I LOVE this car!!! I get really disappointed when it is not rated as highly as it should be! Mistubishi has added features that were missing- really listened to their customers. I owned a 2017 and decided to spoil myself with a 2020- it is loaded with safety features- I can tow our boat now as the one I picked had a tow package- the horse power they say is not good- this is so not true! It is a zippy little SUV and has sport mode- I got the premium package on the SEL- now down in NC, I do not need the all wheel drive - I have the heated steering wheel now and they put vents and USB plugs in the back which it really needed- this car is AWESOME!! great on gas too ... and so comfortable as we make long trips up to CT... and yes, the 3rd row is a bit cramped but we used it the other night and it is fine for the littles... It does not bother me as we do not use it a lot anyway. This is my second one and look forward to continuing to be a Mistubishi driver! My husband loves it too and I have to reign him on taking my car to work every day!! Everything you need for a great price!!!

2019 Outlander 2.4 SEL

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.

MUCH better than critics give it credit for

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.

Awesome 3rd row suv with v4

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
