive owned many SUV and the Outlander drives better, handles better, awesome gas mileage, visibility is better, and price is better!. My last SUV was a Lexus before my wife talked me into the Outlander. It has all the gadgets that the Lexus had. Insurance is cheaper and the warranty rocks. The LED lights and fog lights really is impressive. The engine power isn't that bad. If you learn to drive a CVT you can really get the Outlander moving. Everybody knows you just don't floor a CVT you get a feel for a power band with foot throttle modulation. The big draw is that it is 98% made in Japan with high quality in compliance assembly. The huge touchscreen and Rockford Fosgate stereo blasts when you want and sounds great when you want easy listening. We bought the Outlander fully loaded at 30K while the competition for the same package was 40K.. The 10 year 100K mile warranty with Vip package and you don't have to pay for maintenance, tires, and oil changes!! Thank you Mitsubishi and so long to all the rest.

The Best Cheap Mid-Size SUV

I drove an Outlander in Africa through thick mud, deep sand, giant potholes, rocky roads and never got stuck. I travelled long distances through desolate areas and never broke down. Those experiences proved to me that this is a true off roader. I bought the newest model and its been improved even more. My GT is top of the line with all the high-end luxury options, but the price is half that of any of the competition. There is no hype surrounding the Outlander, so it's ignored by most people. Mitsubishi doesn't sell the elite Montero or Montero Sport in the US, so this is the closest substitute. I appreciate this SUV because it gets me home through even the worst road conditions.

Having also owned a 2007 Pilot, 2003 CRV, currently also own a 2014 Accord Sport - the Outlander is definitely the best choice we made. We tested all mid- size SUVs and were very surprised how well the Outlander drove. I can tell you first hand that the professional reviewers are a joke. Test it for yourself and see what actual owners have to say.

After reading all the "expert" reviews about the Outlander, an SUV shopper would pretty much be discouraged to buy one and look somewhere else. Anyway, I test drove a Subaru Forester, Honda CRV, Nissan Rogue, and the Outlander. I ended up choosing the 2019 Outlander SEL over the other SUVs I test drove. The Outlander was the quietest and most comfortable one to drive. It has the most features that come standard with the SEL. The second row reclines and can be moved forward and back and it has a third row that can come in handy. The Outlander also had the best price and warranty and even offers road side assistance. The Rockford Fosgate sound system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto connectivity sounded much better than the sound sytems of the other SUVs I test drove. It has almost been 3 months since I purchased the Outlander and have no regrets. I love driving it and enjoy listening to the awesome stereo. Although the 4 cylinder won't blast you to 60 mph in a few seconds, it is quite adequate and delivers better than expected gas mileage. It rides smooth and is very quiet contrary to what I what car magazines experts have said. Any complaints? Maybe one which is the deletion of the spare tire and putting a tire repair kit instead. But other than that, I find it hard to agree with what car expert reviewers say about the Mitsubishi Outlander. I'm happy I chose the 2019 Outlander and continue to feel the same way as time goes on owning and driving the Outlander.

Our 1500 hundred mile trip to pick up our college student from North Dakota and back was a real pleasure. We were in one situation that required braking and maneuvering to avoid an accident would not be possible had we been in our previous vehicle. Thanks Mitsubishi. The gas milage did not even suffer with all the cargo and wheight of 3 adults. around 29 to 30 mpg. Ya know

My daughter bought an Outlander Sport in Oct of 19. She hasn’t had it very long. She and a co-worker were leaving work a week ago, and she got hit from behind. Luckily they walked away with being banged up and bruises. The lady hit them coming off the freeway at a high rate of speed. It totaled the car but they are ok. The only complaint I have is when Finacing the vehicle is we wanted GAP protection and the finance guy wouldn’t give it to us, saying the car is worth more then owed on it. Not true! So now she will be without a car till then. I just wanted to let you guys know that your vehicle did what it was suppose to do in the situation she was in.

30.1 mpg on first 700 mile trip. Model is SEL V-6

Bought a used 2019 V-6 SEL. Had 28k and no issues when I test drove it. This is definitely the best deal $ wise I found. I retired after 37 years in auto sales, and even surprised myself at the features this vehicle has. I’ve been getting 30+mpg on highway trips at 70-80 mph, and 25-26mpg around town. That was an unexpected plus. My only negative was it came without a spare tire, only a pump and fixaflat, but I got the dealer to throw in a spare, and I’ll buy the mounts to put it underneath where there is a place for it. I presume it originally had runflats, and when they were replaced they installed regular radials. As someone that has sold almost every Make of vehicles over the years, I am extremely happy with the Outlander. I didn’t really need 7 passenger seating, so I leave the rear seats folded down and have ample storage space. Blind spot warning system, automatic wipers, hands free stereo and cell phone links make for the best safety features, IMO. Bought it with 28,000 miles, but Full warranty till 60k, and over 3 more years(5 from in service date). Never been happier with a personal vehicle, and I’ve driven hundreds of different ones in the past(demos), as I worked in sales management most of my life. Don’t know why Edmunds doesn’t list the SEL V-6, so pay no attention to the model I chose under vehicle details.

I just bought a new 2019 SEL which was a replacement for a 2017 SE. We wanted the leather, sunroof, upgraded stereo, rear A/C vents and the safety systems included in the 2019 model. Like many others have stated, the Outlander is the best priced mid size 7 passenger SUV. We put 50,000 trouble free miles in a 3 year period on the 2017 and don't regret buying Mitsubishi at all. Best warranty, built in Japan and at a lower price than anything comparable. About the resale value: They lose the most value on year #1, after that they maintain the value like any other comparable vehicle (I've done the research!). Just keep it for at least 3 years! These things are built like tanks and don't break! Don't get influenced by non owner reviews. I'm convinced that those people simply promote other mainstream brands while being totally biased against Mitsubishi. When we bought the 2017, we test drove Toyota, Nissan & Honda and the Mitsubishi out shined them all when you see what you get for the price. Bottom line: If you want a fully loaded 7 passenger, Japanese built SUV with a super warranty, buy the Outlander. My second Mitsubishi won't be my last!

Spirit of the Montero

As a former Montero driver, I wanted a new one, but they aren't sold here. I looked at many suvs until I found a unique Outlander made in Kamo, Japan at Pajero Manufacturing, where the Montero is built. The Montero is a legendary 4x4 that can be found in the harshest places around the world and ranks as one of the best vehicles ever built. My Outlander is a close substitute and retains the overall feel of a Montero, but on a smaller, lighter scale. I will buy separate sets of snow and mud tires to enhance the winter/off road capabilities. I bought this because much of my daily driving is on dirt roads and I need a capable AWD with cargo capacity. If the Montero becomes available again I will upgrade to that.

This is my fourth Mitsubishi from a 2005 Endeavor (loved it but always waited for it to shift in to non-existent 4th gear). 2009 GT, Great! Not one problem. 2014 Outlander, and now a 2018 SEL AWD with all the bells and whistles (sun roof, LED's, heated steering wheel and seats, plus all the available safety features, etc. I don't understand CU's negatives. I find comfort, handling, economy and more exceptional.

This is my second Mitsubishi SUV and to-date I have had very positive experiences with both vehicles. My wife and I purchased the 2019 Outlander SEL with a 2.4 engine and we have had no regrets with our choice. Gas mileage is good and although I really do need to be a little more scientific, the 2.4 in the Outlander appears to be delivering comparable if not better mileage than our previous RVR with the 2.0. Acceleration on major highways is very good and cruising at 70 -75 mph is effortless. Going up steep hills at posted or above speeds on both streets and highways around Vancouver BC is easily accomplished. The vehicle interior and exterior are attractive, functional and effective. The model we purchased came with all of the features that most drivers would demand and many that are nice to have but not heavily used. We did not purchase the vehicle for its 7 seat capacity and the 3rd row seating looks pretty minimal and peerhaps best used in a pinch or for small children. We simply enjoy and utilize the cargo space behind the second row seating. Given our experience with Mitsubishi, our satisfaction with the Outlander and its ability to meet our needs in our driving environment, we would give the Outlander a solid 4.5 out of 5. Our ownership experience has included some of the top names in domestic and imported vehicles and we have found that satisfaction should reflect what the vehicle was purchased to do, the value provided by the vehicle and its performance in meeting these fair expectations. We have no hesitation in giving the Outlander the 4.5 it deserves. As of the end of June 2020, my initial review remains accurate. No issues, post-breakin, fuel consumption is now very good and performance has been excellent.

This is a solid car! I bought a used 2019 SEL, paid $1,500 less than comparable models from other companies with the same features. First off, you cannot beat the value this car provides. Leather seats, blind spot monitor, android auto, heated seats, auto wipers, rear cross traffic, fog lights, S-AWC, etc. all wrapped up in a stylish package. The Gray Metallic looks amazing along with the 18 inch wheels. I get comments of how nice it is, inside and out. I have found it drives well. The improvements made for the 2019 model inspire a lot of confidence on highways and back roads. The CVT is bearable, I really don't mind it at all. I'm not a NASCAR driver and am fairly defensive and the 4 Cyl suits my needs. The S-AWC (Mitsubishi's AWD system) is EXCELLENT in the snow. Took this out in 6 inches of unplowed snow and it had no issues getting through it. One of the best AWD systems I have used hands down. Gas Mileage has been accurate, averaging about 30 MPG on the highway. My advice: If you are looking for a used SUV with AWD/4WD, look into the 2019 Outlander. I am baffled by the critics reviews of it. I test drove the Ford Escape, Nissan Rogue, Mazda CX5, and Subaru Forester. I found the Outlander to be very competitive in terms of the driving dynamics and abilities; again for far less than even the lowest priced of the other 5! Read through the consumer reviews of the Outlander and test drive one for yourself. You may end up liking it just as much or more than the competition while also saving some money. I do not feel like I compromised on anything.

2016 model: The GT is a different vehicle than the 4cyl version. It can do a little of everything; tow a little, reasonable off-road capabilities, capable family hauler, easy around town, etc. There are better options for each of those things, but I don't think you find anything that can do all of those things for as good a value. Stand-out features are the S-AWC which is the best AWD system on the road and the Rockford Fosgate stereo is impressive. 50,000 mile update: still no problems, reliable and inexpensive. There are 40mm lifts available on ebay and there's plenty of room for a 235/60/18 size tire if you want to boost the off road capability a little. With that equipment, it is very capable off road!

I bought this vehicle for the highly rated safety on IIHS and after owning the 2016 4 cyl version I decided to test drive the 6 cyl and ended up trading it in for a 2019 because yes the V6 GT has a lot more power and doesn't have that annoyingly loud engine noise in the cabin that the 4 cyl does. The 4 cyl version of this car is mated to a CVT and seems to be about as weak as a lawn mower but in terms of performance the V6 will over take anything while merging on the highway. There is a huge difference with these engine configurations and it seems mitsubishi tends to focus on 4 cyl in the trim line up as you can only get a V6 in the GT trim. I did note that the fuel economy on the window sticker is a lie (as with most new vehicles) I only get about 16-22mpg in this car. The car has an excellent all wheel drive system that has never left me stuck despite off roading. The stock tires are junk and never cared for Toyo A24's that came with the vehicle. I recommend some off road tires if you do any excursions to the wilderness to really take advantage of the high quality all wheel drive system but because of the ridiculously large stock rims its difficult to find off road tires. I recommend going with smaller rims to give you better choices for off road tires. This vehicle reminds me a bit of my 97 Montero in terms of off road ability. The third row seat is really only for small children or very tiny short people less than 5'4" The towing is pretty good with the V6 I pull my 3000lb camper without too much struggle and certainly no problems with over heating even during a hot uphill desert run in the summer. The towing on the 4 cyl is pretty useless at about 1500lbs so its not really more helpful than a compact car if you get the 4 cyl. I would recommend the V6 GT because of all the cool and neat features that the GT top of the line trim offers as its about the price point of a base model Honda Pilot, mind you that base model Honda Pilot wont have 4wd either. The fuel economy isn't stellar on either the 4 cyl or V6. Overall its a great car but you'll have to overlook its small short comings but for the price you can't beat it.

Granted it’s not the best powerful engine in class but has all the standard features included. I drove this car for year and half at 45k miles and it’s handle great in snow and rains in high speed 60-70 mph, can drift easily for fun, has good braking system, and best awd program. I went skiing on trip, parked over huge pile of snow, used 4x4 lock awd mode and got out easy as breeze. Yes it is cheap car but it’s overall been great car. I had 2016 Acura MDX so i know this car comes close to it. Average mpg is 24. Only downsize is there no spare tire smh. Best mpg on highway can reach 38 mpg. 2nd row seat can be tilted back for more comfort. Still has better warranty than all 3rd row suv. I still love this car despite low performance engine, I have no issues with it since. I did hydroplanning on heavy rains on highway and recovered nicely without spinning 360 degree. It’s all on my Instagram- thegodfathernyc I work as uber driver and this car been my best baby so far

Despite the Edmunds review, the 2019 Outlander accelerates and shifts very quickly; much improved 8-speed CVT. It steers better as well. With Apple car play standard and very comfortable seating, the whole experience is much better. A tremendous value now. More affordable than ever with the best warranty in the business. The shame is that there are not more dealers nationally, but well worth finding one.

I’ve had many vehicles over the years, American made trucks, Subaru Outback’s, and I was an armour reconnaissance soldier driving off-road for over ten years as well. This vehicle, for the price point is great. It’s great off-road and handles everything our Canadian winters can throw at it. I have the GT trim and it hauls very nicely. Never had any issues with pick, speed, or handling. I think this is a great little SUV. We are a family of four with two dogs, and we all fit for day trips no problem. Only thing they could’ve done better is storage in front and rear. I got a roof carrier and it’s all good now.

So far very pleased.We bought this in May 2019. Compare the lower cost to other similar SUVs and this is the best vehilce for less. The highway gas mileage is much better than advertised.The comfort and smooth transmision is impressive. We are glad we did not spend $10K to $20K more. The brakes had safely helped us out several times to avoid the deer(s) or other guy(s). We plan to look at Mits again first on our next purchase. TMILL

I tested twenty SUVs (midsize and larger). I am tall (6'3"), and wanted something comfortable to sit in. VERY few midsize SUVs fit me at all (any with sunroofs were out of the question). Even half of the larger SUVs, such as Flex and Tahoe, did not fit me well. Forester was the best for midsize, but the Outlander is almost as good. I must correct the notion that this car has no power or lags. BECAUSE the Outlander is not huge, the 2.4 liter does pretty well with acceleration and overall power. What really sold it to us (other than fitting my size), is how very versatile it is. The Outlander is a bit narrowr and a bit longer than the Murano that it is replacing. We can put all three kids in the second row if we ever need to pack a ton of stuff. It is cramped for the kids that way, but it will do in a pnch. Carrying 7 passengers can also be done in a pinch. We usually just have two kids in the second row, and one in the third. This gives them more separation and space than if we only had two rows. All of us are comfortable (partially because the second row seats slide forward and back to meet out needs). Getting into and out of the third row is pretty easy for the kids (even I could do it if I had to). The car is quiet, and all the controls are laid out well. (We got the SE version). Material and workmanship seem good (better than many other cars that I tested). Visibility all around is excellent. Handling is also very good (I have tested it under some unusual conditions). The backup camera works well. I also appreciate that it doesn't overdo the "safe driving" technology (where the computer tries to take over and drive the car).....we did not want that. And it doesn't have the silly "auto shut off/turn on" feature that kicks in at stoplights. We paid almost $10,000 less than if we had gone with most other midsize 3-row SUVs. That's a lot of money, and if this car works well for us for 7 or 8 years, then I feel we will have gotten a steal. Mitsubishi is clearly doing something right, as their sales numbers continue to grow. I'll report back after driving it in snow, but I expect the Super AWC to work great. The icing on the cake is that the 2019 Outlander looks fantastic (we got the cherry red exterior). Our local Mitsu dealer has been around a long time and has a great reputation for service, so we have zero concerns about after-purchase. I did not originally even consider this car, but after driving it, I was so surprised by it that we ended up buying it. I urge you to give it a chance. **** TWO MONTH REPORT: Did 50-55 mph yesterday on snowy roads, with SUMMER tires! Amazingly good AWD. Getting 26 mpg (average). I am 6’3” and rode in the third row for a couple hours. Acceleration and power is very good. I can’t think of a single thing we do not like about this car. Amazing value.....costs at least $4k more to get the same quality and features elsewhere..

Since we purchased vehicle in the beginning of April 2019 it was about 5 times in the service. The first problem was defected engine control unit that cause the car battery to drain. We could not even open the car. The next issue was leaking sunroof that have been repaired twice. And I’m not sure if it’s final repair. The case manager from the Mitsubishi headquarters seems did not care that we are having such issues with the new car. We completely unsatisfied with the dealership and the service provided. They sold defected car and nobody care, neither the dealership nor the manufacture. I never had such bad experience before. Never Mitsubishi.

if you are going to buy a Mitsubishi you better be ready to keep it for four or five years because if you trade that car in 3 months after you buy it you will lose your tail your shirt and your shoes. Horrible car to drive down the highway experiencing a crosswind. It is built very cheap. I owned two ; the first was an SE and I paid less than $ 17,000.00 , as it had 2800 miles . The General Manager cut me a deal the first time , and now is gone . Alot of dealership's now are forcing a protection plan on most new sales [ not used ] ; and I have already spoke up to a " Country Toyota Dealer" , about my severe disliking of ONE of the THOUSAND 95 DOLLARS , [ for a family protection plan ] . Sneaky shell games , I do not approve.This vehicle and the salesman, were garbage.

Performance is anemic

As I write this I have a rented 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. It’s acceleration (4cylinder) is so anemic it borders on dangerous while accelerating while merging into traffic. It’s reminiscent of the 1970 VW Westfalia Camper I had in college in 1971. You pray for downhill on-ramps and tailwinds. Other than that everything is acceptable. I will never again rent one. PS, it’s gas mileage is less than my Mercedes SL class.

I drew an Outlander from Avis' rental pool for a three week road trip from ORD to Michigan's UP and Georgian Bay. This car disappointed this Outback owner at every turn. Lousy acceleration, sloppy, fishtail handling, mediocre mileage, a noisy engine, and downright dangerous in turns - didn't these have a rollover problem back in the '90s? - all make it a distant competitor to Subarus. Then there are the unnecessary gadgets that get in the way of each other and conspire to thwart the driver from having a decent driving experience. I would never buy this car and recommend others not to do so.
