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.

My Second Outlander!

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

2019 Mitsubishi Outlander SE 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

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.

I love my Outlander SE

I absolutely love my Outlander SE. The interior is elegant and classy, The seats are supportive and comfortable. The infotainment system works better than the one in my Chevy did. The professional reviews complain about the 2.4, but I find it to be reasonably peppy and quiet. So far I'm already getting low 30s mpg, but I expect thag to improve as the engine wears-in. Coming from a Volt, I love the CVT. I went with the SE to get blind spot detection. It comes with a 10 year 100k warranty, and I upgraded it even further for about 2k. You can find some great deals on them.

Reliability, plus....

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.
