edmunds TESTED

The Mitsubishi Outlander is the biggest and best SUV in the company's lineup. With the help of some updates for the 2025 model year, the Outlander gets even better thanks to improved technology features. Unfortunately, it keeps the same four-cylinder engine that provides lackluster performance and there's no hybrid option.

2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Jared Gall

3/20/2025

The Outlander is Mitsubishi's best vehicle in the last few years. We like its smooth ride over bumps and its clever packaging, which makes it roomy inside. It's also one of the smallest SUVs to come with a third row, so if you need something with a small overall footprint that can accommodate some smaller people in the wayback area, this Mitsubishi might just be the right answer. The 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty adds to its value, too.

Edmunds spotlight: Changes for the 2025 Outlander

The Outlander has proven to be Mitsubishi's most convincing effort in years. It's been on sale since 2022, which means 2025 will be its fourth model year on the market. Luckily, the company is keeping the Outlander fresh with a group of updates that include new interior technology, revised exterior styling, and some small changes to the driving experience. It's a better SUV than before, and for not much more money.

Competitors to consider

Even though the Outlander's third row might seal the deal for some, there are plenty of five-seat, two-row SUVs we like just a touch more than the Mitsubishi. The Mazda CX-5 is better to drive, and the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Mazda CX-50 all offer a hybrid powertrain to choose from, unlike the Outlander.

Which Outlander does Edmunds recommend?

We think the SE hits the sweet spot in value. It adds some helpful features such as a wireless charging pad and adaptive cruise control while staying reasonably priced. Add in the Tech package for the full experience with the better 12-speaker Yamaha audio system.

Really Impressive SUV

2023 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

This is my second Mitsubishi SUV. My first was a 2011 Endeavor and I loved that vehicle, so I thought I would give Mitsubishi another look this year when searching for a new ride. I’ve driven many different brands over the years (Audi, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, etc.). Something always brings me back to Mitsubishi. The build quality, impressive technology, and luxury interior craftsmanship …

Cabin noise is atrocious

2024 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

Purchased a 2024 SEL Outlander in February. On most roads the tire noise and wind noise is terrible. It wasn't noticeable during thevtest drive. Difficult to enjoy this vehicle. I highly recommend taking a extensive road test. The seating is comfortable and plenty or tech.

2023 Mitsubishi Outlander SE Special Edition 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

Back while my wife was in school (2013) we purchased an end of lease outlander sport and 120,000 miles later besides a bad TMC module that thing is still going strong. Loud road noise, bad acceleration but it pulled itself through several snowstorms. So since we had such great luck she wanted a Outlander. We've owned the Outlander for several months now and the only issue so far was a …
